4.2 Threading of thermal transfer foil
y
Attach foil reel onto foil mandrel on the right-hand side for anticlockwise unwinding of foil.
Attach empty foil core onto mandrel on left-hand side.
y
Insert foil end diagonally from the front under print-head holder and print head holder with
open hinge drive mechanism. If foil is changed during a print job, lift print head by short
depression of the FEED key.
y
Pull foil upward and simultaneously move it towards printer.
y
Guide foil around feed roller and attach it to foil core in anticlockwise direction (foil may be
folded so that adhesive part at start of foil can be used).
By simultaneous depression of the (ON/OFFLINE)-and (FEED)-keys, material and foil can be
advanced until perfect unwinding of foil is warranted.
Note: Sometimes it is helpful to release the head and rotate the head to insert foil
into the printer! As well rotating the head means that the wires connected to the
head can be to short – then please disconnect the wires – only if the printer is
switched OFF ! Do not forget to connect again – and check if the connectors are
properly mounted!
