4.2 Control Panel | 7

4. Getting to Know Your Toro

4.1 Operating System

Due to different licensing agreements, some Toro systems use Microsoft Windows XP Embedded™ software, while others use Ubuntu Linux™ software. The functions of the two system types are only slightly different, and are described in this User Guide.

To identify the operating system in use on your DuraLabel Toro, press the system information icon

on your toolbar. In the lower right part of this window, you will see the name of the operating system in place on your Toro. If your DuraLabel Toro uses Ubuntu Linux the system also includes a list of preferred fonts, which can be found by pressing the help icon

on the toolbar and then pressing the View button for Preferred Fonts. This list shows which fonts we recommend for use, and similar fonts available on Windows-based systems.

4.2 Control Panel

Toro’s control panel is centered at the top of the printer.

4.4 Keyboard

4.4.1 KEYBOARD RELEASE

The Toro keyboard is permanently mounted to the printer housing. Open the keyboard by moving the release slider on the control panel to the right, and pulling the keyboard down until it rests on your work surface. When finished with the system, you can raise the keyboard back into its locked, upright position.

4.4.2 KEYBOARD POSITIONS AND TORO MODES

Your DuraLabel Toro has two different modes:

Standalone Mode: In this mode, Toro’s touchscreen and keyboard can be used to create label designs.

Desktop Mode: In this mode, Toro will wait for print commands from a connected computer.

DuraLabel.com | 800.788.5572

4.5 Screen | 9

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR TORO

When the keyboard is open (showing Toro’s screen) the system is in its Standalone mode. To use Desktop mode and design labels on your computer, close the keyboard (hiding Toro’s screen). While in Desktop mode, Toro’s internal software will be deactivated to save power. You can turn your Toro on or off while it is in either mode, and you can switch it between the two modes whenever it is not busy.

4.5 Screen

Toro includes a 9" (diagonal) screen with touch capability. You can use a fingertip or the Toro stylus (seated in the bottom-right edge of the keyboard) to design your labels.

To unlock the screen and adjust its angle, push the release button to the right of the screen. Then, lift the screen to the desired angle. The screen features four tilt positions to optimize viewing and touch accessibility. Each position is held firmly in place for finger touch and pointer use.

In addition to the touchscreen, Toro includes a wireless optical mouse. Seated in the base of the mouse is a small USB receiver; plug this small receiver into one of the USB-A ports on the Connection Panel of your Toro. The mouse uses a single AA battery and includes its own power switch; if the Toro does not respond when you use the mouse, make sure that the USB receiver is still firmly connected, that the mouse power switch is set to ON, and that the battery is still fresh.

10 | 5.1 Loading Ribbon

DuraLabel.com | 800.788.5572

5. Loading Ribbon and Label Stock

To load your Toro with supplies, you will need to raise the hinged cover. The cover will hold itself at the fully-opened position, which will require about 21 inches of vertical clearance.

5.1 Loading Ribbon

The printing ribbon provides the “ink” for the printing process. As labels are printed, colored resin will be transferred from the fresh ribbon onto the label stock, and the used ribbon will be collected on a take-up roller for later disposal.

1. Start with a fresh, empty ribbon take-up core. Fit one end of the core onto the gray spring-loaded holder on the top of the print head carriage. Then, fit the other end of the ribbon core onto the wheeled holder (Fig. A). Turn the take-up core or holder by hand, until the tab on the holder locks into the notch in the core.

2. Then, push the gray print head release tabs (Fig. B), to release the print head carriage. It will spring upward. Hold the new roll of ribbon so the loose end falls to the rear of the printer. Fit one end of the ribbon core onto the gray spring-loaded holder (Fig. B) on the underside of the print head carriage.

3. Then, fit the other end of the ribbon core onto the geared holder. Turn the ribbon core by hand until the tab on the holder locks into the notch in the core.

4. Pull the loose end of the ribbon up and around the print carriage and use a small piece of label stock or tape to secure the end of the ribbon to the top of the empty rewind core.

5. Pull the ribbon snug by turning the gray take-up wheel (Fig. A).

LOADING RIBBON AND LABEL STOCK

5.2 Loading Label Stock

Your label stock is the base material for your labels, or the “paper” in the printing process. For each roll of ribbon you use in the Toro, you will probably use three or four rolls of label stock.

Cutter Module

Print Carriage

Fixing Tabs

Adjustable Label Guides

FIG. C

1. If you haven’t already done so, raise the print head carriage by pressing the two gray Print Head Release Tabs (Fig. B).

2. Place label supply onto the supply spindle and slide the fixing tabs onto either side (Fig. C) to hold the roll in the center of the spindle.

3. With the label supply unrolling from the top of the roll and feeding toward the print head carriage, rest the supply spindle into its slots in your Toro.

4. Feed the end of the label supply under the print carriage, threading it between and beneath the gray adjustable label guides, and over the top of the rubber roller near the cutter module.

5. Slide the gray adjustable label guides together to keep the label stock centered, but not so tight as to bend or wrinkle the label stock.

6. Close the print head carriage by pressing it down into place, and then close the Toro cover.

When loading supplies, you can also flip the cutter module down to provide more room. Simply pull the top edge of the cutter module away from the rest of the Toro; it will rest in its lowered position. If you lower the cutter module while changing supplies, be sure to raise it back into place before closing the Toro lid.

DuraLabel.com | 800.788.5572

8.3 Battery Maintenance | 17

8. Battery (Optional)

Toro’s battery is an optional accessory. The Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery lets you design and print labels on the go, even without an AC power supply. Typically, a fully-charged battery will allow for about three hours of continuous printing, or 30 hours of sleep mode.

A Toro battery can usually be fully recharged in about three hours. During charging, make sure to put the battery on a clean, dry surface, away from heat or direct sunlight. Because Lithium batteries self-discharge over time, it is recommended that you fully recharge the battery at least once every three months.

8.1 Battery Loading

The battery mounts into the back of the Toro. Remove the battery cover door by pushing the slider downward and pulling the door away. Position the battery so the cut-outs are aligned and the contacts are in position with the contact interface. Push the battery in until it locks into place.

8.2 Charging the Battery

The Toro battery should be charged only with the charging unit provided. Plug the charging unit into the Toro battery and place the battery on a clean and dry surface. Then, plug the charger into an AC outlet. The light on top of the charger will glow red. When the charger light turns green, the charge is complete. A typical charging time is three hours; do not leave the battery connected to the charger for more than 24 hours at a time.

8.3 Battery Maintenance

When the battery is not in use, keep it in a cool, dry place, away from heat or direct sunlight. Do not disassemble your Toro battery. Do not let the metal battery pins come into contact with another metal surface. If you notice any unusual odor, leakage, or swelling in the Toro battery, discontinue use and contact your DuraLabel representative.

18 | 9. Cleaning Your Toro

DuraLabel.com | 800.788.5572

9. Cleaning Your Toro

IMPORTANT! Always turn the power OFF and remove the battery before cleaning or

performing maintenance. Wait at least 5 seconds before turning ON the power. Basic cleaning of the print head, cutter and platen roller will extend the life of the printer and allow crisp, clear labels and signs with every printing.

Dust, residue, or adhesive on the print head can result in an unclear printout. Keep the top cover closed when printing.

1. Turn the printer power OFF. Remove the battery, if one is being used.

2. Open the printer cover, raise the print head mechanism, and remove the ribbon and

label supply from the printer.

3. To open a cleaning swab, place the swab between your index finger and thumb. Squeeze the swab until it snaps. Alcohol will be distributed to the cotton side of the swab.

4. Run the swab back and forth several times across the front and underside of the print head to remove any built-up adhesive, residue, or dust particles.

5. Run the wet swab between and around the gray adjustable label guides to clear any dust or adhesive build-up.

6. Finally, run the wet swab across both sides of the cutter blade by gently inserting it into the slot in the cutter module. Clean the blade from both sides. It may be easer to reach if you flip the cutter module forward for this process.

10. Troubleshooting | 19

10. Troubleshooting

For most common system errors, Toro will show an image that explains the problem and how to resolve it.

For printing errors where no error message appears, see these recommendations, or call your DuraLabel representative for support.

Toro prints my labels, but cuts them in the wrong place.

Print settings may be incorrect. Save and close your label design, and click the printer icon in the Toro taskbar to open the printer settings. Under Supply Calibration, check that the selection matches the loaded label stock:

• Continuous (a roll of uninterrupted stock)

• Black Mark (a roll of pre-printed label stock, with black marks on the backing between labels)

• Die-Cut (a roll of pre-cut labels, ready to peel off individually)

Once the setting is correct, click the Calibrate button. Toro will feed some of the supply through and re-adjust its internal sensors. (Once the feed stops, you can open the cover, raise the print head carriage, and wind the supply back in.) Apply the changes, reopen your label design, and try printing again.

Toro feeds out label stock, but nothing is printed on it.

The ribbon may be loaded facing the wrong way. Open Toro’s lid and raise the print head carriage, as if you were going to load a fresh ribbon. Make sure that the ribbon unrolls from the back of the fresh ribbon core on the underside of the print head carriage. Each ribbon has a “shiny” side and a “dull” side; the “dull” side should be showing. From the fresh ribbon core, the ribbon should pull forward to run across the metal print head and over onto the top of the ribbon take-up core. Each core should lock into place when it is properly positioned.

When you are finished correcting the supply loading, lower the print head carriage, close the cover, and try printing again.

My label is printed, but there are blank specks across the printed area.

This can be caused by dust in the printer, on the print head, or on the label stock, especially if your Toro or supplies are stored in the open. We recommend cleaning the printer after every two or three rolls of label stock; now may be a good time. It will also help to keep your supplies closed in their boxes when not in use.

20 | 8.3 Battery Maintenance

DuraLabel.com | 800.788.5572

TROUBLESHOOTING

There is a red “X” over the supply icon on the Toro main screen toolbar.

Either no label stock is loaded, or Toro is having trouble detecting the label stock. If you have label stock loaded and need to print, click on the printer icon in the Toro main screen toolbar, and click the button for “Supply Update” in the lower left corner of the Print Settings window. Toro will attempt to re-detect the supply.

The “!” light is glowing red.

Toro is not ready to print. Usually, this is because the print head carriage is not fully latched down; open the cover and press firmly on the textured areas at the top of the print head carriage. The light will change to solid green when the system is ready to print.

The “!” light is blinking red, but there is no error message on the screen.

Toro is paused. Press the Pause/Feed button on Toro’s Control Panel; the light should change to solid green, and any waiting labels should be printed.
