Printer Set Up Sequence
1) Power off the printer, remove the stock and ink and thoroughly clean the printer
from the unwind to the stacker using alcohol and a clean soft cloth. The print head
should be cleaned as per the Print Head Cleaning section in this manual.
- NEVER use an alcohol-based solution when cleaning the sensors or light bar.
2) Load a full roll of an average width stock and ink on the printer.
3) Power on the printer. After passing the diagnostics tests the front panel will
display READY FOR BATCHES.
4) Arrow down to the Print / Cut Position mode and press enter.
At the Print Checkout Format screen press enter.
5) Press start. After several labels have been print and cut stop the printer and
evaluate the last label out.
6) Adjust as needed the print head position and then pressure for optimum print
quality (refer to the Print Head Adjustment section in this manual).
7) Confirm the centerline is actual in the center of the media. If it is not, first check
and adjust as needed the unwind core guides, then adjust the decurler collars. If
the print quality is inadequate refer back to step number six.
8) Using two consecutive labels back to back, check the squareness of the cut.
Adjust the knife module as needed (refer to the Knife Square Adjustment section in
this manual).
9) Using the front panel, adjust the label leading edge cut to be 1.0" +- .032" from
the cut line printed on the label. The printer is now ready for production formats at
which time you should need only to fine-tune the print, cut, and strobe via the front
panel for individual formats.
NOTE: If the printer is used to print on multiple media types, the print head may
need to be adjusted for optimum print quality on each media as they are ran.
