All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Your AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer is designed with both upper and
lower ink supply stations.
The ink arbors have a spring-loaded latch, which self-centers the roll of ink to
ensure smooth tracking through the machine. If you are using supplies based on
the metric system, ensure that the latch on the arbor is gray. If you are using
supplies based on the inch, ensure that the latch on the arbors is black.
The ink cores have splines on their inside surfaces. These splines align with the
grooves in the ink arbors. When installing the ink roll, the splines must align
with the grooves.
1. Install an empty ink core on the upper ink rewind arbor. It is important that
the core be the same width as the core of the ink being used.
NOTE: The empty ink core should be the same width as
the ink supply roll.
a. Press the latch, rotate the core slightly to align the splines and
grooves, and slide it gently onto the arbor. Release the latch as soon
as the core starts to slide on the arbor.
b. As you slide the core onto the arbor, you will hear a clicking noise as
the latch ratchets onto the core. When the core is centered on the
arbor, it will stop. See Figure 7.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the print head, the ink
supply roll should be ¼ inch (6 mm) wider than the tape.
