Initial Set-Up
Connecting the Printer
1. Locate a suitablespot for the printer. It shouldbe within6 ft. of the
host if using an IEEE1284 Parallel interface or within35 ft. if using a
High SpeedRS232 interface. For other types of Plug-In interface
cards, see the Operator andTechnical Reference Manual. Make sure
there is adequate room above and to the right of the printer for the la-
bel access door to swing open.
2. Plug the AC cableprovided into the back of the printer and connect
to a suitable115VAC outlet.
3. Open the print headand load the ribbon using the ribbon routing
guide locatedon the inside of the topcover. Be sure to position the
ribbon roll correctly on the Ribbon Supply Spindleand placethe
sparetake-up core on the Take-UpSpindle. Tape the free end of the
ribbon to the take-upcore so that it will take-upwhen rotating in a
counter clockwise direction.
4. Place the label roll on the Label Supply Spindleand push the green
Label Roll Retainer on the spindle until it pushes the label roll all the
way to the inside of the printer. The labels shouldcome off the bot-
tom of the roll (labels wound face-inon the roll).
5. Route the labels as indicated by the label routing diagram on the in-
side of the topcover. The labels should go under the plastic guide,
through the Label Sensor Assembly, under the print head andout the
front of the printer. Position the Label Edge Guide toward the inside
of the printer until it barely contacts the outside edge of the labels.
6. Closethe Print HeadLatch and then the side access door last.
7. Select the proper label sensing method using the front panel DIP
switches. The DIP switch function chart is located on the inside of
the front cover. The printer comes from the factory set for label gap
detection (DSW2-2, DSW3-3 both OFF). Note that the OFF position
for the DSW switches is downandthe ON position up.
8. Apply power by placing the front panel Power switch in the “1" posi-
tion.
9. The Power and On-Line LEDs should be illuminatedand ONLINE
should be displayed on the LCD.
10. Press the LINE key once. The On Line LED should go out and
OFFLINE should be displayed on the LCD.
11. Press the FEED key once. The printer shouldfeed out one label and
stop.
