Thermocode 2 Printer manual Version 2.04 January 2011 6

Introduction
This operator manual describes how to operate and maintain a
Thermocode Series 2
(
Model 53CR
) on a
basic level. The mechanical adjustments that can be made to the printer are minimal. Normally the printer is
installed in a standard frame, which allows the correct clearance from the lower roller unit and the alignments
deemed needed.
Operation of the printer is either by selection of a stored format within the printer memory, or by designing a
dedicated format from the windows software and then downloading from a standalone computer.
Using the mini-terminal, formats can then be selected and edited by the operator as required.
If you are making your own frame or installing into a specific type of machine, you must consult the
manufacturer to ensure you receive the correct detailed dimensions required for your installation.
