5. Burster Option Setup and
Operation
Proper positioning of the printer, burster, and supplies is
critical.
Place the Rewind/Burster assembly in the proper position
1.
in front of the printer. A drawing showing the correct
position for all supported printers and optional location
guides for alignment is inside the back cover.
Print or feed approximately 36 inches of labels from the
2.
printer.
Bend and separate the supply along the perforations into
3.
individual strips for about 18 inches (Figure 12).
Figure 12

Page 16
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook
Figure 13 shows the burster with the supplies installed.
4.
Place the separator bars in their approximate working
positions (i.e. in line with the perforations). When only one
bar is needed (for two part supply), slide unused bar to the
outboard side.

Hold the hub flange and twist the hub clockwise until the
9.
paper core is tight.
Position the slot in the hub to the top.
10.
Align the leading edge of the first label on the inside strip
11.
with the slot in the hub and tape the supply to the core
(Figure 14).
