6. Printing
ATTENTION!
The print head can be damaged if handled improperly!
⇒ Do not touch the bottom of the print head with your fingers or sharp objects.
⇒ Ensure that the labels are clean.
⇒ Ensure smooth label surfaces. Raw labels are like emery and reduce the service life
of the print head.
⇒ Print at the lowest possible print head temperature.
6.1. Synchronization
The printer is ready for operation when all connections have been made, the labels and, if
necessary the transfer ribbon, have been loaded and the print head is locked. For details on
printer configuration, see the ‘Configuration instructions’.
After loading the label medium, synchronization is necessary. During synchronization, the
printer automatically determines the length of the loaded labels and sets label advancement
accordingly.
1. Press the feed button to start synchronization.
2. Remove empty labels after synchronization.
The printer is synchronized with the loaded label medium.
NOTICE!
Synchronization is not necessary if the print head was not opened between different print jobs,
even if the printer was switched off.
6.2. Tear-Off mode
In Tear-Off mode, labels or continuous media are printed. After printing, the label strip is
separated by hand. The label printer is equipped with a tear-off plate for this. Optionally, the
label can be cut off or label strips can be wound up externally.
6.3. Peel-Off mode (Option)
In Peel-Off mode, the labels are automatically peeled off the carrier medium after printing and
presented for removal. The label printer is equipped with a dispense plate and a peel-off
sensor or peel-off adapter. The carrier medium is wound up inside the printer.
6.4. Internal rewinding (Option)
The labels are wound up internally after printing with the carrier medium for later use. The
label printer is equipped with a rewind guide plate for this.
