Section 1: Getting Started

THANK YOU…

...for choosing an FX400e Foil Imprinting System. The FX400e Foil

Imprinter adds brilliant, shiny metallic gold and silver highlights to

your inkjet-printed labels.

This User's Manual is your complete step-by-step guide to quickly

and easily setting up and printing with your new Foil Imprinting

System.

A. CHOOSING A GOOD LOCATION

•Place the printer on a flat surface in a location with adequate air

circulation to prevent internal heat build up.

•Do not place the printer near heat sources such as radiators or

air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust,

mechanical vibration or shock.

•Allow for adequate clearance in front of the printer to accommo-

date the printed label stock as it is leaving the printer to avoid

the possibility of binding or jamming of the label stock.

•Allow for adequate overhead clearance for opening the top

cover to allow easy access to the label stock and ribbons.
