Operation
!
Attention!
Printhead damage caused by improper handling!
Do not touch the underside of the printhead with the fingers or sharp objects.
Ensure that the labels are clean.
Ensure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough labels act like emery paper and reduce the service life
of the printhead.
Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
The device is ready for operation when
•
all connections have been made,
•
labels and, if applicable, the transfer ribbon have been loaded,
•
the system has been adapted to the tube dimensions.
6.1
Synchronization of the Paper Feed
After the label stock has been inserted, for peel-off or
cutting mode a synchronization of the paper feed is required.
That way the first label, which is detected by the label sensor, will be transported to the print position and all labels in
front will be fed out of the device. So the synchronization avoids, that blank labels are peeled-off together with the first
printed label or that the first cut label would be too long. Both effects can cause useless first labels.
Select
to start the synchronization.
Remove the blank labels peeled-off or cut during the synchronization.
i
Note!
Synchronization is not necessary if the printhead was not opened between different print jobs, even if the
device was switched off.
