User’s Manual—SNAP™ 500 Adidas Printer

The Upper and Lower Print Stations on the AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500

printer are stationary. The main feed is the print roller located in the upper print

station. (See Figure 10). The rollers swing open and closed for threading and

printing. These rollers are held in position for printing with latches on both the

inside and outside end of the rollers. This roller must be closed in order for the

tape to feed through the printer.

NOTE: The upper print roller must be closed in order for

the printer to operate. If you are printing two-sided labels,

both print rollers must be closed in order for the printer to

operate. If a two-sided label design is sent to the printer

and the lower print roller is open, the Error LED will light

up and the printer will stop. If you are printing single-

sided labels, the lower print roller should remain open so

the ink rolls will not rotate.

The Auxiliary Feed is the assembly located in front of the knife. It works with

the main feed or the upper print roller to maintain proper tension of the tape as it

moves through the printer from the top print station into the Knife and Nip

rollers. The Auxiliary Feed has a knob, which is used to manually advance the

material through the knife, the nip roller, and into the stacker.

New rolls of Supply Tape are sealed and packaged individually. When you are

ready to load the tape, remove the packaging and follow the steps below.

1. Remove the transparent tape holding the end of the supply tape to the outer

part of the roll. To avoid damaging the rollers or print heads, use scissors to

cut off any portion of the supply tape that has adhesive on it.

2. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to retract the ”fingers.”

3. To install the tape supply roll, begin with the leading end at the top of the

roll.

4. Slide the tape supply roll onto the Tape Arbor (see Figure 9).

5. Rotate the knob clockwise quickly to extend the retraction fingers that hold

the supply roll in place.

6. With both print rollers in the open position, pull the tape from the top of the

supply roll.
