4) Open the hinged cover to the printer.
5) Open the print head by pushing the release lever and allowing the head to swing
up.
6) Open the feed roller by rotating the feed pressure knob fully counter clockwise.
7) After looping the leading edge of the stock over the two decurler bars, slide it
through the funnel containing the registration sensor and light bar. Keep the stock
in the center, as the printer is center justified.
8) As the stock exits the sensor area, continue to slide the stock through the print
station.
9) Once the stock passes though the feed rollers, slide it through the auxiliary feed
then through the knife and into the stacker.
10) Check that the stock is center and tracking straight through the printer. Adjust as
needed.
11) Close the feed roller and the print head.
12) Rewind any loose stock back onto the supply roll.

Butt Splicing Stock
NOTE: DO NOT RUN BUTT SPLICES THROUGH THE PRINT STATION
WITH THE PRINTHEAD CLOSED.
The AVERY DENNISON 656 / 636 has been designed so that supplies can be
changed / replenished quickly. Removing the stock trailer remaining in the printer
and re-threading the stock altogether can be quicker than butt splicing can. If
however you have determined a butt splice is necessary, you can tape together the
leader of the new stock roll & the trailer of the depleted stock still in the printer.
When the stock is depleted and the printer stops with a stock out error message, load
a new supply roll onto the printer unwind following the procedure previously
outlined. Make sure you have determined how the new roll should go on the unwind
to prevent any twisting in the stock. Tape the two ends together and remove all slack
by rotating the supply roll counterclockwise. Open the printhead and feed roller and
manually advance the splice beyond the print station.
NOTE: Whenever stock of a different type or width is put on 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 procedures
and perform the procedure needed to make the necessary improvement).
