The
Apollo 4
can be operated in direct thermal as well as thermal transfer
mode.
For direct thermal mode, only use print material with a thermal-reactive coating.
The print image is transferred by heating the material at the printhead, causing
a reaction on the surface of the paper and, consequently, darkening the
material.
In thermal transfer mode, not only standard paper labels are needed but also
the thermal transfer ribbon with a color surface. The printout is created by
heating the transfer ribbon, causing a transfer of color particles onto the label.
Apollo 4
allows to regulate the heat level and also the print speed. Thus, the
Apollo 4
offers a wide range of opportunities for usage.
The
Apollo 4
is able to print on labels and continuous paper with a maximum
supply roll diameter of 8 in (200 mm).
The minimum core diameter is 1.5 in (40 mm).
The printer can also process fanfold label material.
The ability of label edge recognition, which guarantees the precise position of
the printer output, is accomplished by a moveable photocell. This sensor is
controlled by the processor of the
Apollo 4
and ensures recognition for
different sorts of material. There is no need for additional electronic
adjustment.
On the following pages, you will find detailed information and specifications
concerning suitable materials.
If you have any questions, check with your local distributor as not every
material can be used for direct thermal or thermal transfer printing.
If in doubt, we will perform test prints with your label material to find the best
suitable transfer ribbon.
