TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)
• CONTINUOUS/DIE-CUT LABELS
When using Die-Cut labels, you must change the settings of the printer so that the
gap sensor detects the die-cut material. If you do not do this, the print will not correctly
align.
There are 2 steps involved with this.
1) Go to the "Stock" tab in the Printing Preferences screen. You can reach this at:
Start -> Devices and Printers -> LabelTac 4 -> Printing Preferences -> Stock
In this screen you will find an area called "Media Settings". If you have been printing on
continuous vinyl, the "Type" should be set to "Continuous". Change this to "Labels with
Gaps". Leave the other settings as is.
2) Turn off the LabelTac 4 PRO printer. Load the die-cut supply in the printer. Hold the
top button down, and while holding it down, turn the printer back on. The LED will blink
amber once, blink green once, and then begin flashing red rapidly 5 times. Release
the button during the red blinking. The printer will feed out some of the die-cut material
as the gaps/black marks are sensed. You should now be ready to print on the die-cut
material.
When switching back to continuous vinyl, turn the printer off, load the vinyl supply in
the LabelTac 4 PRO and hold down the top button. While holding down the button, turn
the printer back on and release when the printer begins flashing green rapidly. (This
will be after the red blink cycle and amber blink cycle). The printer will feed material,
but will not cut after this intial feed, or if you press the feed button. This is normal.
Once you send a print job to the printer it will resume its normal cutting function.
