User’s Manual—SNAP™ 600 Printer
3.1.2 Installing Ink to the Bottom Ink Supply Station
Installing Ink on the Bottom Print Station is done in the same way as the Top
Print Station, except that the ink runs up over the Turnbar, across the printhead
to the rewind arbor.
3.1.3 Loading the Stock
Before loading a roll of stock, you will need to be familiar with the following
parts of the AVERY DENNISON SNAP 600 printer (Refer to Figures 9 and 10).
The Stock Arbor is designed to clamp the core of the stock supply rolls to hold
them in place during printing operations. By rotating the outer knob on the
stock arbor, you can adjust for roll widths ranging in size from ½ inch - 2 ¼
inches (12.7 mm – 57.2 mm). This helps keep the stock straight while it moves to
the center of the print head. To function properly, the stock roll must be wound
firmly and centered on the core with no telescoping of the roll. You do not need
to make any other adjustments.
The Stock or Web Guide is located between the Stock Arbor and Lower Print
Station and guides the stock through the machine toward the print head. The
black knob located above the web guide controls the width of the guides.
Turning the knob clockwise will widen the web guides, while counterclockwise
turns will narrow the web guides.
The Upper and Lower Print Stations on the AVERY DENNISON SNAP 600
printer are stationary. The rollers swing open and closed for threading and
printing. These rollers are held in position for printing with latches on both the
inside and outside end of the rollers.
NOTE: If you are printing two-sided labels, both print
rollers must be closed in order for the printer to operate.
If a two-sided label design is sent to the printer and the
lower print roller is open, the Error LED will light up and
the printer will stop. If you are printing single-sided
labels, the lower print roller should remain open so the ink
rolls will not rotate.
The Stock Feed is the assembly located in front of the knife. The Feed has a knob,
which is used to manually advance the material through the knife, the nip roller,
and into the stacker. (See figure 10)
New rolls of Supply Stock are sealed and packaged individually. When you are
ready to load the stock, remove the packaging and follow the steps below.
1. Remove the transparent tape holding the end of the supply stock to the outer
part of the roll. To avoid damaging the rollers or print heads, use scissors to
cut off any portion of the supply stock that has adhesive on it.
2. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to retract the ”fingers.”
