Particular Features A3/200P, A3/300P
The P-versions of the printers are specificly developed for operation in the
peel-off mode and they are equipped with dispense edge and present sensor
as standard. In the peel-off mode the labels are removed from the silicon liner
immediately after printing, and then available in a dispense position ready for
further processing. The sensor, which is attached to the printer by the
peripheral connector, indicates the presence of a label, and pauses the printing
process until the label is removed. After taking the label from the dispense
position the next label will be printed. To guarantee a maximum of reliability in
the peel-off mode the printers are additionally equipped with a pair of rollers to
cause the dispense tension.
NOTICE !
In the delivery state, A3 is configured in such a way, that the print speed
in the peel-off mode is limited to maximum 100mm/s. When using
smaller labels or supply rolls with a small outside diameter it is possible
to increase the print speed for the peel-off mode.
We recommend to carry out preliminary tests with speed limitation
switched off (see printer configuration) !
At A4/300P, A4/600P and A6/300P there is no limitation of the print speed in
the peel-off mode.
Characteristics of the Thermal Printhead
CAUTION !
The thermal printhead is the most sensitive part of your printer. Please
pay special attention to the following guidelines:
1) The glass cover on the printhead must not be touched with the hand. Also,
do not use sharp objects (knives, screwdrivers, etc) to clean the printhead.
2) Ensure that the printhead is properly adjusted at all times.
3) Make sure that there are no high spots or debris on your media to lodge on
or damage the printhead. The label surface must be smooth. Lower grade
direct thermal paper is very rough and will act like sandpaper on the head,
reducing the head's lifetime. Do not use low grade stock.
4) Clean the head at each change of ribbon, or with each new roll of direct
thermal media, with a special cleaning pen, or a cotton swab with isopropyl
alcohol.
5) Print with the lowest possible head temperature to increase the life of the
printhead.
6) When changing the printhead, first turn the power off and disconnect the
power cord. Then, place a clean paper towel or tissue under the head to
provide a clean surface for it to rest on. When removing the head, hold it
on the sides only.
Failure to observe the instructions above can lead to a reduced printhead life.
