Replenishing Fabric at End of Roll
• The PAXAR 545 has been designed so that the fabric can be
replenished quickly.
• Cut the fabric from and remove the spent fabric roll core.
• Place a new roll on the unwind and adhere the end of the last roll still
threaded in the printer to the leader of the new roll. Make sure you
have determined the orientation to prevent any twisting in the fabric.
• The front panel START button will then automatically advance the
joint splice beyond the print stations prior to the print heads swinging
into the print position. This prevents any labels from being produced
on the joint splice.
• Remove the “advance splice stripes” containing the joint splice as they
arrive at the stacker.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRINT ON HAND MADE SPLICES AS
PRINT MODULE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. A SPLICE MAY
CONFLICT WITH THE PRINTHEADS OR HEAD SWING ARM
MOVEMENTS. IF A SPLICE HAS BEEN MADE FOR ANY
REASON OTHER THAN A “STOCK OUT” ERROR CONDITION
MANUALLY ADVANCE IT BEYOND THE PRINT STATIONS.
NOTE: Whenever fabric of a different width is threaded through the printer, a
sample run should be performed. If the print quality / registration is
acceptable, you can immediately begin your production run. If the print
quality / registration needs to be optimized, refer to the Printer Setup
procedure and make the necessary adjustments.
Splices
The PAXAR 545 machine and the fabric it prints on have been designed so
that factory splices can be detected. When a splice is detected, the machine
will stop with a “STOPPED FOR SPLICE “ error.
• The front panel START button will then automatically advance the
factory splice beyond the print stations prior to the print heads
swinging into the print position. This prevents any labels from being
produced that contain splicing material.
• Remove the “advance splice strips” containing the splice as they arrive
at the stacker.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRINT ON HAND MADE SPLICES AS
PRINT MODULE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. A SPLICE MAY
CONFLICT WITH THE PRINTHEADS OR HEAD SWING ARM
MOVEMENTS. IF A SPLICE HAS BEEN MADE FOR ANY
REASON OTHER THAN A “STOCK OUT” ERROR CONDITION
MANUALLY ADVANCE IT BEYOND THE PRINT STATIONS.
