Getting Started 1
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.
