Loading Media
Preparing Media
In case media roll may become dirty or dusty during shipment,
handling, or storage, firstly remove the outside length of media, which
helps to avoid dragging adhesive or dirty media between the print
head and platen roller. When loading media, it must be placed onto
the media hangers.
Placing Media Roll
1. Open Top Cover of the printer.

Printer Operations
Note:
If printer is with Argox PPLB printer language, printer will enter
Dump mode after printing configuration. In Dump mode, all
characters will be printed in 2 columns: the right shows characters
received from your system, and the left are the corresponding
hexadecimal values of the characters. It allows users or engineers
to verify and debug the program.
To return to normal operation mode from Dump mode, press the
FEED button again. Another way is to turn off printer power, and
then restart printer.
Printing Media Calibration & Configuration
Before connecting the printer to your computer, to make sure that
the printer works properly, conduct media calibration and print a
self-test/ configuration label.
Steps to Start Media Calibration & Configuration
1. Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top cover of
the printer is closed.
2. Turn off the printer power.
3. Press and hold the FEED button while turning on the power,
until printer motor is activated.
4. Media Calibration is performed while the printer automatically
feeds the label stock for a certain length; then the printer
motor suspends for one second and then prints out a
configuration profile. Release the FEED button as soon as
printer starts to print.

Resetting Printer to Factory Defaults
Note:
The printer factory default settings are stored in printer’s flash;
these settings remain stored, without being erased even the printer
power is disconnected.
Follow the steps below to reset printer to default settings:
1. Turn on the printer and wait till both "Ready" indicator and
"Power" indicator stay solid green.
2. Press the "Feed" button for 5 seconds, and the "Ready"
indicator and "Power" indicator will go off in order.
(at this step, if the “FEED” button is pressed for 10 seconds,
printer will reset first >> feed blank labels as media
calibration >> and then print configuration/ self-test labels.)
3. Once "Power" indicator becomes lit again, release the
FEED button.
4. "Ready" indicator will then become lit, too. At this moment,
the printer has resumed its factory default settings

Note:
1. You must insert the power supply’s barrel connector into the
power jack on the back of the printer before connecting
communication cables.
2. This printer complies with FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15,
for Class A Equipment, for use with fully shielded six-foot data
cables. Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may increase
radiated emissions above Class A limits.
Interfaces and Requirements
Argox OS-2130D and OS-2130DE printers come with a nine-pin
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data
interface, a USB interface, Cash drawer interface and Ethernet. A
variety of interface options are suitable for versatile applications:
OS-2130D: Cash drawer, USB, and Serial interfaces
OS-2130DE: Ethernet, Cash drawer, USB, and Serial interfaces
USB Interface Requirements

Caring for Your Printer
Print Head Maintenance Guide
To keep the Print Head remain in the best conditions and efficiency
and to extend duration for use, regular cleaning action is needed:
Cleaning Interval
It’s strongly recommended to regularly clean print heads at least
when changing every one label roll (in direct thermal printing mode).
In addition, if printers are operated under critical applications and
environments, or if it’s found that print quality is degraded, please
clean print heads more frequently.
Cleaning Material
Surface of print head’s heating element is very fragile. To prevent
from any possible damage, please use the Printhead Cleaning Pen
or soft cloth/ cotton buds with “Ethanol” or “industry alcohol” to clean
print head surface.
It’s strongly recommended to wear hand gloves during cleaning
progress.
Do not touch print head surface by bare hands or with any hard
equipment.
Water or spit should be kept away in case of corrosion on heating
elements.
51
OS-2130D & OS-2130DE User’s Manual
Page 53
Cleaning Direction
When cleaning the print head, always wipe in One-Way Direction from Left to Right only, or, from Right to Left only, to clean “Heating
Line” of print head gently without excessive stress.
Do not wipe back and forth, to avoid dust or dirt on cleaning cotton
