3.1.4 Butt Splice
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print head, do not
use butt splices.
The AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer is designed to allow for fast, frequent
changing and loading of tape and supplies. On this model it is quicker to re-
thread the tape than to use a butt splice.
3.2 Sending a Print Job to the Printer
In order to print labels, you must send a Print Job to the printer. The Print Job
tells the printer what label to print, what information to print on the label, and
how many labels to print.
How a Print Job gets to the printer depends on how your company system is set
up. You may be using AVERY DENNISON’s label design program PCMate
Platinum, or you may be using a special application on a PC or a mainframe.
Consult your supervisor on how your company sends Print Jobs.
