1. Getting Started

The Paxar 610 / 611 / 612 Care Label printers let you print text, graphics, and bar codes on thermal transfer (ribbon) fabric labels.

This chapter includes information about

♦ Unpacking the printer. ♦ Connecting the power cord. ♦ Connecting the communications cable. ♦ Using the printer's control panel.

Users Manual - 610 / 611 / 612 Printers 1. Getting Started • 1

Audience

The User’s Manual is for the person who prints and applies labels.

Unpacking the Printer

After you unpack the printer, you should have: a 610 / 611 / 612 printer, power cord, communication cable and a ribbon take-up core (may already be on take-up reel).

Keep the box and packaging material in case the printer ever needs repair.

Power cords are not supplied with 230-volt printers. You need to purchase a power cord separately. The power cord requires IEC 320 STD C13 end finish for the printer interface and it must meet requirements for 1.6 Amps at 115VAC and 1 Amp at 230VAC.

Shipping the Printer

If you need to ship the printer to a different location:

1. Remove the ribbon roll, if one is loaded.

2. Remove the supply roll, if one is loaded.

3. Close the printhead by pressing down on the thumb well until

you hear it click into place.

4. Place the printer in the original box and secure with packaging

material. Make sure the printer is adequately packed to avoid damage during shipment.

Connecting the Power Cable

To connect the power cable:

1. Plug the power cable into the socket. Plug the other

end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet.

2. Turn on the printer. Press ( I ) to turn on and ( O ) to

turn off the printer.

2 • 1. Getting Started Users Manual - 610 / 611 / 612 Printers

Establishing Communications

Before the printer can accept print jobs from the host, you must:

♦ Connect the communication cable to the printer and to the host. ♦ Set the communication values on the printer to match those at the host. (Only required if

you are using the serial port.)

Connecting the Communication Cable

Make sure the printer is off before connecting the cable to the communication port. Your printer is supplied with a parallel printer cable. You may optionally connect your printer to a serial port. To do this, you must purchase a serial interface cable compatible with your computer.

♦ Serial Communication

9 to 25 pin cable 25 to 25 pin cable

♦ Parallel Communication

IEEE-1284 or Centronics mode cable

See Chapter 4, "Communication Values," for more information.

Connect the communications cable to the appropriate port on your computer. If you are unsure where to connect the cable, consult your computer documentation.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use the cable

supplied with your printer. Paxar cannot be responsible for communications problems when a non-Paxar cable is used.

Connect the other end of the communication cable into the appropriate port on the printer. Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or spring clips (parallel).

The printer also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus) Version 1.1 communication port. Drivers are available on our Web site for a variety of operating systems.

Parallel Port

USB Port

Serial Port

Users Manual - 610 / 611 / 612 Printers 1. Getting Started • 3

Default Serial Port Communication Values

If you are communicating with the host through the serial port, make sure the printer's communication values match those at the host. The factory default values are: 9600-Baud, 8 bit data frame Word Length, 1 Stop Bit, no Parity, and XON / XOFF Flow Control.

To change the printer's communication values, ask your System Administrator or see Chapter 4, "Communication Values," for more information.

Default Printer Settings

These defaults can be changed using Paxar's PCMate software. Print Speed - 4.0 ips (inches per second), Ribbon - High Energy, Supply Type - Black Mark, Contrast - 225, Backfeed Disabled.

Using the Control Panel

The control panel has a two-line LCD display, 2 status lights, and five buttons. The control panel displays error codes / messages, and allows you to setup-configure the printer.

Printer Status Lights

Power: The printer shows a steady green light when

it is on.

Fault: The printer shows a blinking amber light when

there is a printer error.

2. Loading Supplies

This chapter describes how to load a roll of supply and a ribbon roll.

You can use Paxar's fabric label kits containing fabric labels and ribbon. If you switch from black mark to continuous supplies make sure the printer is set for the correct supply type.

Make sure you use only approved Paxar supplies. See Appendix A, "Specifications and Accessories" for a list of Paxar supplies or contact your Paxar Representative for more information.

If you experience label jamming with narrow supplies in humid environments, store supplies separately from the printer in a dry, less humid environment.

CAUTION

The width of the ribbon must be greater than the supply width. Since

some supplies are more abrasive to printheads than others, using a

ribbon wider than your supply helps protect the printhead. Failure to do

this may void your printhead warranty. Replacement printheads are

expensive.

IMPORTANT

6. Before threading the printer, you must set the label length adjustment. Turn the Label

Length Adjustment Knob (A) so that the pointer on the turn bar is lined up with the black bar on the Label Length Gauge that corresponds to the length of the label to be printed. This is an approximate adjustment. The procedure for performing an exact alignment is described in section "Printer Alignment – Top and Bottom Copy – 612".

7. Lay the label strip across the supply guide (B). It is not necessary at this point to put the

label strip in the guide. Lay the label strip across the platen roller (C) and thread the end of the strip into the gap between the platen roller and the auxiliary feed (D).

8. Reach under the platen roller and pull the label strip back towards the turn bar (F). Thread

the label strip under the guide roller (E) and around the turn bar (F) as shown below.

Users Manual - 610 / 611 / 612 Printers 2. Loading Supplies • 15

9. Bring the label strip over the guide roller and across the platen roller to the left of the strip

that is already around the roller. Place the end of the strip into the auxiliary feed and feed it through using the advance knob (G). Press the advance knob toward the printer to engage the advance shaft. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to feed the label strip. Continue feeding the label strip until it appears coming out of the cutter.

10. Insert the label strip into both sides of the supply guide. Adjust the supply guide by

moving the right guide in or out, depending on the stock width. The label strip should be in the guide slots on the inner edges of the strip and under the sensor at the back right of the guide. Adjust the supply guide so that it just matches the width of the inner strip. The outer strip will be slightly loose.

11. Push the black deflector tab down. Release the printhead latch, but do not lock the

printhead assembly down. Gently roll the supply roll back to tighten the label strip. Continue until the label strip is snug around the turn bar. Lock the printhead down.

Note: If the printer is not used for an extended period, the label stock may take a “set”

where it goes around the turnbar. After a period of not printing, it is recommended that you feed the material through the printer until the “set” material has gone through the knife. This will reduce the possibility of jamming.

6. Remove the new ribbon from the package as shown. Do not wrinkle or crush the new

ribbon.

CAUTION

Since some supplies are more abrasive to printheads than others, using a

ribbon wider than your supply helps protect the printhead. Failure to do

this may void your printhead warranty.

Adjusting the Wide / Narrow Knobs

You may need to adjust the two wide / narrow knobs according to the width of your supply. For supply that is more than two inches, adjust the knobs to the wide setting. For supply that is two inches or less, adjust the knobs to the narrow setting.

You must adjust both of the knobs to

the same position.

If you experience ribbon smudging in cold, dry environments, adjust the wide / narrow knobs to the wide setting.

For wide supplies, push down and turn the wide / narrow knobs clockwise with a screwdriver.

For narrow supplies, turn the wide / narrow knobs counter-clockwise with a screwdriver until it pops back up.

The adjustment is shown in the wide position.
