Connect the power cord to a grounded outlet. Connecting the Power Cord 1. Push the female end of the power cord into the power receptacle. 2.
Trying Out the Printer The power cord is plugged in, the printer is connected to the computer. Now you can turn the power on. Power On • Press on the printers' ON/OFF power switch. The switch is located on the rear of the printer next to the line cord receptacle. Press on the symbol "I" (ON) position. The printer LCD menu will display PRINTER INITIALIZING and then automatically go ON LINE. The Address Printer uses an Ink Jet Cartridge for printing.
Trying Out the Printer Caution! The ink in the print cartridge may be harmful if swallowed. Keep new and used cartridges out of reach of children. Discard empty print cartridges in the proper manner. 1. Remove Cartridge from the shipping container by peeling top cover off. Be careful not to touch the copper ribbon. 2. Gently remove both pieces of tape covering the ink nozzles on the print cartridge. Be careful not to touch the copper nozzles. 3.
Trying Out the Printer 1. Grasp the blue cartridge top while placing your thumb on the cartridge cradle. Pull the cartridge top toward you until the cartridge "pops" loose. 2. Lift the print cartridge out of the cradle.
Trying Out the Printer Recheck that all the necessary components of the printer are installed. • Is the Wire Form Assembly installed? • Is the Sliding Fence installed? • Is the printer plugged into a power outlet? • Does the printer have an Ink Jet Cartridge installed? • Is the printer connected to the computer? Preparing the Media Now that all the parts of the printer are installed the printer needs to be adjusted to work with the media.
Trying Out the Printer The printer is designed to feed and print on a variety of media with various finishes and coatings. The sharpness of the print quality will vary with different media types, depending on how absorbent the media is, as well as other qualities. The best results can be achieved using white wove bonded stock. The printing quality will be less sharp on tyvek, recycled and glossy media.
Trying Out the Printer To start a print job the feed gap should be set for each type of media used in the printer. The feed gap is the spacing between the feed rollers and the separators. Set the feed gap with a piece media by following these procedures: 1. Loosen the H Block Knob on the three H-Block Assemblies. Setting the Proper Feed Gap 2. Raise the three H-Block Assemblies up. Tighten the H Block Knobs to secure H-Block Assemblies in place. 3.
Trying Out the Printer followed the preceding steps and are experiencing feeding problem using post cards or stuffed media try the following: Post cards (.003" [0.0762 mm] thickness) - set a smaller gap between the H-Block Assemblies and the Feed Rollers. Try using a sheet of copy paper to set the feed gap. Stuffed Media - set a larger gap between the separator blocks and the feed roller. Try adding two or three, number ten (# 10) envelopes, on top of the media before setting the separators.
Trying Out the Printer • • • Wire Form Center Adjustment to eliminate skewing of the media and print. Wire Form Height Adjustment to allow the printer to feed media of varying density. Example: Rigid media is set low, light weight media is set high. Wire Form Ramp Adjustment improves the feeding of media by distributing the weight of the media stack onto the feed roller. The Feed Carriage Assembly needs to be adjusted with the Wire Form Assembly. 1.
Trying Out the Printer The Wire Form Assembly helps the printer feed the media. Use the following suggestions as a guide for setting the height of the Wire Form Assembly. When the media is: • Heavy media- set low • Light media - set high. • Rigid media - set low Wire Form Height Adjustment To adjust the Wire Form Assembly: 1. Loosen the Carriage Knob on the Feed Carriage Assembly. 2. Move the Wire Form Assembly accordingly. 3. Tighten the Carriage Knob to secure the Wire Form Assembly in place.
Trying Out the Printer Recheck your setup and adjustments: • • • • Is the feed gap set? Is the Wire Form in the center of the media? Is the Wire Form at a good height? Is the Feed Ramp beneath the edge of the media? Setting the Sliding Fence Position the Sliding Fence before stacking the bin area with media. The fence has to be close enough to the media to keep it from going in at an angle and loose enough for the media to drop down to the Feed Rollers. To properly position the fence: 1.
Trying Out the Printer 4. Put the media into the bin. Start with a few pieces to get the proper contour. The media stack should be "shingled" when loaded into the input bin with flap away from the feed roller and facing downward. Add several more pieces. Keep adding to the stack until the bin is full of media. Different sizes and types of media call for unique settings for the Print Head Holder Assembly.
Trying Out the Printer Push the Slider Assembly left or right to move the slider to a new position on the shaft. Place the Sliders to 1/4 of an inch (6.35 mm) from the left and right edges of the media. It is important to check that the Sliders do not contact any printed information on the media. If the rollers do roll over any printed areas they will act as a brush with paint and smear the print. Move the rollers in more or out more toward the nearest clear zone (non printing area of the media).
Trying Out the Printer The 5K-LE Printer is designed to give the best possible performance, but the speed can be affected by these factors. 1. The amount of memory available in the computer. 2. Whether the printer is running as a network printer Factors that Affect the Printers Performance or with a print spooler. 3. Pre-glued flaps on the media 4. Glossy or heavily waxed media. 5. Setting up margins, or sending non printable characters or blank spaces in the records. 6.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer The 5K-LE Printer is designed for trouble free service with a minimal amount of care. Periodic cleaning of the Feed Rollers, Right Hand Slider, Left Hand Slider and Lower Guide Assembly will be necessary. Preventative Maintenance for the Printer Cleaning CLEAN PRINT CARTRIDGE, INK SURFACES AND COVERS WITH PLAIN WATER. the Feed ALL RUBBER ROLLERS CAN BE CLEANED WITH ISOPROPYL, DENATURED & RUBBING Rollers ALCOHOL OR WATER ONLY.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer With use, a film and/or dust builds up on the eye of the sensor causing misfeeds of media. Periodically use compressed air to blow dust from the sensors. For caked on dust use a Q-tip to remove the dust from the eye of the sensor. Cleaning the Sensor Assembly When the Right and Left Hand Slider Rollers are adjusted over the area where the address is printed the ink will get transferred from the media onto the rollers and the surface of the sliders.
