Introduction Instructions Important information and instructions in this documentation are designated as follows: Danger! Draws your attention to an exceptionally grave, impending danger to your health or life. Warning! Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to injuries or material damage. Attention! Draws attention to possible dangers, material damage or loss of quality.
Introduction before changing material and before disassembly. • Risk of crushing when closing the cover. Touch the cover at the outside only. Do not reach into the swivel range of the cover. • Perform only those actions described in this operating manual. Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
Installation Unpacking and Setting-up the Printer Lift the label printer out of the box via the straps. Check label printer for damage which may have occurred during transport. Set up printer on a level surface. Remove foam transportation safeguards near the printhead. ...
Control Panel Structure of the Control Panel The user can control the operation of the printer with the control panel, for example: • Issuing, interrupting, continuing and canceling print jobs, • Setting printing parameters, e.g. heat level of the printhead, print speed, interface configuration, language and time of day (...
Control Panel Printer States State Display Description Ready Ready The printer is in the ready state and can receive data. and configured symbol displays, such as time and date Printing label Printing label The printer is currently processing an active print job.
Control Panel Key Functions The key functions depend on the current printer state: - Active functions: Labels and symbols on the navigator pad keys light up. - Active functions light up white in print mode (e. g. menu or feed). - Active functions light up orange in the offline menu (arrows, key 8 ).
(2) and a clear resistance is encountered. 6. Turn ring (5) clockwise, so that the arrow (6) points to the symbol , and thus fix the margin stop (4) on the roll retainer (3). A4+M A4+T Fig. 8 Material feed path...
4. Push media strip below the guide roller (7) between the guides (8). 5. Guide media strip through the label sensor (9) in such a way that it leaves the print mechanics (6, fig 1) at A4+M between printhead (16) and the print roller (18) respectively at A4+T between pressing roller system (15) and pinch roller (19).
Loading Material Loading Fanfold Labels Fig. 10 Loading fanfold labels 1. Position label stack (5) behind the printer. 2. Turn ring (4) counterclockwise, so that the arrow points to the symbol , and thus release the margin stop (3). Leave the margin stop on the roll retainer (7). 3.
Loading Material Loading Transfer Ribbon Notice! With direct thermal printing, do not load a transfer ribbon; if one has already been loaded, remove it. Fig. 11 Loading transfer ribbon Fig. 12 Transfer ribbon feed path 1. Clean printhead before loading the transfer ribbon ( 6.3 on page 19). 2.
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. Fig. 13 Setting the feed path of the transfer ribbon 1.
Printing Operation Printhead Protection Attention! Printhead damage caused by improper handling! Do not touch the heating elements of the printhead 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.
Printing Operation Avoiding Loss of Material (A4+T only) Attention! Loss of material! At A4+T a media backfeed from the cutting edge to the printhead is not allowed due to the reliability of the media transport. Therefore every interruption of the continuos print process has the following consequences : •...
Cleaning Cleaning Information Danger! Risk of death via electric shock! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before performing any maintenance work. The label printer requires very little maintenance. It is important to clean the thermal printhead regularly. This guarantees a consistently good printed image and plays a major part in preventing premature wear of the printhead.
Fault Correction Types of Errors The diagnostic system indicates on the screen if an error has occurred. The printer is set into one of the three possible error states according to the type of error. State Display Remark Correctable error pause flashes ...
