PRINTER SETUP
The LABELASE
1000 Tag Printer requires 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.4 A. Fuse:250V, 7A, Fast Acting
NOTE:
both sides of the incoming line voltage are fused. See the Maintenance section for
instructions on replacing fuses.
The LABELASE® 1000 Tag Printer should be positioned so that the power supply cord exits from the back
of the machine.
The LABELASE
1000 Tag Printer should be placed in a temperature controlled environment. This
marker, though designed for industrial use, should be treated as any typical computer system and printer.
Dirty environments will necessitate a more frequent cleaning schedule for internal optics.
If the printer is housed in a secondary protective enclosure, the two exhaust fans located on the bottom of
the printer directly underneath the tag feed drive area must not be obstructed. Ideally the fans should be
exhausted to the environment outside the enclosure, with clean & dry makeup air entering the enclosure
toward the back of the printer near the foam element air filter.
A 12-foot (3.6 meter) RS-232 serial communications cable is provided for communicating with your
Windows-based PC. A USB cable is also provided with the optional USB/ethernet communications
module. See the serial connector wiring diagram at the back of this manual for additional information if
another serial cable is required.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Before connecting the printer to your PC, LabeLase® Producer™ software should first be installed on your
PC.
The easiest way to install the software is to use the Installer Disk that came with your new printer. In
addition to installing the correct version of Producer™ for your specific printer model, it will also allow
you to configure the appropriate communications interface. In most cases this will allow you to skip the
Printer Communications and USB Drivers sections of this manual.
If your original Installer Disk is not available, the latest release of Producer™ software can also be
downloaded directly from
http://www.infosight.com/labelaseproducer.htm
. This is a self-contained, single
self-installing file. However, it will not automatically guide you through the configuration process for
communications, and you must therefore follow the steps outlined in the Printer Communications and USB
Drivers sections of this manual.
