CAUTION!

1. Be careful not to touch the Print Head Element when raising the Print Head Block. Failure to

do this may cause missing dots by static electricity or other print quality problems.

2. When loading or replacing the media or a ribbon, be careful not to damage the print head with

a hard object like a watch or a ring.

Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please treat it carefully and do

not hit it with any hard object.

3. Loading the Supplies

3.1 Loading the Media

The following procedure shows the steps to properly load the media into the printer so that it feeds

straight and true through the printer.

The printer prints both labels and tags.

1. Turn the Head Lever to Free position, then release the Ribbon Shaft Holder Plate.

2. Open the Print Head Block.

1. Do not touch any moving parts. To reduce the risk of fingers, jewellery, clothing, etc., being

drawn into the moving parts, be sure to load the media once the printer has stopped moving

completely.

2. The Print Head becomes hot immediately after printing. Allow it to cool before loading the

media.

3. To avoid injury, be careful not to trap your fingers while opening or closing the cover.

Care must be taken not to allow

the metal or glass part of a watch

to touch the print head edge.

Precautions for use of supplies

The max print speed ensuring the print quality differs depending on the combination of media and ribbon.

Please change the print tone or print energy setting according to the media or ribbon to be used.

Especially when printing serial bar codes, the bar-to-space ratio needs to be changed depending on the print

speed.

For details, please refer to the Supply Sp

ecification.

4. Put the media on the Paper Holder.

5. Pass the media around the Paper Holder, and then pull the media towards the front of the

printer.

6. Push the Paper Guide against the media until the media is held firmly in place. To lock the

Media, shift the Paper Guide R to vertical position.

7. Place the media between the Media Guides, adjust the Media Guides to the media width, and

shift the Paper Guide R to vertical position to tighten.

NOTES:

1. When the Head Lever is turned to FREE position, the Print Head is raised.

2. To enable printing the Head Lever must be set to the LABEL / TAG position. (This ensures that the

Print Head is closed.)

Loading with peel off module

When the optional Peel-off Module is fitted, the backing paper is automatically removed from the

label at the Strip Plate as each label is printed.

(1) Remove enough labels from the leading edge of the media to leave 500mm of backing paper

free.

(2) Insert the backing paper under the Strip Plate.

(3) Wind the backing paper onto the Take-up Spool and fix it in position with the Take-up Clip.

(Wind the paper counterclockwise around the spool as this is the direction it rotates.)

(4) Rotate the Take-up Spool counter-clockwise a few times to remove any slack in the backing

paper.

(5) Set the Selection Switch mounted on the Rewinder Assembly to STANDARD/PEEL OFF

position.

Loading with cutter

When the optional Cutter Module is fitted, the

media is automatically cut. A disc cutter is

available as an option. Insert the leading edge

of the media into the cutter until it comes out

the Media Outlet of the Cutter Module.

3.2 Loading the Ribbon

There are two types of media available for printing on: these are thermal transfer media and direct

thermal media (a chemically treated surface). DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using a direct thermal

media.

1. Grasp the tabs on the top and bottom of the Ribbon Stoppers and move the Ribbon Stoppers

back to the end of the Ribbon Shaft.

NOTES:

1. When attaching the ribbon stoppers, make sure that the pinchers face into the printer.

2. Be sure to remove any slack in the ribbon when printing. Printing with a wrinkled ribbon will lower the

print quality.

3. The Ribbon Sensor is mounted on the rear of the Print Head Block to detect a ribbon end. When a ribbon

end is detected, “NO RIBBON” message will appear on the display and the ERROR LED will illuminate.

WARNING!

The cutter is sharp, so care must be taken not to injure yourself when handling the cutter.

CAUTION!

1. Be sure to cut the backing paper of the label. Cutting labels will cause the glue to stick to the

cutter which may affect the cutter quality and shorten the cutter life.

2. Use of tag paper when the thickness exceeds the specified value may affect the cutter life.

NOTES:

1. Be sure to set the Selection Switch to STANDARD/PEEL OFF position.

2. The backing paper is easier to feed back to the Take-Up Spool if the Front Plate is removed.

3. Fit the Take-Up Clip so that the longer side of the clip is fitted into the shallow groove in the Take-Up

Spool.

4. The backing paper can be wound directly onto the Take-up Spool or a paper core.

2. Leaving plenty of slack between the ribbon spools, place the ribbon onto the Ribbon Shafts as

shown below. There are 2 possible ways to load the ribbon.

3. Slide the Ribbon Stoppers along the Ribbon Shafts to a position where the ribbon is centred

when fitted.

4. Lower the Print Head Block and set the Ribbon Shaft Holder Plate aligning its holes with the

Ribbon Shafts.

5. Take up any slack in the ribbon. Wind the leading tape onto the ribbon take-up roll until the ink

ribbon can be seen from the front of the printer.

6. Turn the Head Lever to Lock position to close the Print Head.

7. Close the Top Cover.
