Avery Dennison employee or representative will not be deemed to vary the terms of the warranty.
− Equipment and parts must be installed and operated according to recommended procedures and
operating conditions.
− Consumable elements are not covered. Consumable elements are those that show normal wear from
typical equipment usage including, without limitation, printheads, knives, rollers in contact with the web,
and sonic units. Avery Dennison reserves the right to determine which elements are defined as
“consumable.”
− No customer maintenance may be performed except as directed by qualified Avery Dennison personnel.

1. Operation
1.1 Theory of Operation
The LOKPRINT was designed to receive printed labels from a 636B, Dye
Sublimate the string of labels, and feed a Finishing Station for ultrasonic cutting.
The LOKPRINT is equipped with two heat controllers, one to control the
temperature of the heater platen and the other to monitor the previous controller for a
guaranteed sublimation temperature. The printer that will feed the LOKPRINT
will not operate until the heater platen comes to a temperature of 400 deg F (205 deg
C). The LOKPRINT is threaded in the “up” position. When the printer starts, the
fabric will drop down over the heater platen and begin sublimation. Likewise when
the machine comes to a stop, or there is a loss of power, the machine will lift the
fabric off the heater. This controlled operation leads to maximum label sublimation
and very little waste.
1.2 Description of Operation
1.2.1 Hands free operation
Once the LOKPRINT has been threaded, very little operator input is necessary.
The controllers monitor the temperature and designate the start, and the feed printer
designates the time of operation. Be sure to lower the Plexiglas cover before
operation to reduce the risk of burns.
1.2.2 Temperature Controller
Two digital heat controllers are located inside the front cover. The left hand
controller controls the heat for the heater platen, and the right hand controller
monitors the process, thus creating a safety factor to see that all labels have been
sublimated between 400 deg F (205 deg C) and 410 deg F (210 deg C).
The controllers are unique and can not be interchanged. They are custom
programmed differently for each side.

1.4 Set-up of the Machine
When initially installing the Machine, the following items must be accomplished:
- Locate the template under the feet on the right hand side of the printer, then lay the
feet of the LOKPRINT in the remaining holes, this provides the proper spacing
needed for operation.
- CHECK THE POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE FIRST. Check to make sure
the machine has been configured for the correct line voltage (see section 1.4.1
Main Fuse Configuration). If the power available is subject to power surges, a
surge suppresser must be placed in the incoming power line. The power
consumption is ~1000 watts. Connect the power cord to a grounded 115 or 230
volt AC electric outlet of sufficient power.

1.4.1 Main Fuse Configuration
Location of 115V Text
Location of 230V Text
Two 5 x 20MM Fuses One Each Side
The main fuse(s) on the LOKPRINT are located inside the AC power entry
receptacle. The entry has a fuse drawer that holds the fuse(s) and selects the
appropriate line voltage. If the number in the window DOES NOT match the AC
line intended to be supplied to the LOKPRINT, DO NOT plug the power cord in.
Reconfigure as follows:
1) Using a flat blade screwdriver, open the AC entry by lifting the tab just above the
voltage indicator window.
2) Remove the red fuse drawer.
3) Remove all fuses and the fuse jumper if it is present.
4) Insert into the fuse drawer the correct number and style of fuses and fuse jumper
for your application.
Configuration Number One: Line voltage between the range of
100 - 132 VAC @ 50 - 60Hz
1) Install one 921122 - 5.0A 250V TD 1/4 X 1 1/4 Fuse
2) Install one Fuse Jumper
See Figure FUSE1
Configuration Number Two: Line voltage between the range of
180 - 240VAC @ 50 - 60Hz
1) Install two 990688 - 2.5A 250V TD 5X20mm Fuses
NOTE: The fuse jumper must be removed to install both 5 x
The fuses must be between points A and B as shown not B and C.
See Figure FUSE2

1.5 Heater Caution and Care
1.5.1 Caution
The heater platen is pre-set to a temperature of 410 deg. F (210 deg C), extra care
and caution should be taken when threading the machine while the heaters are on.
Any maintenance or cleaning should be done after the machine has been turned off
and allowed time for cool down.
1.5.2. Care
The heater platen should be kept clean and smooth for proper label sublimation. If
the heater develops a build up, it should be cleaned using alcohol and a clean dry
cloth. The heater surface is anodized aluminum and can be cleaned with cleaning
pads similar to those used for cleaning Teflon® pans. If the buildup is excessive, a
razor blade may be used to remove the residue. Use caution to prevent damage to the
surface of the platen.
NOTE: Cleaning should only be done with the heaters off and cooled.

2. Troubleshooting
2.1 Troubleshooting Mechanical
2.1.1 Tape Contact
If the tape fails to make proper contact with the heater platen, stop the printer. This
will save on unsublimated labels. Check to see if the flag sensor is adjusted properly
to signal when the rollers are in the lowest possible position.
2.1.2 Tape Release
The Tape Rollers should release and swing to the “up” position when there is a halt
in the printing sequence or if the power has been cut from either machine. If the
Tape Rollers fail to bring the tape to the highest possible position, check to see if the
Lift Spring is in position. The spring may wear with excessive use. Remove the tape
from the rollers and test by holding down the Tape rollers and letting them rise up
into position.
2.1.3 Feed Roller
The Feed Rollers have two springs that supply even tension for tracking. If the
tracking of the tape fails, check to see if one of the springs may have come
unattached, and reattach. The feed rollers are also equipped with a hand knob used
to thread the machine. This knob should turn freely with very little resistance. If
resistance occurs, check to see if the bearings need to be greased. Also check to see
that the timing belt tension is not excessive.
2.2 Troubleshooting Electrical
2.2.1 Defective Heater Elements
If the heater elements are suspect, due to improper heating, the probable cause is
that one of the heaters is burned out. The heater connections can be found on the
terminal block in the back of the cabinet. A multimeter can be used to test the
heaters. Each heater should read 300 ohms or lower (depending on model), a
discontinuity means that the heater is burned out. (Refer to the schematic for correct
connections)
2.2.2 Defective Thermocouple
The thermocouple wire is defective when the heaters are overheating and the digital
read-out on the FUJI Temperature Controller is reading room temperature.
