Selecting the printing material

Thermal transfer / direct thermal printing

The ALX92x can print onto label material using the direct thermal mode or

thermal transfer mode.

Direct thermal Direct thermal printing is done without ribbon. The direct thermal process

requires label material with a temperature-sensitive coating. The printout is

produced by applying precise bursts of heat to the material under the

printhead. This changes the colour of the coating.

Thermal

transfer Thermal transfer printing is done with (thermal transfer) ribbon on “normal”

label material. The printout is produced by applying precise bursts of heat to

the thermal transfer ribbon under the printhead. This transfers the colour

particles to the label.

Label material

The ALX92x was developed for printing on self-adhesive stock.

Pay attention to the following factors when selecting label material:

•The roughness of the material surface

•The printhead temperature required for the colour transfer

•Size of the material roll. The following dimensions need to be checked:

Outside-/inside diameter of the material roll and the material width

Material

roughness If the material is very rough, the printhead will be worn down more quickly

than when using a smooth material. This is an important aspect of thermal

printing. With thermal transfer printing, this doesn’t pose such a problem,

because you can – and indeed should – select a ribbon that iswider than the

material. This means that the printhead is protected over the entire width of

the material.

Printhead

temperature High printhead temperatures can similarly cause problems. The material and

the ribbon take longer to cool. As a result, the print quality may degrade –

particularly at high print speeds. The printhead also wears down more

quickly.

¯The printing result is highly dependent on the right combination of label

material and thermal transfer ribbon. The surface of the label material

determines which thermal transfer ribbons produces the best adhesion.

Unsuitable ribbons can lead to poor printing results.

PFurther information can be found in the topic section Technical data, section

“Label material”.

06/06 Rev. 3.05-01 OPERATING MANUAL Setup

ALX 92x

Thermal transfer ribbon

The following is recommended for thermal transfer ribbons:

•The back of the ribbon should be coated so that it produces no static or

friction (Backcoating). If this isn’t the case, the printhead may be damaged by

static discharge coming off the ribbon surface.

•The ribbons need to be designed for “corner edge” printheads.

•Ribbons should be able to handle print speeds of up to 400mm/s (16ips).

•Size of the ribbon roll: The following dimensions need to be checked: outside/

inside diameter of the ribbon roll, ribbon width.

Armor APR600 (Avery part no. 2240-600-xxx) is a recommended ribbon

type.

¯The thermal transfer ribbon should only be slightly wider than the label

material.

•If an overly narrow ribbon is used, the border of the label material interferes

with the printhead – which wears it down more quickly.

•If an overly wide ribbon is used, creasing may occur in the ribbon. This can

led to poor printing results.

PFor more details on the permissible dimensions of ribbon rolls, refer to

Technical data, “Thermal Transfer Ribbon”.

the performance of the printer and the print quality as well as damage the

Inserting label material

Removing spent backing paper

The backing paper rewinder can exactly

rewind the amount of backing paper remai-

ning from a material roll with 300mm dia-

meter [2A].

Assuming backing paper has gathered on

the rewinder:

1. Pull out the release button [2B].

The tensioning mechanism of the rewinder

is slackened.

2. Remove the rewound backing paper.

Removing glue residue

«If necessary, clean the following compo-

nents:

•Printhead

•Dispensing plate

•Deflection rollers

•Drive roller

•Pressure rollers

PFollow the directions provided in topic sec-

tion Maintenance and Cleaning.

WARNING!

•Rotating parts can trap items and

draw them in!

«When working on the device, do

not wear loose jewellery, long

sleeves, long hair, and similar.

«Close the devices cover before

printing.

•During operation, the printhead

can become hot.

«Be careful when touching the

printhead!

CAUTION! - A backing paper roll

exceeding the diameter limit can

stall and damage the machine!

«Always remove the backing paper

from the rewinder if you insert a

new material roll!

Inserting a new label roll

1. Turn thumb screw [3A] loose and swivel

guide rod [3B] aside.

2. Push the material roll onto the unwinder

[3C] with the appropriate adapter rings.

The material roll should turn in an anti-

clockwise direction when unwinding.

3. Swivel guide rod to the unwinder axle as

illustrated [3] and shift it close to the mate-

rial roll. Tighten the thumb screw again.

4. Lay the material around deflection rollers

[4A] and dancer arm [4B].

5. Open the front cover.

6. Set the material guide to the width of the

label material. To do this loosen the thumb

screw [5A] at the front material guide, shift

the material guide [5B] crossways to the

feed direction and tighten thumb screw

again.

¯The label material should slide easily

between the material guides.

7. Press the opener [6A] to raise the contact

rollers [6B]. Push the beginning of the

label material through underneath the con-

tact rollers and the print head.

8. Position the contact rollers while pressing

down the opener [7].

¯Both contact rollers should press down

the material symmetrically.

9. Peel labels off the backing paper for a

stretch of appr. 50cm [8].

10.Open the pressure roller lever [9A] by

pressing it downwards.

11.Pull the backing paper backwards under-

neath the printing module and insert it as

illustrated [9].

12.ALX925/926: Loosen the two thumb

screws [10B] at the spring-suspended

blocks. Position the spring-suspended

blocks [10A] in a way that the contact rolls

press symmetrically on the backing paper.

Retighten the thumb screws.

ALX924: Loosen the thumb screw [10B].

Position the spring-suspended block [10A]

in a way that the contact roll presses in the

middle on the backing paper. Retighten the

thumb screw.

13.Tighten the backing paper backwards and

close the lever [11].
