2.1 Function

The External Rewinders are peripheral devices for transfer printers of different manufacturers. During processing of large print jobs it is possible to take up and rewind large label roles independently of the printer.
An adjustable guide axle ensures that the label strip is led horizontally from each printer into the rewinder. For a correct alignment of the External Rewinders with the printers of the A+- and XC-Series Adapter Kits are offered.

5.1 Rewinding Directly onto the Rewind Axle

Note!
 Remove the spring (2) from the rewind axle!
Caution!
Risk of injury by rotating parts! When switching on the rewinder starts immediately and winds until the material is tightened.
1. Loosen the screws (1) and remove the spring (2).
Note!
 Consider the selected winding direction:
• The broken line is valid for inside wound labels.
• The solid line is valid for outside wound labels.
2. Feed the label strip over the guide axle (9) and under the roller (8) to the rewind axle (7).
Note!
 When using a rewinder of the type ERx/300
for winding labels inside, lead the label strip additionally over the guide axle (10).
 Ensure that the label strip touches the disc (6).

3. Attach the label strip appropriately to the rewind axle by sliding the clamp (5) over the label strip with the clamp set in the groove of the rewind axle (7).
4. Slide the clamp (5) as far as possible towards the disc (6).
5. Slide the plate on ER4/210 (4) or ERx/300 (4) onto the rewind axle so that it slightly touches the label strip. The label strip must be able to move between the disc and the plate.
6. Tighten the knurled screw (3) on the plate.
7. Switch on the rewinder at the power switch.

5.2 Rewinding onto 40 mm (1.6 in) Cardboard Core

Note!
 Ensure that the spring (1) is mounted on the rewind axle (2)!  Consider that the cardboard core (3) should be about 1 mm (0.04 in) broader than the label strip
Caution!
Risk of injury by rotating parts! When switching on the rewinder starts immediately and winds until the material is tightened.

1. Put the cardboard core (3) on the rewind axle (2).
Note!
 Consider the selected winding direction:
• The broken line is valid for inside wound labels.
• The solid line is valid for outside wound labels.
2. Feed the label strip over the guide axle (8) and under the roller (7) up to the cardboard core (3).
Note!
 When using a rewinder of the type ERx/300
for winding labels inside, lead the label strip additionally over the guide axle (9).
 Ensure that the label strip touches the disc (6).
3. Afx the end of the label strip with consideration of the selected rewinding direction to the cardboard core using adhesive tape or label.
4. Slide the plate (5) with the knurled screw outward onto the rewind axle until it stops.
Note!
 When using small labels it is possible that the
cardboard core does not cover the spring over the whole length. In this case the groove on
the plate must be aligned so that it ts to the
spring of the rewind axle.
5. Tighten the knurled screw (4) on the plate.
6. Switch on the rewinder at the power switch.
