CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print head, do not
use butt splices.
The AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer is designed to allow for fast, frequent
changing and loading of tape and supplies. On this model it is quicker to re-
thread the tape than to use a butt splice.
In order to print labels, you must send a Print Job to the printer. The Print Job
tells the printer what label to print, what information to print on the label, and
how many labels to print.
How a Print Job gets to the printer depends on how your company system is set
up. You may be using AVERY DENNISON's label design program PCMate
Platinum, or you may be using a special application on a PC or a mainframe.
Consult your supervisor on how your company sends Print Jobs.
The Control Panel on your AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer is located at
the top of the machine. Figure 11 shows the control buttons and lights displayed
on the printer. The buttons allow you to control the printer, and the lights
indicate the status of the printer.
The Start Button starts and stops printing. If there are labels ready to print,
•
pressing the Start Button starts printing. If the printer is running, pressing
the Start Button stops printing.
The Ready Light indicates the printer has been powered up, completed its
•
diagnostics, and is ready to accept Print Jobs.
The Data Light indicates you have sent a Print Job to the printer and it is
•
ready to print.
The Supply Light indicates that either the tape or ink supply has run out and
•
needs reloading, or the stacker is full. It may also come on if you have an
accessory attached and there is a problem with it.
The Error Light indicates a problem exists somewhere in the printer.
•
If the printer is not printing, pressing the Voice Button will play a message
•
describing the status of the printer. If the printer is printing, pressing the
Voice Button will stop printing.
