Operating Procedures

5.1 The Printer

The Print Engine requires thermal transfer ribbon to produce a label in the thermal
transfer mode. (In the direct mode, ribbon is not required; however the life of the print
head is reduced considerably.)
The print head makes direct contact with the label surface through the ribbon and heat
from the print head is transmitted directly to the label. The image is transferred with the
ribbon compound onto the labels surface. Label
stock must be of a thermal transfer stock. Print
speed up to 10" ips, resolution 203dpi
(8dots/mm), ribbon capacity of 1968 ft, PCMCIA
sockets (2) optional, max. media width 5.25" ,
max. print width 5.0".
Please refer to the printer manual for set up and
operation of the printer you have chosen to
install in the Model 250 applicator.
Upon energizing the 250 Printer Applicator the
LCD (Display) will slowly illuminate. The first
window that will show up will be the notice that the power is on. On the same window, the
next line down will be the notice of the installed version in the firmware. The next window
that will appear is the notice of the fine company that you purchased the applicator from.
(cool huh?)
