7 Printing

7.1 Synchronization

The printer is ready for operation when all connections have been made, the labels and, if necessary the

transfer ribbon, have been loaded and the printhead is locked. For details on printer configuration, see

the “Configuration Instructions A2

“.

After loading the label medium, synchronization is necessary. During synchronization, the printer auto-

matically determines the length of the loaded labels and sets label advancement accordingly.

1. Press the feed button to start synchronization.

2. Remove empty labels after synchronization.

The printer is synchronized with the loaded label medium.

7.2 Tear-Off mode

In Tear-Off mode, labels or continuous media are printed. After printing, the label strip is separated by

hand. The label printer is equipped with a tear-off plate for this.

Optionally, the label can be cut off or label strips can be wound up externally.

7.3 Peel-Off mode

In Peel-Off mode, the labels are automatically peeled off the carrier medium after printing and presented

for removal. The label printer is equipped with a dispense plate and one of the following accessory

devices for this: peel-off sensor (PS6 or PS8), peel-off adapter (PS5) or applicator (A1000). The carrier

medium is wound up inside the printer.

7.4 Internal rewinding

The labels are wound up internally after printing with the carrier medium for later use. The label printer

is equipped with a rewind guide plate for this.

CAUTION!

The printhead can be damaged if handled improperly!

 Do not touch the bottom of the printhead with your fingers or sharp objects.

 Ensure that the labels are clean.

 Ensure smooth label surfaces. Raw labels are like emery and reduce the service life of the

printhead.

 Print at the lowest possible printhead temperature.

Synchronization is not necessary if the printhead was not opened between different print jobs, even if

the printer was switched off.
