Chapter 5 General Operation

This section provides an overview of the Wraptor operation process.

5.1 Creating, printing and wrapping labels

The Wraptor works in conjunction with your computer and software applications included with the unit.

The process flow is as follows:

On your computer:

1. Design labels on your computer using Brady’s LabelMark software.

2. Print your completed labels to the Wraptor printer with the Print command.

On the Wraptor printer:

1. Open the print file you want to work with on the Wraptor Control Panel’s File tab.

2. Physically insert a cable/wire into the Wraptor jaws to print/wrap or wrap a label.

WARNING: The wrapper mechanism contains

HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS

KEEP FINGERS AND OTHER BODY PARTS AWAY

NOTE: Be sure to hold the wire straight and tight during the wrapping process.

CAUTION: The maximum wire diameter that can be used in Wraptor TM,

INCLUDING the wire's outer jacket, is 0.600". Exceeding this diameter will jam and potentially damage the machine. If a wire diameter less than 0.060" (including wire jacket) is used, the label will not wrap successfully.

30 Wraptor™ User’s Guide

Please heed the following tips as not doing so may effect the quality of your wrap:

♦ Make sure to hold the wires tight and straight during wrapping. Kinked or curved wire may cause spiraling or bubbling.

♦ Make sure to use the correct size label for the wire you intend to wrap.

♦ Do not use wire jackets with greasy coatings or the label will not wrap properly.

♦ Inspect the peel plate area—especially below—to ensure there are no stuck labels.

♦ Clean rollers to ensure that there is no adhesive build-up. See Cleaning on page 57 of this guide for

cleaning and maintenance recommendations.

Adjustment for Wire Bundles

You will sometimes (not always) need to adjust the wrapper for wire bundles. This will most likely be necessary when the bundle contains large wires. To do this:

1. Press the Load Labels button on the Setup tab menu. This shuttles the printer to the “shuttle-back” position.

2. Power off and unplug the Wraptor.

WARNING: You must power off and unplug the Wraptor prior to performing any cleaning or maintenance!

3. Open the front (clear) door on the Wraptor.

4. Unscrew the #8-32 socket head cap screw as necessary to retract the roller enough to accommodate the wire bundle.

5. Close the front door.

6. Wrap the large wire bundles.

CAUTION: You must re-screw the #8-32 socket head cap screw to bring the roller back out before attempting to wrap other wires. The roller must be brought back out completely in order run in normal operating mode.

Failure to do so will compromise wrap quality.

Wraptor™ User’s Guide 31

When you “print” your labels to the Wraptor, the computer creates a print file:

ƒ Print files are saved with the LabelMark file name and a PRN extension.

ƒ The PRN file contains all the information necessary to print your labels.

ƒ PRN files can be stored in the Wraptor’s internal memory, on your computer’s hard drive or on the Wraptor’s CompactFlash Memory Card.

ƒ The Wraptor unit does not immediately print the labels, you must select the print file on the

Wraptor Control Panel before performing the printing and wrapping processes.

If your computer is connected to the Wraptor with a Serial, USB, or Ethernet (TCP) connection, “printing” sends the print file directly to the Wraptor unit.

If your computer is not connected to the Wraptor, you can print your labels to a file on the computer and then transfer it to a CompactFlash Memory Card with the File Management Utility.

5.1.3 Managing print files

Wraptor can keep approximately 30 print files in its internal memory depending on the label file size.

Use the File Management Utility to:

„

Move print files between the computer, the Wraptor and CompactFlash Memory Cards.

„

Delete print files you no longer need.

5.2 Using the Touch Screen

The Wraptor includes a touch screen that you use to control the unit. Touch the screen with your finger to make a selection from the menus.

NOTE: Do not use a writing pen or other sharp object. Doing so may mar the touch screen surface.

NOTE: If you are having difficulty selecting items on the touch screen,
