5 Printing Operation

5.1 Printhead Protection

Attention!

Printhead damage caused by improper handling!

 Do not touch the underside of the printhead with the ngers or sharp objects.

 Ensure that the labels are clean.

 Ensure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough labels act like emery paper and reduce the service life

of the printhead.

 Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.

5.2 Synchronization of the Paper Feed

After the label stock has been inserted, for peel-off mode a synchronization of the paper feed is required. That way

befedoutoftheprinter.Sothesynchronizationavoids,thatblanklabelsarepeeled-offtogetherwiththerstprinted

label.Thiscancauseuselessrstlabel.

 Press to start the synchronization.

 Remove the blank labels peeled-off during the synchronization.

Note!

The synchronization will not be lost by switching off the printer as long as the printhead and the transport

system are kept close.

5.3 Peel-off Mode

In Peel-off mode, the labels are automatically peeled off the liner after printing and presented for removal.

Attention!

 Activate the peel-off mode in the software.

This is done with the "P command" in the direct programming,  Programming Manual.

Note!

The print of a label must be started by the external START or REPRINT signal ( Conguration Manual).

When operating the printer without cab applicator the removal of the label must be conrmed by the

LBLREM signal ( Conguration Manual).

When a cab applicator is connected the LBLREM signal will be generated automatically.

5.4 Ribbon Saving



At devices with automatic ribbon saving only!

If there is no information to print during a longer label feed, the printhead will be lifted, and the transfer ribbon will be

pausedfromfeeding.Thiswillreducetheribbonconsumption.Theminimumlengthforribbonsavingisdenedinthe

rmwareanddependsontheprintspeed.

Theribbonsavercanpermanentlybeactivatedintheprinterconguration(CongurationManual)orjob-oriented

by the software ( Programming Manual).
