The Supvan LP5120M is a label printer designed for organized, simple, and efficient labeling tasks. It is a portable device, capable of operating on either a power adapter or six AA alkaline LR6 batteries, making it suitable for various environments. The printer supports multiple label types, including general labels, flag labels, and wrap labels, offering versatility for different applications such as cable identification and general organization.
Function Description
The LP5120M allows users to create and print labels with customizable content and formatting. Its core functions include:
- Label Creation: Users can input text, symbols, and even barcodes to create labels. The printer supports multiple lines of content, with the number of lines depending on the label tape width (e.g., 6mm tape for 2 lines, 9mm and 12mm tape for 3 lines).
- Text Formatting: The device offers various text formatting options, including character size, character width, bold, and italic styles. Users can also add frames to their edited content for enhanced visual organization.
- Orientation: Labels can be printed in either horizontal or vertical orientation, providing flexibility for different labeling needs.
- Cutting Options: The printer offers multiple label cutting ways, including "Cut," "None," and "Solid line," allowing users to choose the most suitable method for their application.
- Chain Printing: This mode enables continuous printing of multiple labels without cutting in between, which is useful for creating a series of related labels.
- Lead Edge Setting: Users can adjust the lead edge of the label, which refers to the blank space at the beginning of the printed label.
- Euro-Latin Letter Input: The printer supports inputting variant forms of Latin letters, catering to different language requirements.
- Barcode Creation: The LP5120M can generate barcodes, expanding its utility for inventory management or asset tracking.
Usage Features
The LP5120M is designed for ease of use, featuring a clear LCD display and a well-organized keyboard layout.
- LCD Display: The LCD provides essential information at a glance, including the current label position, total number of labels, current editing label, total number of editing labels, specified length value, interface content (up to 12 characters per line), preview of flag and wrap labels, capital/small letter input status, and the number of lines created.
- Keyboard Layout: The keyboard includes dedicated keys for common functions such as menu access, adding new labels, printing, entering text, confirming selections, deleting content, and navigating through labels. Special keys like "Shift" enable access to advanced functions and combinations.
- Label Tape Loading: Before loading, users are advised to tighten the ribbon by manually rotating it in the direction of the arrow until it is straight. If the label is curved, it should be straightened, and the ribbon tightened to ensure proper printing.
- Multiple Label Creation: The printer can store up to 20 labels at a time. After editing the first label, users can press the "Add" key to create a new label.
- Label Checking and Editing: For multiple labels, users can easily navigate between them using "Shift" + "▲" (page up) or "Shift" + "▼" (page down) to check or edit content.
- Clearing Label Content: The device allows users to delete characters before the cursor, or clear all settings and content ("Format+Text") or just the text content ("Text") of labels.
- Flag Labels: These labels are designed to be folded and pasted onto cables, with options to set length, diameter for cable wrapping, and label type. Chain printing is not valid for flag labels.
- Wrap Labels: Similar to flag labels, wrap labels are printed in a rotated way and are recommended for cable identification. Users can set the diameter for cable wrapping and choose inverse or repeat printing modes. Chain printing is also not valid for wrap labels. Wrap labels do not allow specifying label length, setting horizontal/vertical orientation, or adding barcodes.
- Common Key Combinations: The manual provides a list of key combinations for efficient operation, such as moving the cursor, reading label tape information, accessing advanced print settings, and managing files (open, save, delete).
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the LP5120M.
- Power Usage: Always use the original Supvan label tape to ensure print quality and prevent damage. The printer should be powered within the 100-240V range using a single power outlet to avoid fire or electric shock.
- Handling and Storage: Avoid letting metal or liquid enter the equipment. Do not disassemble or modify the printer. Keep it away from flammable solvents and fire sources. Store the printer and label tape at room temperature, in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
- Cleaning: When cleaning the printer, use a soft, wet gauze and avoid organic flammable solvents. If the printer outlet is stuck or the cutter cannot cut labels, clean the outside of the full cutting blade with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol to ensure proper cutting.
- Print Head Care: Do not touch the print head with bare hands, as it can cause skin burns if the printer has just finished printing.
- Battery Care: If the printer will not be used for a long time, unplug the power cable and remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Do not use deformed or leaking batteries, and do not throw batteries into fire or high temperatures.
- Cutter Safety: The printer contains a cutter, so use it carefully to prevent scratches.
- Troubleshooting: If any abnormal situation occurs (odor, heat, discoloration, deformation), immediately disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery, and stop using the device.
- Label Tape Installation: Before installing a new label tape, tighten the ribbon to pre-tighten it. When opening the "back cover," ensure no objects touch the inside of the printer.
- General Precautions: Do not force the keyboard or block the label outlet during printing. Avoid forcing the label tape out of the outlet before it is cut, as this can affect print quality or damage the printer. Use the printer on a flat surface to prevent falls and impact vibration.
The Supvan LP5120M is a robust and user-friendly label printer designed to simplify labeling tasks with its comprehensive features and intuitive operation.
