Insertion of Transfer Ribbon
Printers equipped with the option „Transfer Device“, feature a wind off / wind on mechanism positioned
above the printer upper section (see diagram on previous page).
1. Push transfer ribbon reel onto winding device below operator panel.
2. Centre reel to print head.
3. Guide ribbon according to diagram on previous page below the opened printer device upper.
4. Wind transfer ribbon round rewinding device.
5. Insert clamp strap into the groove and hole.
6. Turn the rewinding device one full circle clockwise and thus tension the transfer ribbon.
7. Hinge printer device down and secure again.
Notice
: The shiny side of the ribbon must point towards the thermal print head. The somewhat more dull
side is the colour layer, which must point towards the paper.
Synchronization
Recognition of label start is effected via scan-through light barrier and
requests synchronization marks between the labels. The synchronous
light barrier has a clearance A = 5 mm from the edge of the paper.
Therefore the depth (D) of the synchronization mark should be at least
6 mm from the left paper edge in order to have an edge radius (R) of
less than 3 mm. The width (W) has to be at least 1.5 mm. Label
distances or printed synchronization marks could also be recognized if
the sensor had been adjusted accordingly.

2. Put paper into the printer.
3. Go to menu Printer Infos / Labels

The menu will be exited and the label will be printed, at the same time a black shape appears on the
LCD left of the "1" (in accordance to the set macro).
