Overview

The Panduit MP100 Printer is a portable labeling device designed for quick and efficient label creation in various industrial and commercial settings. It is a compact printer that can be connected to mobile devices via Bluetooth or to computers via USB, offering flexibility in how users create and print labels. The printer is compatible with Panduit's mobile applications, "Panduit Easy-Mark iLabel" and "Panduit Easy-Mark Network," which allow users to design and print labels directly from their smartphones or tablets. For more advanced labeling needs, the printer also works with Panduit's Easy-Mark Plus Labeling Software on computers.

Function Description:

The primary function of the MP100 Printer is to produce high-quality, durable labels for a wide range of applications, including wire/cable marking, terminal block labeling, and general safety/facility identification. It supports various continuous label materials, such as self-laminating vinyl tape, heat shrink tubing, nylon cloth tape, polyolefin tape, colored vinyl tape, clear polyester tape, and magnetic tape. This versatility allows users to select the most appropriate label material for their specific needs, ensuring longevity and readability in diverse environments.

The printer features a user-friendly interface with several indicator lamps and buttons. The power button turns the printer ON/OFF, while an error lamp indicates any issues with the printer's operation. A battery lamp shows the approximate remaining charge, and a Bluetooth lamp indicates the status of the Bluetooth connection. These indicators provide essential feedback to the user, helping them monitor the printer's status and troubleshoot minor issues.

For mobile connectivity, the MP100 Printer utilizes Bluetooth technology, enabling wireless communication with compatible mobile devices. Users can install Panduit's dedicated mobile apps to create labels with text, barcodes (1D), QR codes, and date/time stamps. The apps also offer features like voice-to-text input, saving labels, sharing and storing files online, and a variety of font sizes. The "Easy-Mark Network App" specifically caters to creating cable markers and labels for patch panels, faceplates, and modules, with ANSI/TIA-606 compliance and integration with Fluke LinkWare™ Live.

When connected to a computer via USB, the printer works with Panduit's Easy-Mark Plus Labeling Software, which provides a comprehensive platform for label design and printing. This software is sold separately and includes the necessary drivers for the MP100 printer.

Usage Features:

The MP100 Printer is designed for ease of use, both in terms of power supply and label cassette insertion. It can be powered by six AA-size alkaline batteries, offering portability for on-site labeling tasks. Alternatively, it can be powered by an included AC adapter, which is suitable for stationary use.

Inserting a label cassette is a straightforward process. Users first remove any slack in the tape inside the cassette using a pen or pencil, then open the cassette door/printer cover, place the cassette into the printer, and pass the end of the tape through a designated gap before closing the cover. This ensures proper tape feeding and prevents jams.

The printer comes with a protective impact bumper, enhancing its durability and making it suitable for rugged work environments. It also includes a security anchor, allowing users to secure the printer to a desk or post with a commercial security cable lock, preventing theft or accidental displacement.

Bluetooth connectivity is a key feature, allowing users to pair the printer with their mobile devices. The process involves turning on the printer, enabling its Bluetooth function (if disabled), and then pairing it with the mobile device through the device's Bluetooth settings. For iOS devices, it is recommended to set Auto-Lock to "Never" or the longest time allowed to prevent disruption during printing. Users are also advised not to switch between applications on iOS devices while printing to maintain a stable Bluetooth connection.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance of the MP100 Printer primarily involves replacing batteries and label cassettes, and cleaning the print head. The battery cover is located at the bottom of the printer and can be easily opened for inserting or replacing AA alkaline batteries.

The printer cover can be opened not only for inserting tape cartridges but also for print head cleaning. While the manual does not detail the print head cleaning process, it refers users to an instruction label inside the cassette compartment for guidance. Regular cleaning of the print head is crucial for maintaining print quality and extending the life of the printer.

For troubleshooting, the manual provides a table explaining the meanings of the printer's indicator lamps. These lamps can signal various statuses, such as Bluetooth enabled/connected, printing/cutting operations, Bluetooth disabled, power off, low batteries, or the need for battery replacement. This information helps users quickly diagnose and resolve common issues.

Additional support and resources are available on the Panduit website, including free downloads for replacement quick reference cards, product bulletins, and product specifications. Warranty registration and information on related products like MP label cassettes and the MP300 printer are also accessible. For technical assistance, Panduit provides a dedicated support line and email address.
