1.0 Introduction
AVERY DENNISON has designed the SNAPTM700 printer for ease of installation, simple operation, low cost of ownership, and dependability. The SNAP 700 printer is capable of printing two-sided brand/care labels at a rate of up to 12 inches (305mm) per second. Your SNAP 700 printer allows for quick change- outs of inks, stock, and label sizes, providing the versatility required to meet most brand/care labeling needs. Finally, the SNAP 700 printer supports various options including RFID.
This manual guides the printer operator as an easy-to-use, quick-reference guide. It contains procedures for receiving, handling, set-up, installation, operation, and maintenance of the SNAP 700 printer.
Please read this section of the manual to familiarize yourself with the printer and to guide you through the initial receiving and set-up of your new SNAP 700 printer. Throughout this manual, a system of NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS identify key information to ensure your personal safety and to proper printer operation. Please review these carefully.
We also strongly suggest that you watch the 17-minute training video, which is available on the D2Comm web site. Refer to the documentation included with the printer for more details.
NOTES call attention to information that is especially significant to understanding and operating the equipment.
CAUTION notices inform you of actions or situations in which the printer might be damaged.
WARNING notices describe situations in which lack of attention or insufficient equipment knowledge could cause either personal injury or damage to the printer.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Preparing for the installation
2.1.1 AC Power Line
NOTE: AVERY DENNISON requires that the minimum electrical service be 10 Amps @ 115VAC or 6 Amps @ 230VAC. This will allow you to plug the SNAP 700 printer, PC, and any additional support or service equipment into the same service. We highly recommend that the printer and its accessories be on a dedicated circuit.
The electrical service supplying power to the SNAP 700 printer or to peripheral equipment connected to the SNAP 700 printer should meet standard electrical code practices, including proper grounding and neutrals.
2.1.2 Location Considerations
The SNAP 700 printer weighs 60 pounds (27.2 Kg) and requires a table of sufficient quality and strength to handle this load. The printer requires an area of approximately 72" wide x 30" deep x 32" high (1.8 m x 76 cm x 81 cm). The host PC (if used) and any printer options will increase the required area. AVERY DENNISON recommends using an industrial type worktable. Refer to Figure 1 below.
The SNAP 700 printer is designed for easy operator accessibility to the printer controls and components. Select your SNAP 700 printer’s location to meet the following criteria:
1. Physical demands on the operator will dictate proper height of the table
supporting the printer. Ensure the operator has comfortable access to the printer. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Allow enough space for smooth flow of materials that the operator will
load on the printer as well as space for processing the finished product from the printer.
3. While AVERY DENNISON has designed the printer to be reasonably
quiet, select an area where repetitious noise from printing and cutting processes is acceptable.
CAUTION: Each customer must take responsibility to ensure the workstation created for the SNAP 500 printer meets the recommended requirements to ensure optimal operation of the printer.

3.0 Operation
3.1 Loading Supplies
Your SNAP 700 printer is designed with upper and optional lower ink supply stations. . The ink supply station setup is dictated by the option of the printer your ordered. There is no way to change this setup at your location.
The ink arbors have a self-center guide to locate the roll of ink to ensure smooth tracking through the machine.
The ink cores have splines on their inside surfaces. These splines align with the grooves in the ink arbors. Splines allow the printer to control the tension of the ink ribbon during printing, minimizing wrinkling and optimizing print quality.
NOTE: Only use the white plastic cores on the SNAP printers. If you have a black plastic core they are design for the Avery Dennison 9800 series printers.
3.1.1 Installing Ink to the Top Ink Supply Station
1. Install an empty ink core on the upper ink rewind arbor. It is important that
the core be the same width or wider as the core of the ink being used.
NOTE: The empty ink core should be the same width as the ink supply roll.
a. Rotate the core slightly to align the splines and grooves on the arbor.
Slide it gently onto the arbor until it contacts the back core stop.
b. If the front core locator is not exposed turn the black knob on the end
of the arbor counterclockwise to bring it past the end of the core. To clamp the core rotate the black knob clockwise to center the core on the arbor. See Figure 7.
CAUTION: Do Not over tighten the core locators. Little to no pressure is needed to keep the core centered. Over tightening can damage the plastic stops.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the print head, the ink supply roll should be ¼ inch (6 mm) wider than the stock.

NOTE: The ink system is designed to rewind one roll of ink at a time. When the rewind core is full, replace it with an empty ink core. Do not try to add a second roll to the first rewind core, since it will not track through the printer correctly and will result in poor print quality.
2. Remove the plastic packaging around the roll of ink and install it on the ink
supply arbor. Ensure that the leading edge is pointing toward the Stock Arbor.
NOTE: For best results, leave the ink roll wrapped in plastic until you are ready to use it in the printer.
3. Open the print roller (See Figure 8).
4. Pull the ink down and to the right, beneath the turn bar, between the upper
print roller and the upper print station, toward the stacker side of the upper ink rewind arbor.

4. Fasten the ink supply to the rewind core.
a. If you are using a new roll of ink, the leader you are advancing
through the machine already has adhesive on it. Press the leader onto the rewind core until it sticks to the core.
b. If you are installing a partially used roll of ink, you must first attach a
small piece of tape to the leading end of the ink roll. Then, tape the end to the ink on the rewind core.
5. Wind the core for several turns to make sure the ink tracks flat as it is pulled
through the printer.
6. To remove an ink core from the arbor, turn the black knob at the end of the
ink arbor counterclockwise and slide the core from the arbor. Save the empty core to be used as the next rewind core.

3.1.2 Installing Ink to the Bottom Ink Supply Station
Installing Ink on the Bottom Print Station is done in the same way as the Top Print Station, except that the ink runs up over the Turn bar, across the print head to the rewind arbor.
3.1.3 Loading the Stock
Before loading a roll of stock, you will need to be familiar with the following parts of the SNAP 700 printer (Refer to Figures 9 and 10).
The Stock Arbor is designed to clamp the core of the stock supply rolls to hold them in place during printing operations. This function provides back tension which helps keep the stock straight while it moves to the center of the print head. By rotating the stock arbor knob, you can adjust for roll widths ranging in size from ½ inch to 5 inches (12.7 mm to 127 mm). This helps keep the stock straight while it moves to the center of the print head. To function properly, the stock roll must be wound firmly and centered on the core with no telescoping of the roll. There are no other adjustments to the stock arbor.
The Stock (Web) Guide is located between the Stock Arbor and Sensor Module Station to guides the stock through the machine toward the center of the print head. The black knob located at the end of the web guide controls the width of the guides. Turning the knob clockwise will widen the web guides, while counterclockwise turns will narrow the web guides.
The Upper and Lower Print Stations on the SNAP 700 printer are stationary. The rollers swing open and closed for threading and printing. These rollers are held in position for printing with latches on both the inside and outside end of the rollers.
NOTE: If you are printing two-sided labels, both print rollers must be closed in order for the printer to operate. If a two-sided label design is sent to the printer and the lower print roller is open, the Error LED will light up and the printer will stop. If you are printing single-sided labels, the lower print roller should remain open so the ink rolls will not rotate.
The Stock Feed is the assembly located in front of the knife. The Feed has a knob, which is used to manually advance the material through the knife, the nip roller, and into the stacker. (See figure 10)
New rolls of Supply Stock are sealed and packaged individually. When you are ready to load the stock, remove the packaging and follow the steps below.
1. Remove the tape holding the end of the supply stock to the outer part of the

roll. To avoid damaging the rollers or print heads, use scissors to cut off any portion of the supply stock that has adhesive on it.
2. Rotate the unwind knob clockwise to retract the “fingers”. Open the
assembly so the back locator hub and front locking fingers are wider that the material.
3. To install the stock supply roll, begin with the leading end at the top of the
roll pulling off towards the stacker.
4. Slide the stock roll onto the Stock Arbor (see Figure 9).
5. Rotate the Stock Arbor knob counter-clockwise quickly to extend the fingers
that hold the supply roll in place.
6. With all print rollers in the open position, pull the stock from the top of the
supply roll, and over the Decurler Roller.
Figure 9. Stock Supply through Print Stations
7. Pull the roll of stock to the right of the Stock (web) guides.
8. Feed the web between the two plates that support the registration sensors
9. Continue threading the stock between the print rollers and through the feed.
10. Rotate the black knob on the feed counter-clockwise and advance the stock
through the knife and nip rollers and into the stacker (until it extends about ½ inch or 10 mm - 15 mm from the rollers).
11. If the stock will not advance through the knife, refer to Section 5.4.2, Knife
Home Position Adjustment.

3.1.4 Butt Splice
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print head, do not use butt splices.
The SNAP 700 printer is designed to allow for fast, frequent changing and loading of stock and ink. We recommend re-threading the stock rather than to using a butt splice. If you determine that splicing is faster for threading, tape the ends of the stock together. Turn the feed roller and advance the splice through the printer. Do not try and run the splice through the printer as it can cause damage.
3.2 Sending a Print Job to the Printer
In order to print labels, you must send a print Job to the printer. The print job tells the printer what label to print, what information to print on the label, and how many labels to print.
Getting a print job to the printer depends on how your company system is set up. You may be using AVERY DENNISON’s label design program PCMate

Platinum, or you may be using a special application on a PC or a mainframe. Consult your supervisor on how your company sends print jobs.
3.3 Printing Labels
3.3.1 The Control Panel
The Control Panel on your SNAP 700 printer is located at the top of the machine. Figure 11 shows the control buttons and lights displayed on the printer. The buttons allow you to control the printer, and the lights indicate the status of the printer.
• The Start/Stop Button is a blue button that starts and stops printing. If there
are labels ready to print, pressing the Start/Stop Button starts printing. If the printer is running, pressing the Start/Stop Button stops printing.
• The Ready Light is a green light that indicates the printer has been powered
up, completed its diagnostics, and is ready to accept print jobs.
• The Data Light green light that indicates you have sent a print job to the
printer and it is ready to print. If the Data Light is flashing, you are at end of day (see section 3.3.4).
• The Supply Light is a yellow light indicates that: either the stock or ink
supply has run out and needs reloading or the stacker is full. It may also come on if you have an accessory attached and there is a problem with it.
• The Error Light is a red light that indicates a problem exists somewhere in
the printer.
• The Voice Button is a yellow button and will play a message describing the
status of the printer. Use it to determine causes of printer issues. If the printer is printing, pressing the Voice Button will stop printing.

Figure 11. Control Panel
3.3.2 Printing
Once a print job has been sent to the printer, the Data light will come on. You can then press the Start/Stop Button to start printing.
When printing starts, the stacker will move the platform to the correct position. Then the printer will start printing labels.
As the printer prints, the cut labels will drop onto the top of the stack. As the stack grows, the stacker platform moves down so that the top of the stack stays in the same position.
3.3.2.1 Handling the Leader
When you start printing for the first time, or after some errors, the printer will create a leader. The leader is a longer piece of material that may be blank or may have some partially printed labels. These labels are not usable and are not part of the print job.
When the printer creates a leader, grab it as it comes out of the nip rollers and pull it out of the stacker when the printer does the first cut. (If you are not using the stacker, or you are using some other accessory such as a Rewinder or Looper, you may need to handle the leader differently.)
3.3.3 Errors
If the printer encounters a problem during printing, it will stop printing and either the Supply or Error light will come on. The Supply light means that there is a problem with either the ink or the stock, or the stacker is full. The error light means that there is some other problem with the printer.
There are three ways to determine what the problem is:
1. Press the Voice button. A message will play that describes the problem.
2. The problem will be displayed in the Printer Status box on the Virtual
Control Panel in PCMate Platinum. See section 8.0 for a description of the Virtual Control Panel.
Correct the problem and press the Start Button to start printing again.
NOTE: If the error condition no longer exists, the printer will start. It is not necessary to press the Start button twice as is required with previous AVERY DENNISON printer models. If the error continues to recur, contact your local AVERY DENNISON representative.

3.3.4 End of Day
When the printer finishes printing all the print jobs that have been sent, it will stop with a few labels left to print. The Data Light will flash. Sending another print job will allow the printer to continue printing without producing a leader. The feature helps prevent wasting stock and ink.
If all the jobs are finished or you need to change stock and/or ink and the data light is flashing, press the Start Button. The printer will print the last few labels of the last print job. You can then turn off the printer or change the stock and ink for the next print job.
3.3.5 Clearing Print Jobs
If you have sent print jobs to the printer and do not want to print the labels, press and hold both the Start/Stop and Voice buttons simultaneously. After about 2 seconds, the printer will say “Clearing Current Batch.” If there is only one print job, the Data light will go out.
If there are more than one print job and you only want to clear the current one, release the buttons. If there are more than one print job and you want to clear them all, continue to hold the buttons until the printer says, “Clearing All Batches.”
3.3.6 Using Pre-Printed Stock
When using pre-printed or die-cut stock, the printer must detect a sense mark on the stock in order to print in the proper place.
• The SNAP 700 printer comes with a through-hole sensor standard. The
sensor, mounted in the Sensor Module, will detect a hole or slot any location across the width of the stock. Adjusted the sensor position to the hole or slot to register.
• The printer also comes with top reflective sensor standard. This sensor,
built into the same through-hole sensor, detects a black sense mark printed on the top side of the stock.
• The bottom reflective sensor is also standard on the SNAP 700. This
sensor is built into the through-hole sensor and will detect a black sense mark printed on the bottom of white tape or tag stock.
• Two contrast sensors are options. Both are dimensionally identical and
use a fiber-optic pickup tube mounted in the up-right frame with the tip protruding into a slot in the left guide shaft. The contrast sensor detects most sense marks. The color/contrast sensor detects colored and more difficult sense marks.
• The fiber-optic pickup tube is moveable and will detect sense marks
across the entire width of the supply. Refer to appendix 7 for

instructions on teaching these sensors.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 33
User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
33
3.3.6.1 Selecting the Sensor
Select the sensor one of two ways. First, the sensor type can be selected as part of the format (see the PCMate Platinum manual or the PCL manual for details). Second, override the format sensor using the Virtual Control Panel (see section
8.0). If the Format sensor type is selected, the printer will use the sensor specified in the format. If one of the other sensor types is selected, the printer will use that sensor and ignore the selection in the format.
The printer does not know if the optional sensors are installed. If one of these sensors is selected but not installed, the printer will not operate properly.
3.3.6.2 Aligning the Stock to the Sensor
In order to work properly, the stock must be aligned to the sensor before starting to print. To do this, close one or both print-head rollers (depending on whether the label is single- or double-sided) and use the Auxiliary Feed knob until the sense mark is just to the left of the sensor. Then rotate the ink rewind arbors to take up any slack and press the Start Button.
This alignment must be done anytime the printer would normally create a leader. This will happen after most errors. Do not align the stock after a normal stop or a stacker full.
3.3.6.3 Aligning the Sensor to the Stock
The SNAP700 has two sensors that operate together to provide the hole, top reflective, and bottom reflective sensor functions. These sensors are small black rectangular plastic modules that move across the web by turning the adjusting knob. One sensor is above the web and the other is below the web. There are two “dimples” in the sensor body that mark the sense position.
When using a hole sensor mark, align the inboard dimple with the hole in the web. When using either top or bottom reflective sense mark, align the mid- point between the dimples with the printed mark.
If the sensor is not properly aligned when printing is started, the printer will stop with the Supply light flashing. Pressing the Voice button will give a error message that will identify the type of sensor. For example, if the format calls for a hole sense mark (or the front Panel Sensor Override is set to Hole), the message will be “Hole Sensor Calibration Error”. This error will also appear in the Virtual Front Panel.
In this mode, the Supply light will flash at a rate that is proportional to the alignment of the sensor to the sense mark. If the sensor is not aligned with the sensor mark, the light will flash slower. If the sensor is aligned with the sense
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
mark, the light will flash rapidly or stay on.
To align the sensor to the sense mark, move the stock so that the sensor mark shows in the slot under the sensor. Then adjust the sensor across the web until the Supply light flashes rapidly or stays on. For best alignment, move the sensor to the point where the light flashes most rapidly, and then continue to move the sensor in the same direction until the light starts to flash more slowly. Then move the sensor back to a point in between those two points.
Press Start again to begin printing.
3.3.7 Feeding the stock
To feed the stock, press and hold the Start button. After a short delay, the printer will feed stock though the printer. To stop the feed, release the Start button.
If you are in the middle of printing a batch, feeding the stock will cause the printed labels between the printhead and the knife to feed through without cutting. These labels will be re-printed the next time you start printing. The batch quantity will be correct.
3.4 Option Menu System
The Option Menu System allows you to
• Print test labels
• Set the voice volume
When the instructions say to press a button, press the button for a short time and release it. When the instructions say to press and hold a button, press the button and hold it down until the printer responds.
When you are in the Option Menu System, you can get out by pressing and holding the Voice button until the printer says “Returning to print mode.”
Use the Start / Stop and Voice buttons to move through the Option Menu System. Each time you press a key, a voice message will follow, or the machine will initiate or stop an action. Regardless of which of the three functions you want to select in the Option Menu System, you select it the same way:
1. Press and hold the Voice button for about two seconds.
2. The Voice message will say, “Press Start for Test Pattern.”
3. If you do not want to run a test pattern, press the Voice button.

4. The voice message will say, “Press Start for Demos.”
5. If you do not want to listen to the demos, press the Voice button.
6. The voice message will respond with, “Press Start to Set Volume.”
7. If you do not want to change the speaker volume, press the Voice button.
8. The printer will say “Returning to Print Mode.” At this time the Option
Menu System is complete and the printer is back to normal operation.
For more information on how to use each of the three possibilities in the Option Menu System, refer to Sections 3.4.1, Running Test Labels; 3.4.2, Using Voice Demos; and 3.4.3, Setting / Adjusting Voice Button Volume. Appendix 8 contains a flowchart of the Option Menu System.
3.4.1 Running Test Patterns
Your SNAP 700 printer offers you two Test Patterns to run before you proceed to production.
Test Pattern 1 (Narrow Setup Test Pattern), is a format designed to run on a 2” wide fabric. It consisting of a solid line down the middle on the front and back of the label and a solid line across the web that is exactly 1” from the cut, along with a 2” wide brick pattern. These lines are helpful in adjusting print position to compensate for mechanical tolerances in the printer, and the brick pattern can be used to detect dot out in the head.
Test Pattern 2 (Wide Setup Test Pattern) is similar to Test Pattern 1, except that it is designed to run on a 5” wide stock.
Test Pattern 3 and 4 (Custom Test Pattern 1 and Custom Test Pattern 2) more closely resemble actual labels and can be used to make adjustments to the printhead pressure and contrast (see section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2).
When you have determined which Test Pattern you wish to operate, use the appropriate procedure.
NOTE: The printer is set up to print the selected label test format in a very large quantity. You must manually start and stop the printing to make any necessary adjustments and to end the test run.

4.0 Making Adjustments
4.1 Print Head Adjustments
The one or two print stations on the SNAP 700 printer are stationary. The print rollers swing open for loading stock and ink and are closed when the machine is printing. The rollers are held in the print position with a latch on both the inside and outside end of the rollers.
When printing labels, there are three adjustments you may need to make to the print stations: (1) adjust the print head pressure, (2) adjust the contrast, which controls print darkness (density), and (3) slide the print head pressure spring toward the front or rear of the machine across the width of the printhead.
4.1.1 Adjusting Print Head Pressure
Each print head has one print head pressure knob, screwed into a slide block (see Figure 13). Change print head pressure settings as follows:
CAUTION: For extended print head life, use the lightest print pressure setting whenever possible.
1. To increase or decrease print head pressure, turn the pressure adjustment
knob. Turn the knob down to increase head pressure and up to decrease pressure. The knob can be backed out of the head bracket if loosened too much. Replace the pressure knob assembly into the threaded hole.
CAUTION: Ensure that both knobs on the print head have about the same spacing from the head mount bracket.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 40
40
User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
Figure 13. Print Head Components
4.1.2 Adjusting Density (Darkness)
The contrast knob for adjusting print density (darkness) is located on the front of each print station (see Figure 13). You may adjust the contrast knob while printing labels.
The nominal contrast setting is in the center of the rotation.
1. To increase print density, rotate the contrast knob clockwise.
2. To decrease print density, rotate the contrast knob counterclockwise.
You can manually rotate the contrast knob 270 degrees. At maximum value, the print will not become any darker. In fact, it may actually begin to get lighter.
CAUTION: For extended print head life, use the lowest print contrast the produces acceptable print quality.
4.2 Adjusting the Stacker
The stacker on your SNAP 700 printer is adjustable in four ways: the position of the stacker on the mounting pins, the height of the stack, the angle at which labels are accumulated in the stack, and the angle of the platform. Different settings of these adjustments may be needed depending on the length and width

User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
41
of the labels being printed and the material being used. There are no incorrect settings, only adjustments that allow the stacker to better accommodate the size and type of material used for the label being printed and stacked. You will soon learn the settings that work best for your labels.
4.2.1 Stacker Position
The stacker slides in and out on the mounting pins. This allows for proper positioning of the stacker for the width of the label you are printing. The stacker should be set so that the back wall of the stacker is just behind the back end of the label where it comes out of the nip rollers.
The stacker mount bracket has a thumbscrew that locks the stacker in position and also stiffens the mounting.
Adjusting the stacker angle (see section 4.2.3) will move the position of the back wall. If you adjust the stacker angle, be sure to readjust the stacker position.
4.2.2 Toggle Switch
The stacker has two electronic sensors that set where the top of the stack is. Depending on the size of the label to be collected on the stacker, use the toggle switch to select from the two different electronic sensors (See Figure 5 and 11). There is no correct or incorrect switch setting. Use the setting that works best.
1. Determine the size of label to be printed.
a. For short feeds ranging from 1 - 2 inches (25 mm – 51 mm), use the
upper sensor.
b. For long feed and/or woven labels, use the lower sensor.
2. Depress the top portion of the toggle switch to use the upper sensor.
3. Depress the bottom portion of the toggle switch to use the lower sensor.
4.2.3 Stacker Angle
The angle of the stacker is adjustable, and can be tipped out a maximum of 20 degrees at the bottom from the vertical position shown in Figure 5. Since there is no single stacker angle that is best for all label lengths and types of materials, you can adjust the stacker angle to best accommodate each run.
1. When the feed is 2 inches (51 mm) or longer, or when using coated tapes, the
stacker works well with the bottom tipped out.
2. When using woven tapes, the stacker should be vertical or almost vertical.

User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
Figure 14. Stacker Angle – Almost Vertical
4.2.4 Platform
The platform angle can be adjusted in two different locations to alter the angle at which labels are stacked and stopped.
1. Pull the spring loaded Adjustment Pin and move the platform from a
horizontal to a backwards angle approximately 20 degrees up on the outer end of the platform.
a. For satin labels, use the lower position.
b. For coated labels, and short feed labels, elevate the outer end.
The label stop helps position the labels in the stack. The label stop is magnetic. Follow these steps to adjust the position of the label stop.
2. Place a cut label on the stacker platform and slide it into the back corner.
3. Move the label stop to within 1/8 inch (3 mm) of the end of the label.

4.3 Print and Cut Adjustments
The print and cut adjustments allow you to compensate for mechanical tolerances in the printer.
4.3.1 Cut Adjust
NOTE: The cut adjust should only be made when using pre- printed stock (see section 3.3.6). If the cut adjust is changed when you are using blank stock, the print will appear to move on the label.
If you use pre-printed stock, do the cut adjust using the pre- printed stock and then do the print adjust using either pre- printed or blank stock.
If you never use pre-printed stock, set the cut adjust to zero.
The cut adjust allows you to adjust the cut position so that it cuts in the right place with relation to the sense mark on pre-printed stock.
Adjust cut using the Virtual Control Panel (sec. 8.0) in PCMate Platinum on the Options tab.
When the cut adjust is set correctly, the printer will cut the label at the leading edge of the sense mark. If the cut is not in the right place, increase the cut adjust value to move the cut to the right (looking at the printer) or decrease the value to move the cut to the left. Each step is 0.003”/0.076mm.
4.3.2 Print Adjust
The print adjust allows you to move the print with relation to the cut. There are two print adjusts, one for the top print station and one for the bottom print station.
Adjust cut using the Virtual Control Panel (section 8.0) in PCMate Platinum on the Options tab.
The best way to set the print adjust is to use Test Pattern 1 (see section 3.4.1). The test pattern has a line printed across the stock that is 1” from the cut. Run a few labels and measure the distance from the cut to the line. Then increase the print adjust value to move the print to the right, or decrease the print adjust value to move the print to the left. Each step is 0.003”/0/076mm. Repeat until the line is in the correct place.
NOTE: Some operators use the print and cut adjusts to “fine- tune” a format. If done this way, the operator will have to fine tune each format. A better approach is to correct any print position problems in the format, and to use the Sense To Cut option to move the cut if necessary. Refer to the PCMate Platinum manual for details.

4.4 Printer Features
The SNAP 700 printer has many operator-controllable features. Each of these features can be selected from the Virtual Control Panel (see section 8.0) Unless otherwise noted, locate these features on the Options tab or the Virtual Control Panel.
4.4.1 Selecting the Printer Language
The SNAP 700 printer has the capability of presenting both text and voice messages in multiple languages.
The printer is shipped with English as the only language. Other languages must be installed separately. Contact your local AVERY DENNISON Representative for information about what languages are available and how to install another language.
In the Virtual Control panel, access the Options tab. Click on the arrow in the Language box to drop down a list of available languages. Click on the desired language. Click “Apply” to activate the selected language.
Selecting the printer language does not change the PCMate Platinum language. See the PCMate Platinum manual for information about changing languages.
4.4.2 Setting the Date and Time
The SNAP 700 printer has a built-in clock and calendar. Change the date and time as follows:
In the Virtual Control Panel, access the Options Tab. Observe the current printer date and time. Change the values in the Date or Time box, or click on the “Sync to PC” button to set the printer to the same date and time as the PC. Click on “Apply” to set the printer date and time.
4.4.3 Enabling or Disabling the Cutter
You may disable the cutter in order to use an accessory such as a Rewinder. If the cutter is enabled, it will cut according to the Cut Count selected in the format. If the cutter is disabled, it will not cut.
The Sonic Knife, if installed, will also be enabled or disabled using this command.
In the Virtual Control Panel, access the Options tab. Click on the arrow in the Cutter box. Select “Enabled” to run the cutter or “Disabled” to turn it off.

4.4.4 Selecting the Print Speed
The print speed is normally set in the format. You may override the format setting and specify the speed you want the printer to run. This is useful if you have formats that were designed for other AVERY DENNISON printers.
In the Virtual Control Panel, select the Options tab. Click on the arrow in the Print Speed box to drop down a menu of print speed choices. Click on the desired choice and click on Apply or Close to set the print speed.
The available choices are:
• Format – use the print speed specified in the format. If the print speed
does not exist in the SNAP 700 printer, it will use the closest print speed that is not greater. For example, if the format was designed for a 676 printer and calls for 5 ips, the SNAP 700 printer will use 4.5 ips.
• Translate – uses the corresponding speed from the printer specified in the
format. For example, if the format was designed for a 676 printer and called for 5 ips (the third speed in the printer’s speed list of 3, 4, and 5 ips), the SNAP 700 printer would use 4.5 ips, which is the second speed in its speed list of 3, 4.5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 ips.
The Translate section has limited application and can cause unintended operation.
• 3, 4.5, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 – selects the desired print speed.
4.4.5 Selecting the Flagging Mode
This selection allows you override the flagging mode specified in the format. It is set in the same way as the Print Speed.
The available selections are:
• Format – uses the flagging mode specified in the format
• Side-step – This selection is for the High Volume Stacker, which is not
available for the SNAP 700 printer. Do not select this.
• Disabled – Disables flagging. No flagging will be done.
4.4.6 Selecting the Sense Mark Type
This selection allows you to override the sense mark type (none, top through hole or bottom reflective) selected in the format. Its main purpose is to allow you to activate the optional Contrast Sensor, since older formats or formats for other AVERY DENNISON printers will not have the Contrast Sensor type.
This option is set in the same way as Print Speed.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 46
46
User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
The available selections are:
• Format – use the sense mark type specified in the format
• Top Hole Sensor, Bottom Reflective, Contrast – selects the sensor type
• Disabled – ignores the sense mark. This is useful when designing a
format using blank stock to avoid wasting the more expensive pre- printed stock.
The printer does not know whether the Bottom Reflective or Contrast Sensor is installed. If you select a sensor type that is not installed, the printer will not print properly.
4.4.7 Setting the Default Transfer Type
The transfer type specifies the type of stock and ink that is being used. For example, transfer type 97 is 4800TWT fabric with CT1111 ink. The transfer type tells the printer how much energy is needed to print when using that stock and ink. See Appendix 2 for a list of available transfer types.
It is highly recommended that the transfer type be specified in the format. However, if a transfer type is not specified in the format, the printer uses the default transfer type.
PCMate Platinum always includes the transfer type in the format. If you are using PCMate Platinum, you do not need to specify a default transfer type.
4.4.8 Viewing the Life Counts
The SNAP 700 printer maintains a count of the total number of labels printed, and the total number of inches of material. Also, there is a resettable label counter.
In the Virtual Control Panel, the Life Counts can be found in the Life Counts/Software Version tab. To reset the resettable label counter, click on the Reset button.

CAUTION: Turn off the power to the printer before cleaning or replacing the print head.
NOTE: AVERY DENNISON recommends cleaning print heads.
1. With alcohol and a cotton pad or cloth every 2-4 hours of continuous usage;
2. With alcohol and Velcro cleaning pads after 8 hours of use.
Print heads are extremely sensitive and can be easily damaged, if not cleaned regularly and handled properly. To help prolong print head life and ensure excellent print quality, AVERY DENNISON recommends the following cleaning schedule.
• After two to four hours of continuous usage, wipe the print heads with
alcohol and a cotton pad or cloth.
• After eight hours of continuous operation, a more vigorous cleaning is
required. Use alcohol and a Velcro cleaning pad, such as those supplied with each new printhead.
5.1.1 Handling Techniques
Static discharge can easily damage thermal print heads. To avoid a static discharge, follow these procedures.
1. Keep all print heads in their original anti-static bags until they are ready to
be installed in the printer.
2. Wear an anti-static wrist strap to prevent static discharge from your body
into the printer, when working with a print head. Wear anti-static gloves at all times when handling print heads to prevent oils on your hands from contaminating the print head. The SNAP 700 printer optional spare parts kit contains an anti-static wrist strap and gloves.
a. If your company has not purchased the spare parts kit, buy the anti-
static wrist strap at your local electronics store.
b. Extra anti-static gloves can be ordered from AVERY DENNISON.
c. If an anti-static glove is not available, thoroughly wash and dry your
hands before handling the print head.

5.3 Lubrication
The SNAP 700 printer is manufactured with ball bearings that do not require lubrication. There are two (2) oil-impregnated bronze bushings in the Nip Roller assembly that do require lubrication.
Caution: AVERY DENNISON recommends lubricating the bronze bushings with one drop of multi-use oil once every month during normal operation.
5.4 Rotary Knife Assembly
The rotary knife assembly for the SNAP 700 printer is fastened directly to the frame. It has been designed to deliver an average of two million cuts if used with woven tapes and four million cuts when used with coated tapes, provided no foreign objects are inserted into the assembly that could damage the knife blades.
There are two oil cups on the knife assembly that require lubricating. The stationary and rotary blades are field replaceable components. The pressure springs and knife blades should all be replaces at the same time. This will prevent premature failures.
Caution: AVERY DENNISON recommends lubricating the knife oil cups with 2 -3 drop of SAE 30 weight oil once every week during normal operation.

9.0 Upgrading the Printer Software
9.1 Introduction
The SNAP 700 printer software can be updated electronically. Software upgrades are distributed as a single file called the upgrade or .UPG file. PCMate Platinum will take the UPG file and automatically upgrade the printer. Once the upgrade process is started, no other action is required.
9.2 What is Needed
The upgrade can only be performed by PCMate Platinum. Therefore, you must have a Microsoft PC running PCMate Platinum to upgrade the printer software. See Section 2.1.3 for the minimum requirements to run PCMate Platinum.
9.3 Getting the UPG file
9.3.1 Using Avery Dennison Online to get the UPG file
The easiest way to get the upgrade file is through Avery Dennison Online. (Contact your Avery Dennison Sales representative for more information). If you have an Avery Dennison Online account, contact your online coordinator and request that an upgrade be scheduled for your account. Once this is done, log onto Avery Dennison Online, select “In-Plant”, then “Retrieve Updates.” The upgrade file will be automatically put on your PC, and the next time you start up PCMate Platinum, it will offer to upgrade the printer.
9.3.2 Ordering the UPG file on CD
Release upgrades files can be obtained from the Avery Dennison IBMD web site at http://www.ibmd.averydennison.com/ . Navigate to the upgrade files as follows: Support – In Plant Support – Software Downloads – Software Downloads – Printer Operating Systems Releases – SNAP - SNAP Operating Systems. Copy the desired UPG files and paste it into the c:\D2COMM\Control directory on your computer.
Note: This path is correct as of the writing and is subject to change without notice. If you cannot find the proper link contact Avery Dennison Customer Service.
9.4 Getting Ready to Upgrade the Printer
In order to perform the upgrade, the printer must be turned on and connected to PCMate Platinum. Refer to the PCMate Platinum manual for instructions on connecting the printer.

To start the upgrade, click on the Start Upgrade button. No further action is required until the upgrade process is complete.
The upgrade process can take quite a while. If the process is interrupted, the printer will attempt to revert to the last revision. If it fails, it will revert to a safe version. If this occurs, it will be necessary to redo the upgrade.
The following window will appear.
The following description of the upgrade process is accurate as of this writing. However, changes may be made to improve the process. It is important to allow the process to finish.
During the first part of the upgrade process, PCMate Platinum sends the necessary files to the printer. This screen allows you to monitor the progress of the file transfer. The top progress bar shows the file being sent, while the bottom bar shows the overall progress.
Once all the files have been transferred to the printer, the printer must perform its upgrade. The following window will appear.

10.5 Printer Errors
Printer errors are indicated by either the Supply or Error light being on.
When the Supply light is on, the printer supplies (stock or ink) require attention. Generally, this means the stock or one of the ink rolls is empty, or the stacker is full.
If the Error light is on, some condition occurred that would not allow the printer to continue printing.
Whenever either the Supply or Error light is on, pressing the Voice button will play a message describing the problem. If you are using PCMate Platinum, an error message will be displayed in the Printer Status box of the Virtual Front Panel.
The table below shows all of the printer error messages, along with a description of the problem and some possible solutions. Error messages shaded in gray apply to printer firmware version 3.23.06.12 and earlier. These were changed to clarify that the errors are software errors and do not indicate that the MCB is defective. They are replaced by the SOFTWARE XXX PRESS START message (see the description for details).
Voice Message Prompt Description
Knife Error. Press start to continue.
KNIFE DID NOT HOME The knife did not complete the cut properly, or the
knife could not initialize properly. Try again. If this happens frequently or continuously, the knife needs service
The stacker is full.
Remove labels from the stacker.
STACKER FULL The stacker is full. Remove all labels from the
stacker. If this error occurs when there are no labels on the stacker, the stacker requires service.
Stacker sensor error.
Remove labels from the stacker.
STACKER SENSOR ERROR This error occurs when the stacker tries to position
the platform before printing. The platform position sensor did not respond as expected. This is usually caused by labels blocking the sensor. Remove all labels from the platform and try again. If the error
still occurs, the stacker requires service. Open the top (bottom) print station for a single sided format
OPEN TOP (BOTTOM) PRINTHEAD
The SNAP printers are capable of printing on either
the top or bottom printheads, both, or neither (cut
only). The unused print station roller(s) must be
open.. This eliminates the need to install ink on the
unused station. If this error occurs when the bottom
station roller is open, the head open sensor is not
working. Lower (Upper) print station error. Printer requires service.
ST1 (2) LOW TEMP READ ERR
This error indicates that the upper or lower printhead
temperature is out of normal range. This is generally
caused by a disconnected printhead. Check the
printhead connections. If the error still occurs,
change the printhead. If the error still occurs, replace
the printhead cable. If the error still occurs, replace
the MCB.

continues to occur, report the error and the
circumstances that cause it to Avery Dennison
Service. These errors are caused by errors in the
software and are not caused by hardware failures.
Internal error. Press start to continue.
OUT OF MEMORY IMAGER ERROR 919
These are internal errors similar to the ones above.
However, these errors will require power cycling the
printer. If the error continues to occur, report the
error and the circumstances that cause it to Avery
Dennison Service.
Knife cycle error.
Increase label length or select a slower print speed.
LBL TOO SHORT FOR SPEED
This error indicates that the label is shorter than the
minimum length for the selected print speed. Refer
to the Printer Specifications for minimum label
lengths. (Minimum label lengths are different for the
Sonic Knife. Refer to the Sonic Knife manual.) To
run and cut the label, you must either make the label
longer or reduce the print speed. The stock supply roll is empty
STOCK OUT This error indicates the stock supply roll is empty. If
the stock supply roll is not empty, make sure the
supply core is firmly held by the arbor clamp.
If this error continues to occur, remove the stock roll
and press the Start button (the Ready light must be
on). The stock arbor should spin counter-clockwise
briefly. If it doesn’t, the motor or MCB is defective. If
it spins and you continue to get the error after re-
installing the stock roll, the MCB is defective.

Voice Message Prompt Description
The lower (upper) print station ink roll is empty
INK OUT BOTTOM (TOP) This error indicates that the ink on the specified print
station is either missing or broken, or the supply roll
is empty.
If this error continues to occur even though the ink
supply rolls are properly installed, remove the ink
rolls and press the Start button. The unwind (supply)
arbor should spin counter-clockwise and the rewind
(take-up) arbor should spin clockwise briefly. If one
or both of the motors does not spin, the motor(s) or
MCB are defective. If both motors spin, install a new
ink roll. If the error continues to occur with the new
ink roll, the MCB is defective. The lower (upper) print station roller is open
HEAD OPEN BOTTOM (TOP)
This error indicates that either the upper or lower
platen roller is open. Close the roller. If the error
continues to occur when the roller is closed, check
the roller open sensor. Missed sense mark MISSED SENSE MARK The format specifies a sense mark, but no sense
mark was found. Possible causes are misalignment
of the sensor to the sense mark or incompatibility of
the sense mark and the sensor type. Another
possible cause is a mismatch between the label
length that is set in the format with the actual
distance between sense marks on the stock.
NOTE: In later versions of code, this message is
replaced by the following messages that specify the
type of sensor. This gives more information in case
the wrong sensor type is selected. Missed hole sense mark
MISSED HOLE SENSEMARK
The format specifies a hole sense mark, but no
sense mark was found. Possible causes are
misalignment of the sensor to the sense mark or
incompatibility of the sense mark and the sensor
type. Another possible cause is a mismatch between
the label length that is set in the format with the
actual distance between sense marks on the stock. If
the format does not specify a hole sense mark, the
sensor type override may be set. Missed top reflective sense mark
MISSED T REFL SENSEMARK
The format specifies a top reflective sense mark, but
no sense mark was found. Possible causes are
misalignment of the sensor to the sense mark or
incompatibility of the sense mark and the sensor
type. Another possible cause is a mismatch between
the label length that is set in the format with the
actual distance between sense marks on the stock. If
the format does not specify a top reflective sense
mark, the sensor type override may be set. Missed bottom reflective sense mark
MISSED B REFL SENSEMARK
The format specifies a bottom reflective sense mark,
but no sense mark was found. Possible causes are
misalignment of the sensor to the sense mark or
incompatibility of the sense mark and the sensor
type. Another possible cause is a mismatch between
the label length that is set in the format with the
actual distance between sense marks on the stock. If
the format does not specify a bottom reflective sense
mark, the sensor type override may be set.

Missed contrast sense mark
MISSED CONTR SENSEMARK
The format specifies a contrast sense mark, but no
sense mark was found. Possible causes are
misalignment of the sensor to the sense mark or
incompatibility of the sense mark and the sensor
type. Another possible cause is a mismatch between
the label length that is set in the format with the
actual distance between sense marks on the stock.
Also, the contrast sensor option may not be installed.
If the format does not specify a contrast sense mark,
the sensor type override may be set. The lower (upper) print head is overheated. Wait until the error light to go out then press start to continue
HEAD 1 (2) OVER TEMP The printer continuously monitors the temperature of
the printhead to ensure it doesn’t overheat and
damage the printhead. When the printhead
temperature reaches a pre-set limit, the printer will
stop with this error. Wait for the error light to go out
and continue printing. However, it is likely that the
error will happen again. Possible solutions are to
reduce the print speed or to reduce the amount of
copy on the label.
If this error happens when the printer is first turned
on or does not clear itself within a few minutes, the
printhead or MCB may be defective. Sensor Calibration Error
SENSOR CAL ERROR When first running a format specifying a particular
sensor, or after a missed sense mark error, the
printer automatically calibrates the sensor. This error
indicates that the printer could not calibrate the
sensor. Possible causes are misalignment of the
sensor to the sense mark or incompatibility of the
sense mark and the sensor type. NOTE: In later
versions of firmware, this message is replaced with
the ones below, which indicate the selected sensor
type. This gives more information in case the wrong
sensor type is selected. Hole sense mark calibration error
HOLE SENSEMARK CAL ERROR
When first running a format specifying a hole sense
mark, or after a missed sense mark error, the printer
automatically calibrates the sensor. This error
indicates that the printer could not calibrate the
sensor. Possible causes are misalignment of the
sensor to the sense mark or incorrect sensor type Top reflective mark calibration error
T REFL SENSEMARK CAL ERROR
When first running a format specifying a top reflective
sense mark, or after a missed sense mark error, the
printer automatically calibrates the sensor. This error
indicates that the printer could not calibrate the
sensor. Possible causes are misalignment of the
sensor to the sense mark or incorrect sensor type Bottom reflective mark calibration error
B REFL SENSEMARK CAL ERROR
When first running a format specifying a bottom
reflective sense mark, or after a missed sense mark
error, the printer automatically calibrates the sensor.

Contrast sense mark calibration error
CONTR SENSEMARK CAL ERROR
When first running a format specifying a contrast
sense mark, or after a missed sense mark error, the
printer automatically calibrates the sensor. This error
indicates that the printer could not calibrate the
sensor. Possible causes are misalignment of the
sensor to the sense mark or incorrect sensor type.
Also, the contrast sensor option may not be installed Bar code failure VERIFIER HALT 1 (2) 912
(Note: there is no difference between 1 and 2)
This indicates that the bar code verifier found a bad
bar code. The most likely cause is a print quality
problem such as an ink wrinkle or a dot out on the
printhead. If this error happens on every label, check
the printhead for dots out. If this error happens often,
but not every label, check the bar code minimum
height requirement or lower the ANSI grade.
Communication error.
Press start to continue.
BUFFER OVERFLOW SERIAL COMM OVERFLOW
This error indicates that the host computer sent more
data than the printer can handle. This error is
generally caused by a mismatch in the serial protocol
setting (XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS) between the printer
and the host, or a cable that does not have the
RTS/CTS lines.
NOTE: Later versions of firmware use the SERIAL
COMM OVERFLOW message to indicate that the
problem is in the serial communications. N/A TOO MANY FIELDS The number of fields on the label exceeds the
maximum number allowed. The imager and MCB software versions are not compatible
SOFTWARE MISMATCH The printer checks to make sure the software
versions within the printer are compatible. This error
indic
ates that the versions are not compatible.

to occur after a power cycle, disconnect all
peripherals (stacker, sonic knife, etc.). If the problem
still occurs, replace the Frame ID memory. If it still
occurs, replace the MCB.
If disconnecting the peripherals fixes the problem, re-
connect one at a time to determine which one is
causing the problem, then replace the printer
interface harness.
Internal error. Press start to continue.
MCB ERROR #96 This error is related to the Security Batch Count
feature. It indicates that the Batch Count queue is
full, which should never happen. The only way to

13. Using the supplied Template, scribe a cutout line on the Rear Cover.
SCRIBE TEMPLATE
SCRIBE AND REMOVE THIS MATERIAL
14. Remove the material within this scribed line. Drill corners and use a Dremel Tool or Small Saw.
15. Slide Cover onto Printer. The Cutout should be over the Control Plate on the Sensor. The Sensor may require both horizontal and vertical readjustment to fit below the cutout.
16. Reattach the Rear Cover. Reconnect Stacker connection.
17. When ready to use a sense mark format, program the Sensor per instructions provided with the Sensor.
5. Programming the Contrast Sensors
There are two optional contrast sensors available for the SNAP 700 printer. 620006-1 is the standard contrast sensor. It works well in most situations where there is significant contrast between the material background and the sense mark. In situations where there is less contrast between the material and the sense mark, or the material and sense mark are of similar colors, the 620007-1 Color Contrast Sensor may be required.
Both sensors have to be “taught” the difference between the material background and the sense mark. The procedures are similar, and are described below.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 93
User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer

Programming the Contrast Sensor
The figure below shows the control panel for the Contrast Sensor. The sensor can detect a light sense mark on dark material (L) or a dark sense mark on light material (D). In each mode, the control switch can be set to RUN or TEACH.
To teach the sensor, thread the printer with the stock to be used. Position the material so that a sense mark is just to the left of the sensor position. Adjust the sensor position across the web so that the sensor lines up with the sense mark.
Set the control switch on the sensor to the TEACH position. If the material has a light sense mark on dark material, set the switch to TEACH L. If the material has a dark sense mark on light material, set the switch to TEACH D.
Press and hold the TEACH button while using the stock advance knob to move the sense mark under and past the sensor.
Make sure that the stock is tight against the web guide. The best way to do this is to press the TEACH button with the left index finger, while applying back tension to the supply roll with the left thumb. This ensures that the stock is in the same position that it will be when the printer is running.
Release the TEACH button. If the Q light flashes rapidly, the sensor did not program correctly. If the process fails repeatedly, the sensor may not be lined up correctly with the sense mark, or there may not be enough contrast between the background and the sense mark.
Move the material so that the sense mark moves back and forth under the sensor. The Q light on the sensor should flash when the sense mark passes under the sensor.
Move the configuration switch to either the RUN L or RUN D position, depending on the sense mark.

Programming the Color Contrast Sensor
The figure below shows the control panel for the Color Contrast Sensor. The configuration switch has three positions:
Q1 – Teaching mode Run – Run mode Run Delay – Do not use
To teach the sensor, thread the printer with the stock to be used. Position the material so that a sense mark is just to the left of the sensor position. Adjust the sensor position across the web so that the sensor lines up with the sense mark.
Set the control switch on the sensor to the Q1 position. Press and hold the TEACH button while using the stock advance knob to move the sense mark under and past the sensor.
Make sure that the stock is tight against the web guide. The best way to do this is to press the TEACH button with the left index finger, while applying back tension to the supply roll with the left thumb. This ensures that the stock is in the same position that it will be when the printer is running.
Release the TEACH button. If the Q/ok light flashes rapidly, the sensor did not program correctly. If the process fails repeatedly, the sensor may not be lined up correctly with the sense mark, or there may not be enough contrast between the background and the sense mark.
Move the material so that the sense mark moves back and forth under the sensor. The Q/ok light on the sensor should flash when the sense mark passes under the sensor.
Move the configuration switch to RUN position.
