Page 15: Loading Transfer Ribbon
Loading Material Loading Transfer Ribbon Notice! With direct thermal printing, do not load a transfer ribbon; if one has already been loaded, remove it. Figure 17 Load transfer ribbon Figure 18 Transfer ribbon feed path 1. Clean the printheads before loading the transfer ribbon ( 6.3 on page 20). 2. -
Page 16: Setting The Feed Path Of The Transfer Ribbon
Loading Material Setting the Feed Path of the Transfer Ribbon Transfer ribbon wrinkling can lead to print image errors. Transfer ribbon deflection can be adjusted so as to prevent wrinkles. Notice! The adjustment is best carried out during printing. Figure 19 Setting the upper ribbon feed path Figure 20 Setting the lower ribbon feed path 1. -
Page 17: Operation
Operation Printhead Protection Attention! Printhead damage caused by improper handling! Do not touch the heating elements of the printheads with the fingers or sharp objects. Ensure that the material is clean. Ensure that the material surfaces are smooth. Rough material act like emery paper and reduce the service life of the printhead. -
Page 18: Avoiding Loss Of Material
Operation Avoiding Loss of Material Attention! Loss of material! The print images for the upper and the lower side of one label/section are printed at two different places in the media feed. Therefore every interruption of the continuos print process has the following consequences : •... -
Page 19: Avoiding Loss Of Data
Operation Avoiding Loss of Data Attention! Loss of data! When correctable errors occur labels/sections which are already printed by the lower printhead but not are completed by the upper printhead cannot be repeated after error correction. The data of those sections are lost for the printer. -
Page 20: Cleaning
Cleaning Cleaning Information Danger! Risk of death via electric shock! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before performing any maintenance work. The transfer printer requires very little maintenance. It is important to clean the thermal printheads regularly. This guarantees a consistently good printed image and plays a major part in preventing premature wear of the printhead. -
