Printing 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
Following blank sections in the media strip are generated, which cannot be used. • For operation with cutter the length of the blank section is at least 85 mm (XD4M) or 115 mm (XD4T) for continuos material. For structured media where the print image has to be synchronized to the media transport the loss of material can reach a length of more than 300 mm. -
Page 19: Avoiding Loss Of Data
Printing 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. -
