Setting the Media
Installing the Media
1. Push the large blue-head open lever to release the head unit, and then lift the sensor arm by hand as shown below.

Large blue-head open lever
2. Firstly, slide the two black plastic parts of the media holder assembly together. Ensure correct alignment of the guide with the bar as it can only be installed in one direction.
When using the Paper Near End Sensor, sensor position settings should be performed. See “Setting the Paper Near
End Sensor” for how to perform the settings. (These settings are off when the product is shipped from the factory)
3. Slide the roll of media over the media bar. The media guide must be on the right side of the roll of media (as viewed from the front of the printer) with the ribbed surface of the media guide touching the media roll as shown in the illustration.

4. Set the media roll and media holder in to the printer as shown above. It is advisable to pull a length of media forwards and through the mechanism ready for later positioning. When lifting the media, use the handles on the media holder placed on either side.

5. Move the media roll so it is touching the leftside of the housing. Then slide the black media guide so it is touching the media on the right side.
Note:. Do.not.try.to.hold.the.media.too.tightly.with.these.guides.as.it.will.

Selecting the ribbon winding
Setting the Ribbon
The following kinds and sizes of ribbons can be used.
Types .............................................................Inside wound and outside wound ribbon
Max. ribbon width ....................................174.0 mm (6.85 inch)
Min. ribbon width ....................................50 mm (1.97 inch)
Max. ribbon length ..................................360.0 m (1,181 ft)
Max. roll diameter ....................................74.0 mm (2.90 inch)
Inner diameter of the paper core .......25.4 ± 0.25 mm (1.00 ± 0.01 inch)
Outer diameter of the paper core ......33.4 ± 0.5 mm (1.31 ± 0.02 inch)
Lead tape length ......................................Less than 80.0 mm
Setting method
1. Check the kind of ribbon used and set the ribbon winding direction using menu setup mode or operation panel. This is the method for installing an outside wound ribbon (also known as “ink out”).
Remember, the inked surface should be facing AWAY from the printhead surface!
2. Place the attached ribbon and paper core separately on one of the two attached ribbon holders. Insert the two ribbon holders into the ribbon and paper cores ensuring that they are pushed in all the way.

6. Set the ribbon holder on which the paper core has been set in the ribbon drive unit, then rotate it in the direction shown by the arrow to remove slack and wrinkles from the ribbon.
7. Push the head close knob to lower and lock the head unit.
Be sure to always push the head close knob to lock the head unit. If the ribbon is wrinkled, push the FEED key until the wrinkles disappear. If the wrinkles do not disappear or if it slips, perform ribbon balance adjustment and ribbon tension adjustment. See “Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments” for these adjustment methods.

Selecting the Ribbon Winding Direction
Besides the Menu Setup Mode, you can also select the ribbon winding direction (outside-wound / inside-wound) by using the keys on the
Operation Panel.
Outside-wound and inside-wound will switch from one to another each time you press the PAUSE key for 4 seconds or more while pressing the
MODE/REPEAT key when not printing.
If the outside-wound (also known as “ink out”) gets selected, the buzzer will sound 3 times, and CONDITION LED will flash.
If the inside-wound (also known as “ink in”) gets selected, the buzzer will sound 4 times, and CONDITION LED will flash.
When the lights go out on the CONDITION LED, selection is finalized.
Changes will remain in effect even after the power is turned off.
Note: The winding direction cannot be changed when printing.
Emulation Auto Detect: Cross-Emulation
TM
A different emulation will be detected when the Emulation Auto Detect of the System Setup is set to On or Full Auto. (Detects Zebra® when
Datamax® is selected, and Datamax® when Zebra® is selected.)
If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “On”
If the “Emulation Auto-Detect” is set to “On”, this will cause the
CONDITION LED to flash when it detects an alternative emulation. By selecting MODE/REPEAT KEY, the printer will restart and emulation will automatically make a switch. By selecting another KEY, detection will be canceled, and CONDITION LED will turn Off.
If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “Full Auto”
If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “Full Auto”, this will cause the printer to restart when it detects an alternative emulation, and emulation will automatically make a switch.

Manually Selecting the Printer Emulation
To manually choose between Datamax® and Zebra® emulations, you can use the VuePrint menu system. The Emulation Select option in the System
Setup menu allows you to do this.
Alternatively, you can use the “Quick Switch” option as follows:
1. Turn on the printer holding down PAUSE and FEED keys together.
The printer will beep three times and the CONDITION LED will flash.
2. Press FEED key once for Datamax® emulation.
3. Press FEED key two times for Zebra® emulation.
The printer beeps each time the feed key is pressed.
4. To save the new selection, press MODE/REPEAT key.
The printer will beep three times and then restarts.

Adjusting the Transparent sensor
1. Select the transparent sensor, and open the sensor arm.
2. Install only the liner media (label backing paper) with the label media removed so that it will pass between the platen roller and the media sensor. (Be careful that media with black marks does not pass the media sensor.) Then close the sensor arm and the printhead.

Adjusting the Ribbon
When.using.narrow-width.ribbons.or.very.specialist.thermal.ribbon.
material,.it.may.be.necessary.to.adjust.the.ribbon.tension.and.ribbon.
balance.adjustments.to.avoid.ribbon.wrinkle.or.slippage.

Ribbon Tension Adjustment
The.ribbon.tension.has.three.adjustment.positions.on.both.the.feeding.

Adjustment criteria
Ribbon width of 6 inches: strong
Ribbon width of 4 inches: medium
Ribbon width of 2 inches: weak
Strong
First.make.a.test.print.and.then.adjust.the.printer.as.required:
•. Slippage.of.the.ribbon.causes.a.dirty.film.to.be.seen.on.the.media.
. Reduce.the.tension.adjusters
•. Ribbon.wrinkle.(diagonal.lines.across.printout):..Increase.the.ribbon.
tension.
After.making.any.adjustments,.print.another.test.print.or.two.to.make.
sure.the.ribbon.is.feeding.correctly.

Adjusting the Ribbon
Ribbon Balance Adjustment
Do.this.adjustment.by.turning.the.front.and.back.balance.adjustment.
knobs..If.the.ribbon.is.wrinkled,.adjust.it.as.follows..The.scale.is.usually.
aligned.with.the.center.
Adjustment procedure
1. Check between the supply side ribbon and the back balance adjustment knob to find out on which side the ribbon is loose.
Checking which side is loose.
Case of looseness on the side opposite the adjustment knob
2. Turn the front adjustment knob to the right to remove the looseness, then make a test print to ensure that the ribbon is not wrinkled.
.
If.it.is.wrinkled,.turn.the.back.adjustment.knob.to.the.right.and.do.the.test.
printing.again.and.check.to.make.sure.that.the.ribbon.is.not.wrinkled.

provided,.and.use.a.soft.cloth.soaked.in.ethyl.alcohol.for.the.platen.etc.
It.is.particularly.important.to.clean.the.thermal.printhead.after.printing.on.
