Loading Labels

or Tags

CAUTION

Your printer can print on continuous direct thermal paper, direct thermal adhesive backed labels or non-adhesive tags. Loading either labels or tags are easy, (the feed direction of tags is different).

Refer to Appendix B for a list of supplies available from ELTRON.

DO NOT TOUCH the printhead or the electronic components under the printhead assembly.

The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead or electronic components used in this device.

CAUTION

Adhesive backed labels that DO NOT lay flat on the backing liner may jam the printer. This can cause the label to peel off the liner. The exposed edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer. Always use high quality, Eltron approved labels. Supplies can be ordered from ELTRON by calling 1(800)

344-4003.

If you should run out of labels while printing, DO NOT turn the power switch OFF (0) while reloading or data loss may result. The printer will automatically resume printing when a new label roll is loaded.

The printer is now ready for standard Thermal Transfer Printing.

Operation

Label Variations

and the

Label Sensor

Your printer is equipped with a sensor capable of detecting the gap between labels while they are being printed. This feature depends on the ability of the sensor to “see through” the label liner between labels.

Due to manufacturing differences in label stock, the sensor may have difficulty distinguishing the difference between the labels and the liner. When this occurs, the printer ERROR Indicator (AMBER/ORANGE) will switch on. The printer may stop a label in the middle. If this condition occurs, the AutoSense feature should be activated to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Also check to insure the that the command line/programs defined label length matches the label in use.

Windows Users!

Use the Windows Control Panel for Printers to select the label size that matches the labels loaded in the printer. See Appendix C.

980158-001 Rev.A

Operation

AutoSense Gap Sensor Adjustment

Load labels into the printer. Do not use the auto-dispense/peeler mode for this procedure. Press and hold the PAUSE and CANCEL control buttons with the power on. Release the CANCEL button first and then release the PAUSE button.

The printer will start feeding labels automatically. The printer will automatically adjust the gap sensor and measure the label length.

After the sensor has been adjusted, the printer will enter DUMP mode and print the standard information label.

Press the FEED button once to switch the printer back to normal operation. If the Error indicator light (continues) to glow AMBER/ORANGE, refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting information.

Cleaning The

Print Head

Step ➊ Open the printhead assembly and remove any

Figure 2-12

Locating the

Printhead

As you use your printer, the printhead may become dirty resulting in poor print quality. Whenever new labels are loaded into the printer, the print head should be cleaned with a Cleaning Pen.

Cleaning Pens (P/N 800105-001) are available directly from ELTRON. Supplies can be ordered from ELTRON by calling 1(800) 344-

4003.

Common Printing Problems Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem Solution or Reason

POWER indicator does not light GREEN when power switch is turned to the ON (1) position.

With the POWER indicator light GREEN, the printer appears to be working, but nothing is printed.

Printing is faded or poor quality.

1. Check power connections from the printer to the outlet.

1. Verify that the labels are the correct type.

2. Check that the roll is loaded with the direct thermal side facing up.

3. Check that the transfer ribbon is correctly routed and has the ink side out.

1. Clean the print head with cleaning pen.

2. Adjust print speed/darkness in software or with programming.

3. TLP2344 - Verify that the “O”command parameters match the printing mode; direct or thermal transfer printing.

Printing stops and the ERROR indicator lights AMBER/ORANGE.

1. Possible problem with label gap sensor. Perform AutoSense adjustment.

2. Possible problem with label stock. Gap between the bottom of a label and the top of the next label should be at least 1/16". For tags, see Figure A-2. Use onlyEltron approved labels and tags.

3. Possible label jam.

4. Check that the transfer ribbon and label stock are routed correctly.

5. TLP2344 - Ensure that the printer mode matches the method of printing; direct or thermal transfer printing.

6. Possible software problem. Check the printer memory configuration. Refer to the EPL2 Programming manual for the correct data syntax.

30 980158-001 Rev.A

Problem Solution or Reason

Printer cuts (melts) through the transfer ribbon. The ribbon is advancing at the same rate as the label stock.

GREEN and AMBER are

alternately flashing.

1. Verify that the printing heat is set to it’s recommended level. See Printer Media Temperature Settings, Appendix A.

1. Check for Out-of-Media condition or missing labels in the middle of a roll.

2. Check that the ribbon and label stock are correctly routed.

3. Ensure that print mode program settings match the print mode.

The printer uses a moveable sensor to detect index holes/notches in tag stock. The sensor position is indicated by the green arrow at the front of the label guide that is visible with the printhead open. The sensor can be moved by squeezing the two locking tabs, located under the label guide, andsliding the sensor in orout. For proper sensing, ensure that the sensor is aligned with the center portion of the index hole/notch.
