Initial Operation of the Label Printer
NOTICE!
The printer can be controlled either by our printer driver or our label design software.
After switching on the label printer the main menu appears which shows the current status as well as current date and time.

Insert the label material and transfer ribbon.

After inserting the labels and the transfer ribbon the labels must be measured by the printer. With this procedure the label
length is measured and the label photocell adjusted.
Press the keys and on the foil keyboard (> 3 sec.) to start the measuring process. For the measuring procedure the
printer must be in online mode.

After terminating the measuring procedure press key to change to the online mode.
NOTICE!
To enable correct measuring, at least two completed labels have to be passed through (not for continuous labels).
During the measuring procedure of the label and gap length small differences can occur. Therefore the values can be set and
transferred to the printer by means of the label design software as well as via the printer driver.
