2.2 Safety notes

•The transfer printer is designed for power supply systems from 100 V AC to 240 V AC. Connect the

transfer printer only to electrical outlets with a ground contact.

•Couple the transfer printer to devices using extra low voltage only.

•Before making or undoing connections, switch off all devices involved (computer, printer, accesso-

ries etc.).

•Operate the transfer printer in a dry environment only anddo not get it wet (sprayed water, mist etc.).

•If the transfer printer is operated with the cover open, ensure that clothing, hair, jewelry and similar

personal items do not contact the exposed rotating parts.

•The print mechanism can become hot during printing. Do not touch it during operation and allow it

to cool down before changing the media or before removal or adjustment.

•Carry out only the actions described in these operating instructions. Other tasks may only be per-

formed by trained personnel or service technicians.

2.3 Environmentally-friendly disposal

Used devices contain valuable recyclable materials which should be utilized.

⇒Dispose of used devices separately from other waste, i.e. via an appropriate collection site.

The modular nature of the transfer printer allows it to easily be disassembled into its component parts

so that the parts can be turned in for recycling.

The PCB of the transfer printer has a lithium battery.

⇒Dispose of this battery in a collection container for old batteries at the store or with the public waste

disposal authority.

DANGER!

Risk of death via mains voltage!

Device types

Edition 7/06 Quick Operator’s Guide 9

5 Device types

5.1 Standard device

The standard device is used for printing labels or continuous media on rolls or fanfolded media.

In Tear-Off mode, labels are removed by hand.

The labels can be cut off automatically with the 'cutter' accessory. For details, see the Operating Instruc-

tions for the 'cutter' accessory.

The labels can be wound up with the 'external rewinder' accessory. For details, see the Operating

Instructions for the 'external rewinder' accessory.

Because there is no internal rewinder, automatic peeling off of the labels from the carrier medium (Peel-

Off mode) and internal rewinding are not possible.

5.2 Peel-off device version

The peel-off device version is capable of Peel-Off mode and thus has an internal rewinder and a pulling

system comprised of a rewind assist roller and a locking system. Printing on labels or continuous media

from rolls or fanfolded media is possible.

Operation in Tear-Off mode and with the 'cutter' or 'external rewinder' accessory is possible by installing

the tear-off plate (see ”6.4” on page 17), as with the standard device.

In Peel-Off mode, the label is peeled off the liner after printing. The label can be removed by hand with

the peel-off sensor (accessory). Label removal can also occur automatically via the applicator (acces-

sory). The liner is rolled up via the internal rewinder.

For use in Internal Rewind mode remove the locking system (see ”6.5” on page 18) and replace the

dispense plate with a rewind guide plate (see ”6.4” on page 17).
