1. Open cover.
2. Turn levers (3, 10) counterclockwise to open the printhead (1) and the backfeed system (9).
3. Move guide rings (4) outwards until the media can pass between the rings and the mounting plate.
4.
Guide label strip (8) to the peel-off edge (2) as shown in the figure 8 and move to the mounting plate until it stops.
The printing side of the label must be shown from above.
5. For peel-off mode forward the label strip over the peel-off edge, that the strip reaches back to the locking system
(5). Remove the labels from the overhanging strip.
6. Turn levers (3, 10) clockwise to close the printhead (1) and the backfeed system (9).

4.3 Setting the Head Locking System
The printhead is pushed on via two plungers. The location of the outer plunger must be set to the width of the label medium used so as to
• achieve even print quality across the entire label width
• prevent wrinkles in the feed path of the transfer ribbon
• prevent premature wearing of the print roller and printhead.

5 Printing Operation
5.1 Printhead Protection
!
Attention!
Printhead damage caused by improper handling!
Do not touch the underside of the printhead with the fingers or sharp objects.
Ensure that the labels are clean.
Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
5.2 Synchronization of the Paper Feed
After the label stock has been inserted, for peel-off mode a synchronization of the paper feed is required. That way the first label, which is detected by the label sensor, will be transported to the print position and all labels in front will be fed out of the print module. So the synchronization avoids, that blank labels are peeled-off together with the first printed label. This can cause useless first label.
Press the feed key to start the synchronization.
Remove the blank labels peeled-off during the synchronization.
i
Notice!
Synchronization is not necessary if the printhead was not opened between different print jobs, even if the print module was switched off.
5.3 Printing
!
Attention!
To start the print operation two steps are necessary :
Send a print job via data interface or load a print job from a memory medium.
Programming Manual, Configuration Manual
Start a print cycle by sending external signals via I/O interface.
Interface Description
17
5.3.1 Peel-off Mode
In Peel-off mode, the labels are automatically peeled off the liner after printing and presented for removal.
!
Attention!
Activate the peel-off mode in the software.
This is done with the "P command" in the direct programming,
Programming Manual.
5.3.2 External Rewinding
The printed labels are leaving the print module at the peel-off edge and may be wound up externally with the liner for later use.
5.3.3 Ribbon Saving
If there is no information to print during a longer label feed, the printhead will be lifted, and the transfer ribbon will be paused from feeding. This will reduce the ribbon consumption. The minimum length for ribbon saving is defined in the firmware and depends on the print speed.
The ribbon saver can permanently be activated in the printer configuration ( Configuration Manual) or job-oriented by the software (
Programming Manual).
18
6 Cleaning
6.1 Cleaning Information
Danger!
Risk of death via electric shock!
Disconnect the print module from the power supply before performing any maintenance work.
The print module requires very little maintenance.
It is important to clean the thermal printhead regularly. This guarantees a consistently good printed image and plays a major part in preventing premature wear of the printhead.
Otherwise, the maintenance is limited to monthly cleaning of the device.
!
Attention!
The print module can be damaged by aggressive cleansers.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents for cleaning the external surfaces or modules.
Remove dust and paper fluff from the print area with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
The cover of the print module can be cleaned with a standard cleanser.
6.2 Cleaning the Rollers
Accumulations of dirt on the print and transport rollers may impair the media transport and the print quality.
Lift the printhead, open the transport systems.
Remove labels and transfer ribbon from the print module.
Remove deposits with roller cleaner (Part No. 9200051) and a soft cloth.
If a roller is badly soiled or appear damaged, replace it Service Manual.
6.3 Cleaning the Printhead
Cleaning intervals: direct thermal printing - every media roll change thermal transfer printing - every ribbon roll change
Substances may accumulate on the printhead during printing and adversely affect printing, e.g. differences in contrast or vertical stripes.
!
Attention!
Printhead can be damaged!
Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the printhead.
Do not touch protective glass layer of the printhead with fingers.
!
Attention!
Risk of injury from the hot printhead.
Ensure that the printhead has cooled down before starting cleaning.
Lift the printhead.
Remove labels and transfer ribbon from the printer.
Clean printhead surface with a cotton swab dipped in pure alcohol.
Allow printhead to dry for 2–3 minutes before commissioning the printer.
