 10. Lower the Print Head Block.  
11. Once the media is loaded it may be necessary to set the Media 
Sensors used to detect the start position for label or tag. 
 
Setting the Feed Gap Sensor position
 
(1)  Manually move the Media Sensor so that the Feed Gap Sensor is 
positioned at the centre of the labels. (z indicates the position of the 
Feed Gap Sensor). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Setting the Black Mark Sensor position
 
(1)  Pull about 500 mm of media out of the front of the printer, turn the 
media back on itself and feed it under the Print Head past the sensor 
so that the black mark can be seen from above.  
(2)  Manually move the Media Sensor so that the Black Mark Sensor is 
in line with the centre of the black mark on the media.  („ indicates 
the position of the Black Mark Sensor). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 NOTE: 
Be sure to set the black mark 
sensor to detect the centre of the 
black mark, otherwise a paper 
jam or no paper error may occur.

 12. Batch mode 
In batch mode, the media is continuously printed until the number of 
labels/tags specified in the issue command has been printed.  
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
13. Loading with peel off module
 
When the optional Strip Module is fitted, the label is automatically 
removed from the backing paper at the Strip Plate as each label is 
printed.  
 
(1)  Remove enough labels from the leading edge of the media to leave 
500mm of backing paper free.  
(2)  Insert the backing paper under the Strip Plate. 
(3)  Wind the backing paper onto the Take-up Spool and fix it in position 
with the Take-up Clip.  (Wind the paper counter-clockwise around 
the spool.) 
(4)  Rotate the Take-up Spool counter-clockwise a few times to remove 
any slack in the backing paper.  
(5)  Set the Selection Switch mounted on the Rewinder Assembly to 
STANDARD/PEEL OFF position. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES: 
1.  Be sure to set the Selection 
Switch to STANDARD/ 
PEEL OFF position. 
2.  The backing paper is easier 
to feed back to the Take-Up 
Spool if the Front Plate is 
removed.  
3.  Fit the Take-Up Clip so that 
the longer side of the clip is 
fitted into the shallow groove 
in the Take-Up Spool.   
4.  The backing paper can be 
wound directly onto the 
Take-up Spool or a paper 
core.

 14. Loading with cutter 
When the optional Cutter Module is fitted, the media is 
automatically cut.  A disc cutter is available as option. 
Insert the leading edge of the media into the cutter until it comes out 
the Media Outlet of the Cutter Module. 
 
 
CAUTION! 
1.  Be sure to cut the backing 
paper of the label.  Cutting 
labels will cause the glue to 
stick to the cutter which 
may affect the cutter quality 
and shorten the cutter life.  
2.  Use of tag paper when the 
thickness exceeds the 
specified value may affect 
the cutter life.  
WARNING! 
The cutter is sharp, so care 
must be taken not to injure 
yourself when handling the 
cutter.

2.3.2  Loading the Ribbon  
 
 
 
 There are two types of media available for printing on: thermal 
transfer and direct thermal (which has a chemically treated 
surface).  DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using direct thermal 
media. 
 
1. Grasp the tabs on the top and bottom of the Ribbon Stoppers 
and move the Ribbon Stoppers back to the end of the Ribbon 
Shaft. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Leaving plenty of slack between the ribbon spools, place the 
ribbon onto the Ribbon Shafts as shown below.  
There are 2 
possible ways to load the ribbon.
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE: 
To check or change settings on which type of Ribbon winding to be 
used, you must go to SYSTEM Mode in the Printer. For more details 
refer to Key Operation Specification, “8.4.1 PRINTER SET”. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES: 
1.  When attaching the ribbon 
stoppers, make sure that 
the pinchers face into the 
printer 
2.  Be sure to remove any 
slack in the ribbon before 
printing.  Printing with a 
wrinkled ribbon will reduce 
the print quality.  
3.  The Ribbon Sensor is 
mounted on the rear of the 
Print Head Block to detect 
a ribbon end.  When a 
ribbon end is detected a 
“NO RIBBON” message will 
appear on the display and 
the ERROR LED will 
illuminate.

4. Lower the Print Head Block and set the Ribbon Shaft Holder 
Plate aligning its holes with the Ribbon Shafts. 
 
5. Take up any slack in the ribbon. Wind the leading tape onto the 
ribbon take-up roll until the ink ribbon can be seen from the 
front of the printer.

2.4 Connecting the 
Cables to Your 
Printer 
 
 The following paragraphs outline how to connect the cables from 
the printer to your host computer, and will also show how to 
make cable connections to other devices.  Depending on the 
application software you use to print labels, there are 5 ways to 
connect the printer to your host computer.  These are: 
•  An Ethernet connection using the printer’s standard LAN 
connector.  
•  A USB cable connection between the printer’s standard USB 
connector and your host computer’s USB port. (Conforming 
to USB 2.0) 
•  A serial cable connection between the printer’s optional RS-
232 serial connector and one of your host computer’s COM 
ports.   
•  A parallel cable connection between the printer’s optional 
parallel connector and your host computer’s parallel port 
(LPT). 
•  Wireless LAN using an optional Wireless LAN board.   
For details, refer to APPENDIX 2.

Display and that the ON LINE and POWER LED lights are 
illuminated.  
 
 
 
1. Before turning off the printer Power Switch verify that the ON 
LINE message appears in the LCD Message Display and that 
the ON LINE LED light is on and is not flashing. 
2.  To turn OFF the printer power press the Power Switch as 
shown in the diagram below.  Note that ({) is the power OFF 
side of the switch. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 CAUTION! 
Use the power switch to turn 
the printer On/Off.  Plugging 
or unplugging the Power Cord 
to turn the printer On/Off may 
cause fire, an electric shock, 
or damage to the printer.  
NOTE: 
If a message other than ON 
LINE appears on the display 
or the ERROR LED lamp is 
illuminated, refer to Section 
5.1, Error Messages.

CAUTION! 
1.  Do not turn off the printer 
power while the media is 
being printed, as this may 
cause a paper jam or 
damage to the printer.
