2.6 Mandrels and Reels
The PL1200 labeling unit has four mandrels. These mandrels accommodate the reels of material
for labeling and printing. Two mandrels are dedicated to the thermal transfer print ribbon reels,
these are the smaller of the two sets, and the two larges ones are for the label reels.
Each set of mandrels consists of a ‘stock’ mandrel and a ‘take-up’ mandrel. The ‘stock’ mandrels
hold the thermal transfer tape ribbon reel and the label ribbon reel for dispensing. The ‘take up’
mandrels
contain the used ribbon and label material reels for collection. Please see diagram 2.6a
