Optional Features External Media Rewinder For rewinding large print jobs, an external rewinder is available to handle an entire label roll. Please note, that for an external rewinder, the maximum size of the supply roll is limited to 8 in (200 mm) with a core diameter of 3 in (75 mm), or a supply roll may be up to 7.5 in (190 mm) with a core diameter of 1.6 in (40 mm). The external rewinder is mechanically linked to the Apollo by an adapter plate, but works independently through its own power supply.
PC Memory Card Apollo includes an option for using memory cards in order to permanently store graphics, fonts, databases or whole label formats. The data can be downloaded via interface. Alternatively, the printer is able to read cards which was written on using PC card drives of computers, lap-tops, etc. PCMCIA 2.1 conforming sRAM cards or Flash-EPROM cards are accepted. The maximum capacity for Apollo 1/2 is 4 MegaByte, for Apollo 3 16 MegaByte.
Print Media The Apollo can be operated in direct thermal as well as thermal transfer mode. For direct thermal mode, only use print material with a thermal-reactive coating. The print image is transferred by heating the material at the printhead, causing a reaction on the surface of the paper and, consequently, darkening the material. In thermal transfer mode, not only standard paper labels are needed but also the thermal transfer ribbon with a color surface.
Print Media for Direct Thermal Printing The print material must correspond to several important specifications, in order to ensure high quality printing, and to avoid damage to the printhead or early wear. Using labels which we have tested and which we recommend to our customers, will guarantee a gentle treatment of the printhead. If you want to use material by another supplier, please note the following requirements regarding the condition of thermal printer paper : 1.
Label/ Tag Media Specifications Label and tag media to be used for the Apollo can be found in the table below. Note this information before ordering your labels. G H K E I D A B L C F M Fig. 1 Label formats Item A B C D E F G H Label width Width of silicon liner Label length Gap between labels Label thickness Thickness of silicon liner Distance of the first printing position from the edge of the silicon liner Distance of the label sensor from the edge of the silicon liner MINIMUM MAXIMUM .
Transfer Ribbon The choice of transfer ribbon plays an important role in the quality of print image that can be produced, and it also directly affects the longevity of the printhead. CAUTION ! Poor quality transfer ribbon can lead to premature deterioration of the printhead ! The ribbon material must be as anti-static as possible. This is because the extremely thin surface coating on the printhead can be damaged by a build up of electrostatic charges.
2 General Safety Instructions CAUTION ! - The printers of the Apollo series are built exclusively to print labels and tags, continuous paper, etc. Do not use other materials than listed in Chapter 1. - Connect the printer only to an outlet with the correct voltage ! The printer is configured for either 230V or 115V power supply, which can be switched using the input voltage selector at the back of the printer. Connect only to a power outlet with a grounded contact.

7 Adjustments Concerning the Labels Adjustment of the Label Edge Sensor 2 1 Fig. 7 a Adjustment of the label edge sensor To accommodate a variety of print jobs, the position of the label edge sensor (1) can be adjusted at right angles to the path of the paper feed. This setting is particularly useful if the required labels are either narrow, or have punch holes or reflective markings, or deviate from the square or rectangular shape.
Adjustment of the Printhead Support 1 4 1 2 3 Apollo 1 4 3 2 Apollo 2/3 Fig. 7 b Adjustment of the printhead support When printing narrow labels (width less than 2.5 in or 60 mm), it is possible that the printhead will come into direct contact with the drive roller. This will lead to premature wear on the printhead. In addition, the printhead will be at a slight angle to the label, thus, the uneven pressure may result in an inconsistent image density from one edge of the label to the other.
Adjustment of the Transfer Ribbon 1 2 Apollo 1/2 3 1 4 2 Apollo 3 4 3 4 Fig. 7 c Adjustment of the transfer ribbon If creases, lines or black patches appear in the print image resulting in a poor print quality, this may be caused by wrinkles in the transfer ribbon (1). To remove the wrinkles, the tension of the ribbon should be made even from the left to the right by moving the ribbon shield (3) up or down. 1. Loosen the adjustment screws (4). 2.
8 Control Panel The front control panel of the Apollo is fitted with 4 function keys with indicator LEDs, and a 2x16 character digital LCD display. Fig. 8 Front control panel The control panel display constantly provides the operator with the actual information concerning the current printer mode and label processing. The indicator LEDs support the information shown in the display by indicating which keys have to be pressed. (e.g.

Country/Land The Parameter "Country" (or "Land") allows the LCD display language to be set, which also dictates the format of date and time used for the printer display as well as for printing. The formats of date and time used for the printout can be altered via software. The language that the prompts on the LCD are displayed in cannot be altered through software, only with the front panel.
The following table shows the specific settings for the date format and the time format of all countries available.

Transfer Print The parameter "Transfer print" is used to set the Apollo to the print mode, either direct thermal printing or thermal transfer printing. This setting has an influence on two factors. On one hand, in thermal transfer mode the printer works at a lower heat level compared to the direct thermal printing mode. On the other hand, the ribbon sensor is only active in thermal transfer printing mode. NOTICE ! This parameter can also be changed via software.
Label Sensor The printers of the Apollo series offer different methods for recognizing the front edge of the label. In most cases, the label edge sensor photocell can be used in the see-through mode ("Gap sensor" mode), where the different transparency of the material is used to distinguish between the labels and the gaps. In certain cases, for instance when pre-printed continuous paper is used, the label edge can also be recognized through reflective marks.
Interface The settings of this parameter determine the method of communication between printer and computer. Therefore, the type of interface and, if necessary, the baud rate, and the protocol or network address can be specified.

Cut Position Using the optional cutter, the "Cut position" parameter allows you to alter the distance between the cutting edge and the rear edge of the label. Normally, with the initial offset value of "0" the cutting edge is in the middle of the gap between two labels. Adjustments have to be carried out only once after a cutter has been installed. (range from -.33 to +.33 in or -8.4mm to +8.
Peel Position Using the optional present sensor, the "Peel position" parameter allows you to alter the position of the dispensed label relative to the dispense edge. Normally, with the initial offset value of "0" the label is removed from the carrier ribbon until only a .08 in or 2 mm wide part of the label still sticks on the ribbon. Adjustments have to be carried out only once when a present sensor is being installed. (range from -.33 to +.33 in or -8.4 mm to +8.
Printhead Position The "Printhead position" parameter defines the location of the print image on the label in x- and y-direction. The parameter should only be altered if you are using the same label formats on several printers, and you find the print image located differently on the labels when they were printed on another printer. X-Offset With this parameter the location of the print image can be shifted across to the label path. It is possible to set a shifting untiI .33 in (8.

Heat Level The parameter "Heat level" enables the printer to adapt to possible differences in the thermal properties of different printheads. The parameter scale is from -9 to +9. A previous adjustment has already been carried out in the factory. In the event of replacing the printhead, the setting possibly has to be adjusted. NOTICE ! To adjust the printer to current print jobs, it is recommended that you alter the heat level parameter via software. (e.g.
Printer Info The "Printer info" parameter provides information about the firmware. Furthermore, information about the cumulative length of printed media as well as the number of operating hours are shown. 8 Heat level Printer info Printer info Version xxxxxxx 9 Printer info Printer info xxxxxx m/ xxxx h 10 Set date Fig. 9 k Printer info display cab - Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.
Set Date The "Set date" parameter allows you to change the system date of the Apollo. The date format shown depends on the selected "Country" parameter. Regardless of the format, the order of data to be changed (day - month - year) always follows the same routine as shown below. (Figure 9 l) The date range available is from January 1, 1970, to December 31, 2069. If an invalid date entry is made, the display shows "Invalid input!" After pressing the key the parameter may be set again.
Set Time The "Set time" parameter allows you to change the system time of the Apollo. The time format shown in the display depends on the selected "Country" parameter. Time changes in the software will only influence the printout but not affect the system time of the printer. The changed time will neither be shown in the display nor be stored in the printer setup. The current field to be changed is flashing in the display. Minute Hour 10 Set date Set time 23.xx.xx Set time xx.59.
Character Set Before starting to operate the Apollo, the "Character set" of the printer should be adapted to the character set of the computer. Adjustment via software is not possible, however, for characters which are not included in the selected fonts the Unicode character table can be used. The character set tables are included in Appendix A.
Format Card The "Format card" facility may be used to delete all stored data from a memory card, for instance PC card, PCMCIA card, etc. (optional) The delete process will format the card. Therefore, this option may also be used to prepare new memory cards for operation. 12 Character set Format card No 13 Format card Format card Yes 14 Copy memory card Fig. 9 o Format card xxxx yyyy OK xxxx ...

Backfeed In the cut and dispense mode, the material will be stopped in a position where the front edge of the following label has already been forwarded over the print line. The Apollo will carry out a backfeed of the label material from its cut/ dispense position to the print line. Thus, the next label can be printed all at once. The backfeed will be performed independent of the label design if the parameter is set on "always".
Debug Mode The "Debug mode" represents a tool for the firmware programmer. It will help to recognize faults and their possible sources beyond standard error messages. For standard use of the printer, the parameter should always be switched OFF. Default Setting : Debug mode OFF 15 Backfeed Selection Debug mode Off 16 Debug mode Debug mode On Confirmation Debug mode xxx Yes 17 Tear-off positio Debug mode xxx No Fig. 9 r Set "Debug mode" 72 cab - Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.
Tear-off Position If the "Tear-off position" is active, an additional feed forwards will take place after completion of the print job. This makes it possible to cut off the last label at the tear-off plate. After starting a new print job, first the label material will be fed back until the front edge of the first label is located at the print line. If the parameter is OFF, the label dispense stops immediately after the last label has completely passed the print line.
Pause Reprint After completion of a print job, the print of the last label may be repeated by pressing the key. This function may be switched ON or OFF in the "Pause reprint" parameter of the setup mode.

After switching on, or completing the system test or print jobs, the printer is in ONLINE mode. Pressing the key will switch into OFFLINE mode where the display shows the status information on five different pages which are accessible by repeatedly pressing the key.
Printer info 4: 0000 / 3 / 5 / C Fig. 11 d Printer info display 4 The fourth page of the info display contains coded information on the configuration of the printer and the internal test results in the format "xxxx / y / z / C". xxxx Result of the system test The four-digit hexadecimal number contains (coded) hardware faults. The figure is the same as in the printout of the self test. For fault encoding see code Table 10 in chapter 10 "Self Test".
12 Monitor Mode/ ASCII Dump Mode If programming directly, the monitor mode provides a method to print control sequences which were received at the interface. The commands will be printed in text format depending on the selected character set. Error messages will be printed directly behind the fault, e.g. for unknown commands. In monitor mode, the Apollo will not recognize gaps between labels nor control the ribbon feed. NOTICE ! The font used for printouts in monitor mode is suitable to send by facsimile.
Example of ASCII Dump Mode The following figures show the "normal" appearance of a printed label, and the appearance of the same label when its commands are printed in ASCII Dump mode.

13 Options External Rewinder To handle large print jobs, an external rewinder is available which allows you to rewind complete rolls of label material. The maximum size of the media supply roll is 8 in (200 mm) with a core diameter of 3 in (75 mm), or a roll of 7.5 in (190 mm) with a core of 1.5 in (40 mm). The rewinder requires a separate power outlet for its operation. Delivery Contents The rewinder is packed separately from the printer.
Safety Instructions CAUTION ! The printer must be powered OFF before mounting the rewinder. During operation, the rotating axle is openly accessible ! Therefore, keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away from the moving parts ! Before connecting the rewinder to the power supply, make sure the voltage selected on the power module corresponds with the supply voltage ! Selecting the Method of Rewinding The external rewinder allows rewinding of labels in both ways, inside and outside winding. 1 Fig.
Connecting the Rewinder to the Power Supply The rewinder operates with a supply voltage of 230V/ 50Hz or 115V/ 60Hz. CAUTION ! Before connecting the rewinder to the power supply, make sure that the voltage selected on the power supply module is the same as your main power supply ! 1 - Power supply connector 2 - Power switch 3 - Voltage selector cover 1 2 3 Fig. 13 c Power supply module of the external rewinder The current voltage setting of the power module is visible in the lid window (3).

Cutter Assembly With the optional cutter assembly installed, labels or endless media may be cut off immediately after being printed. The cutter is controlled and powered by the peripheral port of the Apollo. The firmware of the printer allows a backfeed of the label stock so that it is always possible to print the last label in its entirety before it is cut off. The cutter assembly is delivered in a separate package.
The Apollo is delivered with the tear-off plate (5) installed. Before mounting the cutter, the tear-off plate has to be removed : 1. Switch the printer OFF. 2. Feed the label stock into the Apollo in such a way that the leading edge of the first label is protruding slightly beyond the printhead (1). 3. Turn the printhead lever (2) counter-clockwise until it stops. 4. Remove the tear-off plate (5) from the guide holes (3). 5. Slide the cutter (4) into the guide holes (3) . 6.
Internal Rewinder M This option is available for Apollo 3 only. Apollo 3/200M and Apollo 3/300M are designed in that manner that the internal rewinder can be added by the operator in necessary. Using the internal rewinder and the rewind guide plate or the present sensor the printer may be operated in the rewind or peel-off mode. Safety Precaution WARNING !

Cut- / Peel-off Adapter By using the cut/peel-off adapter it is possible, to operate the Apollo with cutter assembly or present sensor in a special mode, where the print of one label can be started by an external start signal. In the peel-off mode, after removing a label from the peel-off position the use of the adapter avoids the immediate print of the next label. In the cut mode the print job can be divided in single prints.
Pin 3/4 - Transistor outputs of an optocoupler ( Pin3 - collector, Pin4 - emitter ). If the adapter is used with the present sensor, the state of the transistor shows the presence of a label in the peel-off position. If there is a label, the transistor is blocked so that no current can flow between the pins. CAUTION ! The current at the pins 3 and 4 has to be limited externally to 10mA. Otherwise the output will be destroyed.
Memory Cards The printers of the Apollo series provide an option for using memory cards to permanently save graphics, fonts, complete label formats, or database information. Data transfer may be performed via interface. Alternatively, the printer is able to read from cards which has been written on in PC card drives of lap-tops or other computers, etc. The Apollo is able to read from PCMCIA version 2.1 compatible sRAM cards or Flash-EPROM cards.
Installation of the Memory Card 1 2 Fig. 13 t Installation of the memory card Fig. 13 u Connecting side NOTICE ! At the connecting side of the card there are different guides on the top and the bottom which make it impossible to insert the card incorrectly. Insert the card (1) that way into the slot (2), that the one-rail guide is at the upper and the two-rail guide at the lower side of the card . cab - Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.
Formatting the Memory Card For operation, the memory card first has to be structured internally in a certain way. Normally, memory cards are already pre-formatted in a suitable manner. If the card you are using is not formatted at all, the Apollo will bring up one of the messages "Unknown card" or "Structural err." Then, you may format the card using one of the following methods : 1. Formatting the card using the Apollo setup command "Format card". (see Chapter 9) 2.
Printing from a Memory Card NOTICE ! Using a memory card provides the opportunity to print without a connection of the Apollo to a computer. Follow the instructions below, after the card has been installed and the printer has been switched ON : 1. Switch printer into OFFLINE mode by pressing the 2. After pressing the key. key, the file name of the first label saved on the card will be shown. 3. Using the key and the key, you may scroll up and down the contents of the card.
Keyboard Adapter The keyboard adapter option offers to connect the Apollo to a standard PC keyboard or any other compatible input device (e.g. a bar code scanner) via its serial interface. Using the keyboard, print jobs of an internal PC card may be loaded and variable data may be altered. Input data requests as well as data received from the keyboard will be shown in the display of the Apollo.
Key Assignment The Apollo can easily be adjusted to the keyboard configuration of the particular country by using the setup parameter "Country". For each of the available settings the Apollo has a different table of key assignment, which, generally, complies with the assignment under Microsoft DOS. The [ALTGR] key has no function. Therefore, all signs which are located on the right hand side of the key opposite of the normal characters (e.g. { } [ ] \) can be generated by pressing the [ALT] key.

Pin Assignment of the Parallel Interface Connector The Apollo provides a 36 pin connector for the parallel Centronics interface. Pin 18 Pin 1 Pin 36 Pin 19 Fig.
Centronics Interface Cable The cables used for Centronics interface connectors are standard cables, so that normally there are no problems with the external control of the Apollo. In the event of any difficulties, consult the manufacturer of your computer on the pin assignment of the computer's interface. Use the pin assignment of the printer as shown in Table B-1 to obtain a suitable cable. cab - Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.
Pin Assignment of the Peripheral Port To control different options the Apollo also provides a 15 pin SUB-D connector at the front of the printer. Pin 8 Pin 1 Pin 15 Pin 9 Fig.
Appendix C - Error Messages/ Problem Solution The following section describes possible errors and their suggested solutions. The Apollo is equipped with a comprehensive self diagnostic system which will indicate errors in the display of the printer. Also, the operator will be informed by the LEDs whether the fault is correctable and will, therefore, allow to continue the current print job after corrections (e.g. "Out of paper"), or the fault may require you to cancel the current print job.
Irrecoverable Errors While switching on the printer or during printing, a fault has occured which cannot be cleared by the operator without cancelling the current print run. (e.g. hardware fault) Display The display shows the type of fault. LED Display LED CAN is flashing. Function Keys CAN key Cancels the current print job. Switch into ONLINE mode. (LED ONL on, LED CAN off, LED PSE off) If ONLINE mode cannot be entered, switch printer on and off again.
Error message Possible cause Solution ADC malfunction Hardware error Switch printer off and then on. If error recurs → contact Service. Battery low PC card error Replace battery inside the PC card. Buffer overflow The data receive buffer is full but the computer is still transmitting data Use the protocol (preferably RTS/ CTS) for data transmission. Card full Refers to the optional memory card; No more data can be stored on the card Replace card.
Error message Possible cause Solution File not found Requested file is not on the card Check the contents of the card. FPGA malfunction Hardware error Switch printer off and then on. If error recurs → contact Service. Head error Hardware error Switch printer off and then on. If error recurs → contact Service. Head open * Printhead is not properly locked (Apollo 1 only) Lock printhead. Head too hot * Printhead is overheated due to labels containing a lot of graphics, text, bar codes, etc.

Switch printer off. Correct the interface setting in the printer setup. (see Chapter 9) Read error Refers to the optional memory card; There is no solution.
Appendix D - Maintenance / Cleaning / Adjustment of the Printhead The printers of the Apollo series require only a minimum of maintenance. It is most important to clean the printhead on a regular basis. This will guarantee a permanent high quality of the print image. Moreover, it helps to prevent an early wear of the printhead. Apart from that, the servicing only requires you to clean the outside of the printer occassionally.
Cleaning the Printhead While operating, dirt such as paper dust or particles of ink or back coating from the ribbon may accumulate on the thermal printhead. This can cause a deterioriation of the print quality. (e.g. different contrasts on the label, appearance of light horizontal lines, etc.) In that case, the printhead needs cleaning.
Adjustment of the Printhead For optimum print quality, the line of heating elements on the printhead must be parallel and aligned correctly to the print roller. This alignment has already been performed in the factory. Nevertheless, it may become necessary to adjust it. A misaligned printhead causes a poor print quality which appears as described below : - the print image looks generally light, spotted, and irregular; or - the print image appears uneven from one side to the other. 1 2 3 3 Fig.
4. Note, that the printhead must be closed after every single adjustment step to make the change effective. 5. Tighten the locking screw (2). 6. Perform a test print, for instance a wide black line over the whole width of the label, and review the results. 7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 as necessary to complete the adjustment. D-4 cab - Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.
Appendix E - Firmware Updates General Updates The firmware of the Apollo printer series is subject to constant development, e.g. a growing variety of features available, easier fault correction, etc. In Apollo 1/2, the firmware is stored in an EPROM which for up-dating purposes must completely be replaced with a new one. The replacement should only be performed by Technical Service. The instructions are included in the service manual.
