3 3.0 Introduction This chapter explains how to connect your printer, load media (and ribbon, if equipped for thermal transfer), and print a configuration label. 3.1 Connecting the Printer 3.1.1 Power Connection The printer is powered by an external power supply that connects as shown below. Ensure that the power supply shipped with your printer is compatible with your electrical service.
3.1.2 Interface Connection The printer can be connected to the host via a serial or parallel cable. 3.1.3 Interface Cables An interface cable is necessary to connect the printer to the host. The interface between the printer and the host will be either a serial RS-232C or parallel cable. Cable configurations for serial (RS-232C) interfaces are shown below, (contact your distributor for part numbers and ordering information).
3.2 Adjusting the Media Sensor The printer is available with a Fixed Media Sensor or an Adjustable Media Sensor (AMS). To identify the type of sensor in your printer: 1. Open the cover. 2. Push down the Printhead Latch and raise the Printhead Carrier Assembly. The Adjustable Media Sensor, shown below, may need to be positioned. Adjustable Media Sensor The sensor needs to be positioned so that the printer can detect the presence of media and the label top-of-form (TOF).
To properly position the sensor you will need to know where the TOF mark is located on your media. (For more information on media, see Specifications). Depending of your media type, take a measurement from the leftjustified media edge across to the center of the TOF mark. The following example illustrates the measurement of notched media. Note: Reflective marks are placed on the underside of the media.
Position the Adjustable Media Sensor as follows: 1. Based on the measurement that you made earlier, choose the Reference Letter that best corresponds to the location of your TOF mark. Reference Letters Setting Window Top Slide Bottom Slide Setting Window Reference Letters 2. Use a finger to move the Bottom Slide until your selected Reference Letter appears in the Setting Window of the slide. 3.
3.3 Loading Media 1. Slide the Roll Media, (up to 8” O.D.) onto the Media Spindle. 2. Insert the Media Spindle (with media) into the External Media Stand. 3.

4 4.0 Introduction The Front Panel consists of three lights and three dualfunction buttons. The functions of these lights and controls are listed below. 4.1 Lights Both the POWER and PAUSED lights will be on during power-up initialization, or “warm reset”.
4.2 Buttons The three buttons perform different functions based on the printer’s operational mode. The printer operates in one of the following modes: Normal: Normal printer functions (i.e., Pause, Feed, and Cancel). See Section 4.3. Printer Setup: Allows setting of the printer’s operating menu items (i.e., Media Settings, Communications, and Options). See Section 4.4. Calibration: 4.3 Allows the printer to ‘calibrate’ the media for sensing of the Top of Form. See Section 4.6.
4.4 Printer Setup Mode - Button Functions In ‘Printer Setup Mode’ the printer’s buttons control the setting of the printer’s operating menu items such as Media Settings, Communications, and Options. Note: It is recommended that the Printer Setup Mode not be entered while in Peel Mode or with the optional Present Sensor enabled. Depending on label size this can cause unpredictable results.
4.4.1 Printer Setup Menu List The sample label below is the Printer Setup Menu List. This label shows all of the printer’s current values for each menu item that can be modified using the front panel. The number far left of the Menu Item corresponds to its position in the Menu List, for selection by pressing . For example to “Direct Select” the BAUD RATE Menu Item press and hold the button for 7 flashes of the FAULT light; for the TOF GAIN item hold for 12 flashes, etc.
4.4.2 Menu Items and Values The table below lists all the menu items and their possible values in the ‘Printer Setup Procedure’. 1) MEDIA TYPE 2) SENSOR TYPE Sets printing for either direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (ribbon) stock. Select the sensor type that matches your media’s top-of-form mark.
9) CONTROL CODES 10) CONT FORM LENGTH Allows code selection listed in Programmer’s manual. This command sets the page size (label length) when the printer’s ‘SENSOR TYPE’ is set to continuous media. Possible Values: * (STD) STANDARD CODES (ALT) ALTERNATE CODES Possible Values: Range: 0 – 9999; default = *100 Units: .01 inch 11) OOS MAXVOLT 12) TOF GAIN Sets the sensor reading that can indicate OOS, (out of stock condition). Sets Top of Form (TOF) Gain value.
17) INTERNAL MODULE Sets the number of 4K Byte blocks allocated for the internal RAM module. Possible Values: 0 – 255; default = *128 19) ALIGNMENT LENGTH (see Section 4.5 for more information) Leading edge to leading edge distance of two successive labels. Must be set when ‘LABEL ALIGNMENT’ is set to Yes. Possible Values: 0 – 999; default =100* Units: .01 inch 18) LABEL ALIGNMENT (see Section 4.5 for more information) Sets Label Alignment Method.
4.4.3 Example of Changing Baud Rate The following is a step by step example for modifying the Printer Setup. Although this example will show how to modify only the Baud Rate value from a default of 9600 bps to 19200 bps the same procedure can be used to change any of the printer’s menu items. Note: It is recommended that the Printer Setup Mode not be entered while in Peel Mode or with the optional Present Sensor enabled. Depending on label size this can cause unpredictable results. 1.
6. To confirm that your changes have been made press the + buttons simultaneously, this will print the Database Configuration Label. The label should show the new Baud Rate value of 19200. FRI AUGUST 024, 2001 19:29 236 VER: E4204 - 04.
4.5 Label Alignment The Label Alignment function is intended for applications with short label lengths that result in wasted labels (between the media sensor and printhead) when printing the first label after changing media or at powerup. This is accomplished with providing the printer with a ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ which can be manually measured and entered (see Section 4.5.1) or automatically calculated using a Forced Alignment, (see Section 4.5.2).
4.5.2 Label Alignment = AUTO In this mode the printer can calculate the ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ by performing a FORCED ALIGNMENT. This eliminates the need to physically measure the ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ as in 4.5.1 Label Alignment = YES. This feature is usually preferred for applications requiring frequent changing of media of different label lengths. To perform a FORCED ALIGNMENT, press and hold the FEED button (approx. 4 seconds). The printer will measure and save the label length and then align the label.
4.5.4 Label Alignment Recommended Settings Label Alignment is intended for use with label length less than the distance between the printhead and the edge sensor, or where label wastage at power-up is a concern. Label Alignment is not recommended for label stock lengths greater than 6.5” or for label stock containing 2 or more form lengths. Label Stock Continuous 6.5” or less 6.
4.5.5 Label Alignment Troubleshooting Problem Description Attempting to perform Label Alignment results in no paper movement. Possible Cause With the Present Sensor enabled, Label Alignment can not be performed without a Label Length. Solution Set Label Alignment to AUTO, press and hold FEED till paper moves for automatic Label Alignment Length measurement. ~OR~ Re-measure Label Alignment Length, use Menu Setup to set new length, ensure desired length has been set. First label wasted during alignment.
Problem Description Possible Cause Label Alignment is incorrect. Pressing FEED successively results in a short label length, 1inch. Label Alignment Length is not correct. The default Label Alignment Length is 1.00”, and will result in this behavior when any larger label length is used without setting the appropriate length Label Alignment Length is not correct. The default Label Alignment Length is 1.
+ Problem Description Possible Cause Solution Tear Mode selected but label stop position (present position) is not far enough forward. Another present position has been determined. Enabling the Present Sensor causes the label stop position (present position) to be approximately 0.1” behind the peel bar. Disable the Present Sensor. ~OR~ Ensure the host computer is not providing a Present Distance shorter than is required for the Tear Bar.
4.6 Calibration Mode In ‘Calibration Mode’ the printer’s buttons allows the printer to ‘calibrate’ the media for sensing of the Top of Form either automatically or manually. Notes: If at any time you wish to discard your changes and revert back to the previous calibration simply turn off power to the printer. Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see Section 4.4.2; also, be sure the printhead is latched down and the cover is closed.
4.6.1 Media Sensor Calibration Procedure The ‘Media Sensor Calibration Procedure’ allows the operator to recalibrate the selected media sensor (gap or reflective) for a particular media. Follow the steps below to calibrate your sensor. Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see Section 4.4.2; also, ensure that the printhead is latched down and the cover is closed. 1. Hold the button and power-up the printer.
4.6.2 Auto Media Calibration Procedure The ‘Auto Media Calibration Procedure’ allows the operator to automatically obtain the optimum (TOF Low and TOF Delta) values for a particular media. These values are useful for media (usually preprinted media) that continues to suffer sensing problems after the Media Sensor has been manually calibrated. This operation feeds 10 inches of media using the current Media Sensor Calibration settings and calculates the TOF Delta and TOF Low values to be used.
4.7 Internal Labels The following sections explain each of the printer’s internally generated test and configuration labels. 4.7.1 Database Configuration and Dot Check Label To print the Database Configuration and Dot Check Labels: With the printer on, loaded with media (at least 4 inches wide), and ribbon (if printing in thermal-transfer).
The second label printed is the Dot Check Label. This label is used to determine whether the printhead is in need of replacement. 'Good' and 'Faulty' Dot Check Labels are shown below: Good Test Label: Even pattern consistency indicates that the printhead is operating normally. Faulty Test Label: Streaks in the pattern indicate a dirty or faulty printhead (see Chapter 5).
4.7.2 Test Label This label is intended to be used to evaluate the current printer setup for print quality, and label tracking and positioning. To print the Test Label: With the printer loaded with media (at least 4 inches wide), and ribbon (if printing in thermal-transfer), simultaneously press the + buttons.

5 5.0 Introduction This chapter covers the cleaning, adjusting, and some troubleshooting tips involved with your printer. In addition, the following table provides a recommended cleaning schedule for the various parts of your printer. Area Printhead Media Path Method Turn off the printer before cleaning the printhead. Use solvent* on a cotton swab to clean the printhead from end to end. Turn the power off. Rotate the platen roller and clean it thoroughly with solvent* and a cotton swab.
5.1 Cleaning the Printhead Warning Turn ‘off’ the printer and unplug the unit from the AC outlet before cleaning the printhead. 1. Turn ‘off’ the printer and open the cover. 2. Push the Printhead Latch down and raise the Printhead Carrier Assembly. Allow the Printhead to cool. 3. Using a Cotton Swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol, rub the Cotton Swab along the Printhead.
5.2 Media Width Adjustment A Thumbwheel on the side of the printhead carrier assembly allows the printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. When adjusting for narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (clockwise); conversely, when adjusting for wide media move it to the right (counterclockwise). Note: The numbers on the Thumbwheel are meant to serve only as reference points and do not correspond to media widths. To perform the media width adjustment: 1. Load media into the printer.
5.3 Ribbon Width Adjustment The adjustable ribbon handler feature allows adjustment to the ribbon supply hub that provides optimum tension when using different widths and/or types of media and ribbon. To adjust: 1. Turn ‘off’ the printer. 2. Hold the Hub and rotate the Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob to meet your media/ribbon widths based on the table below. Ensure that the Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob is turned fully to the clockwise or counterclockwise position.
5.4 Fine Printhead Adjustment A fine printhead adjustment set screw is located on top of the printhead carrier assembly that can be used for adjusting print quality. This adjustment is set at the factory and should not need further adjusting; however, with different types and thickness of media some adjustment may be necessary. To adjust the printhead, turn the Set Screw until optimum print quality is obtained (some trial and error may be necessary). Do not over tighten the Set Screw.
5.5 Printhead Replacement Removal: Notes: It is recommended that the printhead only be replaced by a certified repair technician. Always follow proper Electro Static Discharge procedures when replacing the printhead. If equipped, it is not necessary to remove the Ribbon Handler Assembly (if equipped). An access hole in the assembly is provided for access. 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Loosen the Printhead Screw until it is free from the printhead.
5.6 Darkness Adjustment The Darkness Adjustment (located on the rear of the printer) allows the operator to adjust the print contrast on the printed label. Turning the Darkness Adjustment clockwise will make the print darker, while turning it counterclockwise will lighten the print. Note: Large increases in the ‘Darkness Adjustment’ can shorten printhead life. If you need to increase the print contrast by a large amount, instead increase the Heat value and/or slow the Print Speed through your software.
5.8 Downloading Firmware and Fonts The printer stores its Boot Loader, Operating Program, and Font in Flash memory on the main PCB. This configuration allows updates and/or new features to the printer. 1. Identify the desired firmware revision from the Brady website and download the desired version on to your computer’s hard drive or a floppy disk. 2. With the printer’s power turned ‘on’, the printer is now ready to accept the new firmware data. Using the DOS copy command enter: copy filename.
6 6.0 Introduction Occasionally situations occur that requires some troubleshooting skills. Possible problem situations and potential solutions are listed in this section. While not every situation is addressed, you may find some of these tips helpful. After the correction action is taken press the FEED button to clear the alarm.
Unacceptable print quality: • Dirty printhead. Clean the printhead (see Chapter 5). • The printhead temperature is too high. Use the software control to adjust the Heat Setting, Print Speed, or adjust the darkness adjustment located on the back of the printer. • The incorrect ribbon/paper combination is being used, check the ribbon type being used. • Faulty Printhead, replace it (see Chapter 5) or call for service.
Skips every other label (Print quality is good but skips every other label). • The label is formatted too close to the top edge of the form. Leave white space equal to 8-dot rows at the top of the label, approximately .02" (.5mm). • The media is not calibrated (see Chapter 4). • If equipped, the Adjustable Media Sensor may need to be repositioned (see Chapter 3). • The media sensor or media sensor circuitry may be defective, call for service.
Label advances 1-2 inches before a fault indication • The ribbon is installed incorrectly. Make sure that the dull side (side with ink) is facing the paper. • A bad ribbon/paper combination is resulting in an insufficient amount of friction between paper and ribbon. Ensure that the correct type of ribbon is being used. Label advances 16 inches before a fault indication • The media is not loaded properly, see Chapter 5.
