The two print stations on the AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer are
stationary. The print rollers swing open for loading tape and ink and are closed
when the machine is printing. The rollers are held in the print position with a
latch on both the inside and outside end of the rollers.
When printing labels, there are two adjustments you may need to make to the
print stations: (1) adjust the print head pressure, and (2) adjust the contrast,
which controls print darkness (density).
Each print head has two print head pressure buttons, (see Figure 13).
To change the print head pressure settings, follow the steps listed below.
CAUTION: For extended print head life, use the lighter
print pressure setting whenever possible.
1. To decrease print head pressure, use a flat blade screwdriver, depress the
button and to turn both buttons ¼ turn (90 degrees) counterclockwise until
they are in the upper position.
2. To increase print head pressure, use the flat blade screwdriver, depress the
button and to turn each of the buttons clockwise until they are in the lower
position.
CAUTION: Ensure that both buttons on the print head are
in the same position.
The buttons will not rotate all the way around, only 90 degrees back and forth to
the desired setting.
