BRADYMARKER

 

PS printer

 

 

A.   General unit description

 

The Bradymarker PS printer is a Bradymarker XC Plus printer which has been modified to 
allow it to print PermaSleeve  wire marking sleeves, in addition to all other Bradymarker 
consumables. This section will address changes and additions found in the PS model. 
Differences between the two versions of printer include the following (refer to Fig. 1, pg. 1). 

 

1.  The “print head” features a gap adjuster mechanism on the PS version (see Section B). 
2.  A “print cover” with no tear bar is needed when using PSBX sleeves (two different covers 

are included with a PS unit). 

3.  The “roll holder brackets” are replaced with a “roll unwind assembly” for PSBX sleeves. 

 

When PermaSleeve markers are to be printed with the unit, make sure the roll unwind 
assembly and “PS” printer cover (no tear bar) are installed on the unit. Set the print head gap as 
in Section B. Store the roll holder brackets and “Plus” printer cover (with tear bar) in the 
Bradymarker carrying case for future use (see Section E, pg. 8). 

 

B.   Setting the print head gap

 

The Bradymarker PS printer features a print head gap adjuster mechanism, which allows it to 
compensate for material thickness.  
The gap is adjusted as follows (refer to Fig. A): 

 

 

 
 
 
 

1.  Remove the print cover. 

 

2.  Using a slotted screwdriver, loosen the “adjuster lock screw” by turning it one revolution 

counter-clockwise.
