Main parts of the Printer
Note: Small differences can be found on the printer model, but the
general construction is the same.
The Print head is mounted at the front of the printer and can be raised to
access the labels and ribbon by turning the Print head lifting handle.
A Ribbon guide is located in front of the Print head (see next page). The
ribbon guide allows the ribbon and labels time to cool down, ensuring that
the text adheres to the label.
Prior to the label arriving at the print head, it passes a Label-gap sensor.
With its signal the printer calculate the length of the label, and keeps track
of the exact location of the label edge. The printer will automatically stop if
the label gap sensor detects that the label supply is used up.
The printer has two Stepper motors that used to advance or feed out
labels and ribbon.
A Low level ribbon sensor provides a warning if the ribbon level is low and
stops the printer if the ribbon supply is used up.
A Low level labels photocell provides a warning signal when the label roll is
about to run out.
