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
For correct operation of the printer, perform the following steps after opening the label loading area
and studying the figure mounted inside the cover (see Fig. 10 on page 19):
- Move the print head lock lever (11) to the open position (14) (see Fig. 11 on page 20).
- Then insert the free end of the labels into the rear paper input slot (5). Pass it over the roll shaft,
over the first media roller, under the second one on which the paper guide (7) is mounted, and
then between the two sides of the paper sensor (see Fig. 12 on page 21), and finally under the
print head group and out of the label output (12).
- Move the print head lock lever (11) to the closed position (13).
- Slide the paper guide (7) into the printer until it touches the edge of the labels without blocking
their movement, as appears in Fig. 14 on page 22.
- Close the loading area and check that the paper passes unhindered through the rear paper input
(5).
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.
