Important information and instructions in this documentation are designated as follows:
Danger!
Draws your attention to an exceptionally grave, impending danger to your health or life.
Warning!
Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to injuries or material damage.
Attention!
Draws attention to possible dangers, material damage or loss of quality.
Notice!
Gives you tips. They make a working sequence easier or draw attention to important working processes.
i
Environment!
Gives you tips on protecting the environment.
Handling instruction
Reference to section, position, illustration number or document.
Option (accessories, peripheral equipment, special ttings).
Time
Information in the display.
1.2 Intended use
• The device is manufactured in accordance with current technological status and recognised safety rules.
However, danger to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device and other tangible
assets can arise during use.
• The device may only be used for its intended purpose and if it is in perfect working order, and it must be used with
regard to safety and dangers as stated in the operating manual.
• The device is intended exclusively for printing suitable materials that have been approved by the manufacturer.
Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier shall not be
liable for damage resulting from unauthorised use; the user shall bear the risk alone.
• Usage for the intended purpose also includes complying with the operating manual, including the manufacturer‘s
maintenance recommendations and specications.
Notice!
The complete documentation is included in the CD, and can also be found the Internet.
i
1.3 Safety instructions
• The device is congured for voltages of 100 to 240 V AC. It only has to be plugged into an earthed socket.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).
• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.
• If the device is operated with the cover open, ensure that people‘s clothing, hair, jewelry etc. do not come into
contact with the exposed rotating parts.
• The device or parts of it can become hot while printing. Do not touch during operation, and allow to cool down
before changing material and before disassembly.
1 Introduction
• Risk of crushing when closing the cover. Keep ngers outside when moving the device cover.
• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
• Unauthorised interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.
• Other unauthorised work on or modications to the device can also endanger operational safety.
• Always have service work done in a qualied workshop, where the personnel have the technical knowledge and
tools required to do the necessary work.
• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to dangers.
Warning stickers must therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and
may be injured.
• The maximum sound pressure level is less than 70 dB(A).
Danger!
Danger to life and limb from power supply.
Do not open the device casing.
1.4 Environment
Obsolete devices contain valuable recyclable materials that should be sent for appropriate processing.
The modular construction of the printer enables it to be easily disassembled into its component parts.
Send the parts for recycling.

1. Clean printhead before loading the ribbon ( 5.3 on page 18).
2. Turn lever (5) counterclockwise to lift the printhead.
3. Slide ribbon roll (3) onto the ribbon supply hub (4) until it stops and so that the colour coating of the ribbon faces
downward when being unwound.
4. Hold ribbon roll (3) rmly and turn knob on ribbon supply hub (4) counterclockwise until the ribbon roll is secured.
5. Slide suitable transfer ribbon core (1) onto the ribbon take-up hub (2) and secure it in the same way.
6. Guide ribbon through the print unit as shown in Fig. 15.
7. Secure starting end of transfer ribbon to the transfer ribbon core (1) with adhesive tape. Ensure counterclockwise
rotation direction of the transfer ribbon take-up hub.
8. Turn ribbon take-up hub (2) counterclockwise to smooth out feed path.
9. Turn lever (5) clockwise to lock the printhead.

Fig. 16 Setting the feed path of the ribbon
Notice!
Adjustment is best carried out during printing.

1. Read current setting on the scale (1) and record if necessary ( Fig. 16).
2. Adjust screw (2) with Allen key and observe the behavior of the ribbon.
In the + direction, the inner edge of the ribbon is tightened, the outer edge is tightened in the - direction.
The printer is ready for operation when all connections have been made and labels and the transfer ribbon have been
loaded.
Attention!
Printhead damage can be caused by incorrect handling!
!
Do not touch the underside of the printhead with the ngers or sharp objects.
Ensure that the labels are clean.
Ensure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough and uneven media will reduce the service life of the
printhead.
Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.

5.1 Cleaning information
Danger!
Risk of death via electric shock!
Disconnect the printer from the power supply before performing any maintenance work.
The printer requires very little maintenance.
It is important to clean the printhead regularly to acheive a consistently good print quality and minimise premature
wear of the printhead.
Otherwise, the maintenance is limited to keeping the device clean, both inside and out.
Attention!
The printer can be damaged by aggressive cleansers.
!
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents for cleaning the external surfaces.
Remove dust and debris from the print area with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
The cover of the printer can be cleaned with a standard cleanser.
5.2 Cleaning the print roller
Accumulation of dirt on the print roller may impair the media ow and the print quality.
Lift the printhead.
Remove media and ribbon from the printer.
Remove deposits with roller cleaner and a soft cloth.
If the roller appears damaged, replace it Contact Cembre.
5.3 Cleaning the printhead
Cleaning frequency: every ribbon change
Contamination may accumulate on the printhead during printing and adversely affect print, e.g. differences in contrast
or vertical stripes.
Attention!
Printhead can be damaged!
!
Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the printhead.
Do not touch protective glass layer of the printhead.
Attention!
Risk of injury from the hot printhead.
Ensure that the printhead has cooled down before cleaning it.
Lift the printhead.
Remove media and ribbon from the printer.
Clean printhead surface with special cleaning pen or a cotton swab dipped in pure alcohol.
Allow printhead to dry for 2–3 minutes before recommencing printing.
5 Cleaning
5.4 Cleaning the label sensor
Attention!
Label sensor can be damaged!
!
Do not use sharp or hard objects or solvents to clean the label sensor.
The label sensor can become contaminated. This can adversely affect label detection.
