Modes of Operation AP 5.4 Dispenser / Internal Rewinder

With the AP 5.4 featuring an internal rewinding module, a label can either be
dispensed (using the dispensing edge) or rewound into the printer housing
(using the deflector) after it is printed.
•
If the printer's Dispenser is used, the label is pulled over the dispensing edge,
and the backing paper is rewound.
•
If its Rewinder is used, the printed label is redirected by a deflector and
rewound together with its backing paper.
The electronics of the rewinder regulate the pull force exerted on the backing
paper so that the same force is exerted regardless of the roll diameter. The
pull force also depends on the material width and the printing speed. The pull
force is either regulated automatically using default parameters, or it can be
set manually.
always be carried out by a qualified authorised service technician.
After the printer is switched on, the rewinder is initialised and the label
material is stretched.
If a print job has already been received, the printer searches for the first
punch at reduced print speed. The label material is wound forward by the
distance between the punch sensor and the printhead (70 mm). This distance
is used by the rewinder's control electronics to calculate the diameter of the
backing paper roll already wound up. To enable the control electronics to
calculate diameters even when using continuous material, printing is also
suspended for the first 70 mm. Processing of the print job then commences
at the print speed set on the printer or by the print job.
Should operational issues occur, the rewinder is switched off automatically.
When the maximum diameter of the backing paper roll is reached, a
corresponding message is displayed and the rewinder is switched off
automatically.
Dispenser The following modes of operation are available for the dispenser:
Modes
•
Dispenser Mode with Dispensing Edge Sensor:
Material is fed right up to the dispensing edge, that is the label to be
dispensed sticks to the dispensing edge (set dispensing position). The printer
only feeds the next unprinted label backwards underneath the printhead and
begins printing, once the previous label has been taken off.
•
Dispenser Mode with Foot Switch:
Depressing the foot switch triggers the printing and dispensing of one label.
The next unprinted label is immediately positioned under the printhead.
