About Your Smart Label Printer
The Smart Label Printer
®
from Seiko Instruments replaces the typewriter for many daily tasks. These compact printers with their integrated Smart Label software print high-quality, personalized labels—eliminating the need for handwritten or typewritten envelopes and ending the hassle of using your regular printer to print labels for envelopes, file folders, bar codes, ID badges and more.
The SLP is the best way of printing one-at-a-time labels instantly without the setup hassle and wasted labels experienced when making labels with a regular printer.
Direct thermal printing technology does not use ink, toner or ribbon, just labels. The SLP produces fast, laser-quality output on a variety of label sizes with the ability to print text, photo-like graphics, POSTNET codes and bar codes.
The Smart Label software features a WYSIWYG editor,
SmartCapture
™
and SmartCopy
™
to capture text and addresses right off your screen, built-in database, a
Windows print driver, and background printing. It uses
TrueType fonts and imports logos, graphics, and text files.
With the wide variety of available SmartLabels
™
, you can use your SLP to create labels for just about anything. Here are some examples:
■
■
■
■
Envelope labels
File folder labels
Name tags
Shipping labels
■
Bar code labels
■
Diskette labels
■
Rotary file cards
■
Videocassette labels
■

■
Binder labels
■

...and much more.

A Word About Labels
For best results we recommend the use of Seiko Instruments
SmartLabels. Other brands may not be engineered to provide optimum, trouble-free results with your SLP; they may not work with your printer or they may damage it and void your warranty. Be sure to look for the following Seiko
Instruments SmartLabels logo on the package when you buy labels.
SmartLabels are available in a wide variety of sizes and colors to properly label almost anything.
The SmartLabels have a sensor mark on the backing of each label that the SLP 120/220 uses for top of label alignment.
Check to be sure the labels have this mark before loading them into the SLP.
Sensor mark
Note... Older SmartLabels did not have this sensor mark. Be sure that the SLP 120 and 220 are listed as supported printers on the SmartLabels package.
Caring for Labels
The labels are sensitive to heat, moisture, and light. With this in mind:
■
Store labels in a cool, dry place.
■
Do not scratch or rub labels with a hard object.
■
Keep organic solvents away from labels.

Connecting the SLP to an IBM-compatible PC
Use the serial cable provided with the SLP 120/220 to connect the SLP to your computer. It has a telephone-style connector at one end and two computer connectors at the other end.
CAUTION: Connecting or disconnecting the interface cable while the printer is turned on may damage the printer.
Follow these steps:
1 Make sure that the SLP is turned off.
When the power is on, the status light on the front of the printer is lit.
2 Plug the telephone-style connector into the jack on the rear panel of the SLP.
3 Plug the other end of the cable — either the 9- or 25-pin connector as appropriate — into a serial port on your computer.

Overview
The SLP 120/220 uses advanced thermal print technology to provide crisp, high-contrast printing. There are no ribbons or cartridges to replace.
An important consideration... For best results we recommend the use of Seiko Instruments SmartLabels.
Other brands may not be engineered to provide optimum, trouble-free results with your SLP; they may not work with your printer or they may damage it and void your warranty.
Be sure to look for the Seiko Instruments SmartLabels logo when you buy labels.

Caring for Your Printer
Your SLP 120/220 is a high-precision device that’s designed for trouble-free operation. Just follow these few precautions:
■
Important… The SLP 120/220 is designed for use only with Seiko Instruments SmartLabels. Use of improper labels may damage the printer.
■
Don’t operate the printer in a dusty environment.
■
Keep the printer out of direct sunlight.
■
If you are printing more than one label at a time, guide the labels over the front of the label cover as they exit, making sure that they don’t curl under the cover and loop through and into the feed slot.

Changing a Label Roll
This procedure describes how to remove and replace label rolls.
■
You can load a different type of label at any time — you don’t have to wait until all of the labels have been used.
■
When you run out of labels, the green status light on the front of the SLP flashes. If printing is in process, a message appears telling you that the printer is out of labels.
Removing the Old Roll
CAUTION: DO NOT pull on the labels to remove them from the printer. This may cause labels to get stuck inside the printer.
1 Tear off any printed labels. If labels aren’t torn off, they may get jammed when you perform step 2.
2 Press and hold the form feed button. The labels will reverse out of the SLP.
Loading the New Roll

Removing Stuck Labels
If a label becomes stuck in your SLP, remove it as follows:
1 With a pair of scissors, cut the label stock between the label roll and the label slot at the back of the printer.
2 Remove the print engine cover by grasping it at the top and pulling the top toward you.
3 Release the pressure on the label stock by moving the platen release lever toward the rear of the printer.
4 Remove the stuck label by turning the platen knob counterclockwise.
5 If the label — or pieces of the label — stick to the platen, use a small amount of isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to dissolve the adhesive on the back of the label.
CAUTION: DO NOT touch the print engine. It may be hot.

User Guide B-1
slp120-2.bk Page 2 Friday, March 3, 2000 12:40 PM
Appendix B Commonly Asked Questions and Answers
Q Will my labels fade over time?
A Labels use a thermal-sensitive paper to create the image.
Heat applied to the paper causes a chemical reaction to generate black dots at the points where heat was applied. This technique avoids using messy inks and ribbons. Because the paper is heat-sensitive, it is possible for a label to darken if exposed to high heat or very bright light for an extended period of time. It is also possible for certain plasticizers in some plastic binders to cause a chemical reaction which results in the image fading over time. Placing another adhesive (perhaps another label) between the vinyl surface and the label may help minimize this type of fading.
In general, labels will last for years if they aren’t subjected to the above conditions. The label material is much more stable than Fax paper due to the special formulation and coatings used by Seiko Instruments.
Q How many labels can I save?
A The number of labels you can save is limited only by the amount of disk space in your computer.
Q I just bought an SLP 120/220, but there is no place to plug it into the back of my computer. What do I do?
A You need to install another serial port into your system.
The SLP connects to COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4.
You can use a switch box, but you may find it much more convenient—and less expensive—to have a serial board installed.
Q The only available place to plug the SLP cable into the back of my computer is the opposite type. Should I get a gender changer?
A This is likely to be your parallel port connector. The SLP requires a serial port, and cannot be connected to a parallel port without a special adapter available separately from Seiko Instruments. See “Replacement
Parts and Accessories” in Appendix D for ordering information.

Appendix B Commonly Asked Questions and Answers
Q Can I hook my SLP into my serial port and then hook a mouse or modem into the other connection at the end of the SLP cable?
A No. Only one of the two connectors on the SLP cable can be used. The cable was designed so that it could be used on either a 9-pin serial port or a 25-pin serial port connector.
The SLP is a serial device. Optimum installation mandates the use of a dedicated serial port. This means that nothing else in the computer is expected to use the same COM port or shared IRQ, for which the SLP is configured.
Unfortunately, if you install a new SLP on a serial port that has never been used before, that’s when you may learn of a malfunction with the serial port. If you can’t determine the cause of the problem, consult a qualified technician.
Another possible problem is that a serial device (such as a mouse, modem, tape backup card, scanner, home security system, network card, certain video card attachments, etc.) was previously installed on the computer without a check being made about which serial interrupts this new device uses. The new device might have been configured to use the same interrupts as the serial ports, causing a conflict. The solution for this problem is to have the new device board reconfigured to use only those interrupts that are available. A qualified technician may be needed to perform this task.

In no event shall Seiko Instruments USA Inc. be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, whether based on contract, tort, or any other legal theory.

Even though Seiko Instruments USA Inc. has tested the software and reviewed the documentation, Seiko Instruments
USA Inc. makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, with respect to software, its quality, performance, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
