Safety Warnings

Before connecting Bronco to a power outlet, check the voltage of the power source.

Bronco needs a power supply between 100 and 240 volts. Ensure that the power switch

on the printer is in the OFF position.

Only use the included power supply with the Bronco (rated for 24V/2.5A output,

model WDS060240). If a replacement is needed, please contact your DuraLabel

representative.

To avoid electrical shock, DO NOT pour any liquid onto the printer or printer parts.

Only qualified service personnel should attempt to repair the printer.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Avant de brancher Bronco à une prise de courant, vérifier la tension de la source

d’alimentation, et faire en sorte que le commutateur d’alimentation de l’imprimante est

en position OFF.

Utilisez uniquement le bloc d’alimentation fourni avec le Bronco (classé pour la sortie

24V / 2.5A, modèle WDS060240). Si un remplacement est nécessaire, s’il vous plaît

contactez votre Duralabel représentant.

Pour éviter un choc électrique, NE PAS verser de liquide sur les parties de l’imprimante

ou l’imprimante.

Seul le personnel d’entretien qualifié doit tenter de réparer l’imprimante.

1. Introduction

Congratulations! Now that you have your DuraLabel Bronco sign and label printer, you’ll

be creating custom labels in no time.

In addition to helping you set up and use Bronco, this User Guide will serve as a

reference document for maintaining the system, and for using its more advanced

features.

The included DuraSuite software helps you create labels in a variety of standardized

formats, such as GHS and HazCom 2012 labels, NFPA 704 (NFPA Diamond) chemical

labels, NFPA 70E arc flash labels, and ANSI/ASME A13.1 pipe markers and IIAR

ammonia pipe markers. For information on that software, see the DuraSuite User Guide.

Bronco also comes with LabelForge for creating completely customized label designs

from scratch, using a simple interface. LabelForge gives you the power to instantly

create linear and 2D barcodes, add standardized symbols or custom images, and even

import data from a spreadsheet. For information on that software, see the LabelForge

User Guide.

If you need supplies, or have questions about Bronco or the DuraSuite or LabelForge

software, give us a call at 800.788.5572 (or, internationally, at 1.503.644.5572) and

we’ll be happy to help.

REMINDER: Periodic cleaning is required for your printer’s operation, as adhesive

and dust will build up during use. Clean the print head, platen roller, and cutter

blades with a provided cleaning swab, or with isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth, after

every 2-3 rolls of supply. See section 7.1, Cleaning your Bronco,for details, or watch

instructional videos at GraphicProducts.com/support.

3. Loading Supplies

To open your Bronco and load supplies, start by raising Bronco’s lid, lifting at the front

edge, above the cutter opening. You can also gently pull the cutter mechanism forward

to lower it out of the way.

You need two supplies to print: the printing ribbon, or “ink,” and the label stock, or

“vinyl.”

3.1 Loading Ribbon

Ribbon comes in a roll, which fits underneath the print carriage. When printing, Bronco

will transfer colored resin from the ribbon onto your label stock, with the used ribbon

collecting on a take-up core above the print carriage for later disposal.

1. Start with an empty rewind core. Fit one end of

the core onto the green spring-loaded holder on

the top of the print head carriage. Then, fit the

other end of the ribbon core onto the wheeled

holder. Turn the take-up core or holder by hand,

until the tab on the holder locks into the notch in

the core.

2. Then, press the two green carriage release tabs.

The print head carriage will spring upward.

3. Hold the new roll of ribbon so the loose end falls

to the rear of the printer. Fit one end of the ribbon

core onto the green spring-loaded holder on the

underside of the print head carriage. Then, fit

the other end of the ribbon core onto the geared

holder. Turn the ribbon core by hand until the tab

on the holder locks into the notch in the core.

4. Pull the loose end of the ribbon up and around

the print head carriage and use a small piece

of label stock or tape to secure the end of the

ribbon to the top of the empty rewind core.

5. Pull the ribbon snug by turning the green take-up

wheel.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

3.2 Loading Label Stock

Fresh label stock comes in a roll with plastic end caps on each side. The material

typically has a glossy print surface on one side, and a disposable paper backing on the

other side. When printing, Bronco will feed some of the label stock from its roll and cut

off the printed label.

1. If you haven’t already done so, raise the print

head carriage by pressing the two green carriage

release tabs.

2. Place the roll of label stock onto the supply

spindle. For narrow rolls of label stock, use

the two fixing tabs to keep the supply roughly

centered.

3. With the label stock unrolling from the top of the

roll and feeding toward the print head carriage,

rest the supply spindle into its slots in your

Bronco.

4. Feed the end of the label supply under the print

carriage, threading it between and beneath the

green adjustable label guides, and over the top of

the rubber roller near the cutter module.

5. Slide the green adjustable label guides together

to keep the label stock centered, but not so tight

as to bend or wrinkle the label stock.

6. Close the print head carriage by pressing it down

into place, and then close Bronco’s lid.
