1.4 Thermal Printer Technology

Quiet and fast, with excellent print quality, your multifunction thermal printer uses an inline thermal print head. The operation of a thermal printer is different from that of a line-matrix or laser printer. The thermal printer uses a print head with heating elements and special paper or ribbon.

1.4.1 The Printing Process

The thermal print head allows two modes of operation:

- Direct Thermal

During direct thermal printing, the thermal print head selectively heats small, rectangular thermal dots. When these contact the coated thermal paper, the dyes and developers in the coating react to the heat and develop an image. This mode of printing is generally used for short-term labeling applications.

- Thermal Transfer

During thermal transfer printing, the heated thermal dots contact a thermal ribbon. The heat reacts with the ribbon and bonds the image to the paper. This method is used especially for abrasive, long-storage applications and for specialized applications, such as in extreme environmental conditions or where tamper-proofing is required.

1.5 Thermal Consumables

1.5.1 Media Selection

Since there are two print modes of operation, there are two kinds of thermal media:

- Direct thermal media.

- Thermal transfer media. Direct thermal media is paper coated with special chemicals that act as an accelerator, acceptor dye

and binder. During direct thermal mode, the heat from the thermal print head contacts the paper and causes a chemical reaction to take place.

There is a wide range thermal transfer media available, such as film or synthetic paper substitutes that are excellent in their ability to transfer an image (print quality) and others in scratch resistance (long storage). Most of these media options can be die-cut for easy label applications.

NOTE!

The term “media” used in this manual refers to all the different kinds of paper or tag stock that can be used in the

printer.

Compuprint 6314/6414 - User Manual

1.5.2 Ribbons

CPG International offers a range of ribbons that have been specifically engineered to enhance printing capabilities and to prevent premature print head wear. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you use a CPG International Thermal Ribbon in your printer.

1.6 Thermal Features

1.6.1 Emulations

Your thermal printer has the standard CZL emulation which provides direct compatibility with Zebra printers. In addition, the printer has co-resident: CDL emulation which provides direct compatibility with Datamax printers and CPL emulation.

1.6.2 Hardware Options

Ask your authorized representative about the following options, which can enhance the versatility of your printer.

- Fonts

A selection of fonts is available to extend the capabilities of the standard resident fonts.

- Media Cutter

The cutter is used to automatically cut printed media when the media exits the printer.

- Media Catcher Tray

2.2.3 Adjusting The Print Head Pressure

When labels less than 118 mm in width are used, the print head does not operate properly because the right part of the print head, which is not covered by the labels, gets in direct contact with the rubber roller and is thus subject to abrasion. Therefore, the 6314/6414 printer is equipped with a numbered ratchet that can be used to adjust the pressure of the print head on the right side (see Fig. 16).

Fig. 16 – The adjustment ratchet at position 0

The pressure decreases as the number on the ratchet increases, and therefore progressively narrower labels require steadily higher numbers. The best adjustment position is the highest possible number compatible with the print quality. The number 0 corresponds to labels with a width of 118 mm.

2.4 Printing Adjustments

2.4.1 Label Variations And The TOF/Paper Out Sensor

Your printer is equipped with a sensor that is used to detect the TOF (Top-of-Form) position as well as a paper out condition. Depending on the type of media used, the sensor will either “see through” the label liner, index hole or notch in the media (Transmissive sensing) or detect a black horizontal stripe on the media with reflective label backing (Reflective sensing).

In either case, the correct option must be selected under the Paper Sensor Mode of the Enabling And Modes Menu of the Configuration Menu.

When Transmissive is selected, the TOF position is based on the trailing edge of the gap, notch, or hole.

When Reflective is selected, the TOF position is based on the leading edge of the black stripe.

A third option, Continuous, is also available under the Paper Sensor Mode. The Continuous option must be selected when continuous media with no gap, notch hole, or black stripe is installed. The TOF will be based on the Max Label Length value set under the Maximum Label Length Selection of the Printer Settings Menu of the Configuration Menu.

Length command is sent via host computer software.

NOTE!

When Gap Sense = Continuous, Calibrate should still be performed to automatically establish the optimum Paperout

Threshold value.

2.4.2 Media Sensor Horizontal Adjustment

In order to accurately detect the gap, hole, notch or narrow width black stripe, the Top-of-Form sensor can be moved along the width of the media from the inner media edge to within 65 inches from the maximum media width or the right side.

The position of the sensor is changed by using the knurled dial just behind the Print head Pressure Adjustment ratchet to adjust the sensor to the desired position.

The actual location of the sensor is indicated by the Black Mark on the sensor finger when the print head is in the open position.

Compuprint 6314/6414 - User Manual

Fig. 25 – Paper sensor adjustment knob

Perform the TOF sensor Calibrate procedure described below whenever a different type of media sensing will be required (Transmissive or Reflective), when installing never-before-tried media, or when the printer is experiencing loss of TOF position. Loss of Top-of-Form is usually followed by a fault message on the LCD, such as “PAPER FAULT” or “PAPER OUT”.

2.4.3 Running The Calibrate Via The Menu

Sequence Of Operations

The printer is equipped with a paper sensor which is necessary for perfect alignment of the paper under the print head.

Sequence of operations necessary for a correct calibration:

- To select what the paper sensor must be calibrate (Transmissive / Reflective).

- Remove paper and Run No Paper Calibration.

- Insert paper

- To move the paper sensor, using the appropriate knob, in a label zone where there aren’t any

printed logos or bar code etc.

- Run Automatic Adjustment.

NOTE!

Run No Paper Calibration function is necessary only:

1) at the first time we install the printer.

2) when we update the firmware.

3) when the printer come back from the repair center. See the chapter 3.9 (Diagnostic Menu) for details.

Compuprint 6314/6414 - User Manual

Calibration

Calibration is enabled via the front panel by using the Enter key and navigating through the menu.

NOTE!

Verify that the media installed in the printer matches the Paper Sensor Mode option (Transmissive, Reflective, or

displayed.

- Press the Enter key (the printer will display “RUNNING PAPER SENSOR ADJUST” and starts

to feed the paper until it detects the gap, notch, hole or Black Mark and then feeds 2 label lengths).

- Wen the printer displays “ADJUSTMENT DONE” or “ADJUST FAILED”, press the Esc key

until “ON LINE” is displayed.

If calibration fails to determine the proper values and ends with a fault message displayed “ADJUST FAILED”, you can either try it again or manually change the Gain and/or Threshold values under the Diagnostic menu.

Compuprint 6314/6414 - User Manual

Manual Adjustment

This function enables the printer to calibrate the paper sensor manually. This function is useful in problematic cases (e.g. transparent labels). Refer to chapter 3 paragraph 3.9.3 (Paper Sensor Control). Once the correct values are determined and the Max Label Length setting in the Printer Settings Menu is equal to or slightly less than the physical label length, press the Scroll key to advance media and determine if it consistently stops at the correct TOF position each time.

2.5 Cleaning

Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of the normal printing process. To maintain top printing quality, these residues should be removed by a periodic cleaning of the printer.

2.5.1 General

Periodic cleaning should be performed on all rollers, guides, and assemblies. Low pressure air can be used to remove dust in the printer. Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab should be used to clean any areas where media dust, adhesives, etc. have accumulated. This general cleaning will insure that all parts are free of residue which may degrade print quality. The media path and print head should be cleaned each time a new roll of media is installed in the printer.

2.5.2 Print Head

As you use your printer, the print head may become dirty resulting in poor print quality. You should clean the print head when replacing the ribbon or installing new media. Clean the print head with the print head Cleaning Pen supplied with the printer. The print head heating elements (light brown area) is most important. Keeping your print head clean will help to maintain its life.

- Open the Media access door and slide the Ribbon to one side.

such as when the buffer is full or the timing of signals is too slow or too fast, the printer will tell the host to stop

transmission by sending an XOFF character. An XOFF character is sent when the number of empty bytes in the buffer

is less than or equal to 25 percent of the buffer size. If the host keeps sending data after an XOFF is sent, the printer

firmware will continue to send an XOFF for every 16 characters received. When cleared, the printer will resume
