•
Ensure there is a genuine printable medium correctly positioned on the template then:
Set the data in the program, proceed via Print Setup to Print Preview (Consult user manual)
then press F6 to start the printing cycle; the carriage will close then gradually open again
automatically, until it stops fully open at the end of the cycle, with the sheet printed.
•
Remove printed sheet and continue loading/print preview/printing cycle.
For the best printing results, we recommend:
•
Using only genuine CONTA-CLIP materials (media, printer ribbons, spares and cleaning kits).
•
Handling blank media sheets carefully to avoid touching the print surface with the fingers.
•
Before printing, always check the cleanliness of the sheets. If necessary wipe the surface with
a soft cloth.
•
Keeping new or partially used sheets clean and dry, eg in their original packaging.
•
When printing partially used sheets, ensure there are no protruding sprues, burrs along the
sheared edges or tags bent upwards which may damage the print head.
•
When printing partially used sheets, ensure the Jump function is used correctly to avoid
printing non-existent media, contaminating the support template and possibly causing
irrevocable damage to the print head.
