46 User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
Classification: Avery Dennison - Public
5.1.2 Adjusting Density (Darkness)
The contrast knob for adjusting print density (darkness) is located on the front of
each print station (see Figure 13). You may adjust the contrast knob while
printing labels.
The nominal contrast setting is in the center of the rotation.
1. To increase print density, rotate the contrast knob clockwise.
2. To decrease print density, rotate the contrast knob counterclockwise.
You can manually rotate the contrast knob 270 degrees. At maximum value, the
print will not become any darker. In fact, it may actually begin to get lighter.
CAUTION: For extended print head life, use the lowest
print contrast the produces acceptable print quality.
5.2 Adjusting the Stacker
The stacker on your SNAP 700 printer is adjustable in four ways: the position of
the stacker on the mounting pins, the height of the stack, the angle at which
labels are accumulated in the stack, and the angle of the platform. Different
settings of these adjustments may be needed depending on the length and width
of the labels being printed and the material being used. There are no incorrect
settings, only adjustments that allow the stacker to better accommodate the size
and type of material used for the label being printed and stacked. You will soon
learn the settings that work best for your labels.
5.2.1 Stacker Position
The stacker slides in and out on the mounting pins. This allows for proper
positioning of the stacker for the width of the label you are printing. The stacker
should be set so that the back wall of the stacker is just behind the back end of
the label where it comes out of the nip rollers.
The stacker mount bracket has a thumbscrew that locks the stacker in position
and also stiffens the mounting.
Adjusting the stacker angle (see section 4.2.3) will move the position of the back
wall. If you adjust the stacker angle, be sure to readjust the stacker position.
5.2.2 Toggle Switch
The stacker has two electronic sensors that set where the top of the stack is.
Depending on the size of the label to be collected on the stacker, use the toggle
switch to select from the two different electronic sensors (See Figure 5 and 11).
There is no correct or incorrect switch setting. Use the setting that works best.
1. Determine the size of label to be printed.
