AP5.4–AP5.6

Intended UseAP 5.4 and AP 5.6 printers are designed for printing label material, using the

thermal or thermal transfer printing process. In addition, the dispenser ver-

sions of both printer types can dispense self-adhesive labels and can rewind

the remaining backing paper (ar alternatively the complete label material). It is

possible to use a wide range of label materials and thermal transfer ribbons.

Label stock must be in roll shape or fan-folded. The label web can optionally

be pulled-in from outside theprinter through the slotsin therear side or bottom

plate.

Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded as abnormal use.

Avery Dennison assumes no liability for damage due to abnormal use of the

printer.

AP5.4–AP5.6

Device typesAP5.4 and AP5.6 are available in 4 versions:

Basic

AP5.4/5.6 equipped with serial, USB and Ethernet interface and SD-card slot.

Possible upgrade to „peripheral“ version.

The following options can be integrated:

•Reflex sensor (top and/or bottom)

•I/O board (signal interface and additional serial interface)

Peripheral

Like the AP5.4/5.6 basic, but with capability to add the following options:

•External rewinder (for AP5.4 only)

•Cutter

„Basic dispenser“ or „peripheral dispenser“

AP5.4/5.6 with additional built-in internal rewinder. In connection with an op-

tional dispensing edge, this printer can also be used as a dispenser. If the dis-

pensing edge is replaced by a deflection plate, the printed labels are not

dispensed, but rewound together with the backing paper.

AP5.4–AP5.6

Options

Internal Options

…should be factory-fitted or installed by a service engineer:

•Reflex Sensor Kit: Light barrier fitting that apart from the transmission sen-

sor, also contains a reflex sensor.

•Label sensor for short labels. Recommended for label length < 30mm.

•Internal rewinder kit: To retrofit the internal rewinder; contains the rewinder

as well as the driver board and material guide

•I/O board: RS-422/485 interface, signal interface

External Options

…do not require any special alterations to the printer:

•Cutter (required printer: AP5.4/5.6 peripheral)

•AP5.4 only: (External) rewinder for material rolls with 38mm (1.5”), 75mm

(3”) or 100mm (4”) cores (required printer: AP5.4 peripheral)

•Keyboard for standalone operation

•Foot switch for foot-operated label dispensing

•Dispensing edge (required printer: AP5.4/5.6 „basic“ or „peripheral“ with

internal rewinder)

EPrint roller

The label printers AP5.4 and AP5.6 only differ in the print width. The function-

ality is the same for both printers.

The printing principle is based on the thermal printhead [1A]. The core piece

of the printhead, the thermal edge, consists of a row of dot elements, which

can be controlled and heated separately. Each heated dot element leaves a

black dot on the label material.

With thermo printing, the black dot results from the reaction of the thermosen-

sitive label material. With thermo transfer printing, the black colour is trans-

ferred from the thermotransfer foil to the label material.

In order to add the dot lines to an image, the label material has to be passed

underneath the printhead during printing. This material feeding is accom-

plished by the print roller [1E], which is motor driven. By moving the label ma-

terial, it is unwound from the label roll [1C].

Whenusingthermotransferprinting,thethermotransferfoilis fed together with

the label material underneath the printhead. The foil position is between label

materialandprinthead,thecoloursidefacing thelabelmaterial.Thefullfoilroll

is plugged on the foil unwinder [1B]. After passing the printhead, the used foil

is wound onto the foil rewinder [1C], which ismotor driven. If the foil roll is com-

pletely rewound, a new roll has to be inserted.

Material end and foilend are detectedby sensors and are displayed on the op-

eration panel (optionally by a sound signal).

AP5.4–AP5.6

The label beginning is detected by a light transmission sensor with punched

label material and by a reflex sensor (option) with endless material.

AP5.4/5.6 dispenser

The AP5.4/5.6 dispenser allows freshly printed labels tobe dispensed (via the

dispensing edge) or rewound in the printer enclosure (via the defelector).

•When used as a dispenser, the label material is drawn around the dispens-

ing edge and only the backing paper is rewound.

•When used as a rewinder, the printed label is guided across a baffle plate

and rewound together with the backing paper.

The electronic components in the rewinder control the tensile force on the re-

lease paper so that the same force is applied for all winding diameters. This is

controlled independently of the material width and printing speed. The control-

ler can be set automatically or manually depending on the settings in the pa-

rameter menu.

¯The manual setting is only necessary in special cases and may only be per-

formed by qualified, authorised service personnel.

After switching on the printer, the rewinder is initialised and the backing paper

is tightened.

Onceaprintjobisreceived,theprintersearchesforthe first labelstartmarking

at reduced printing speed. To do this, the label material is moved by at least

the distance between the label sensor and the printhead (70mm). This dis-

tance is used by the rewinder controller to calculate the diameter of the previ-

ously wound backing paper. To allow the controller to calculate the diameter

even with endless material, in this case printing also does not start until the

material has moved 70mm. The print job is carried out at the speed that has

been set in the parameter menu or as specified by the print job.

If a fault occurs during operation, the rewinder shuts off automatically.

Once the maximum diameter of the backing paper has been reached, a mes-

sage appears on the display and the rewinder shuts off automatically.

Dispenser operating

modes The following operating modes are available for the dispenser:

•Dispenser mode with dispenser sensor:

The material feed ends at the dispensing edge, i.e., the label to be dis-

pensed remains hanging on the dispensing edge(setdispensingposition).

The printer waits until the label is removed before moving the next empty

label beneath the printhead and then printing and dispensing it.

•Dispenser mode with foot switch:

Pressing the foot switch releases the label for printing and dispensing. Af-

terwards, the next empty label is positioned beneath the printhead.

See topic section (De)activating the dispensing edge , page 9.
