baffle plate [6F] with the buttonhole openings on the rear side of the plate onto the

screws. Tighten the screws.

Cutter If you have ordered an AP 5.4/5.6 peripheral with cutter, the cutter will be shipped sep-

arately.

For instructions on how to assemble the cutter, see manual Cutter 2000 , “Fastening,

Setting Up, Servicing”.

Connecting the printer

[7] Rear side of AP 5.6.

1. Make sure that the printer is switched off (mains switch [7C] at “0” position).

2. Connect the mains cable [7A] to the mains connector at the printer.

3. Connect the mains cable into a mains socket.

4. Connect the printer and computer or printer and network using suitable data cable

(example: USB cable to USB (device) port [7B] of printer and to USB port of host

computers).

5. Turn on the unit using the mains power switch (position “1”).

As soon as the printer is ready, the following appears:

If SYSTEM PARAMETERS > Turn-on mode is set to “Online”, the printer switches di-

rectly into online mode after turning on the printer!

WARNING!

This unit operates at mains voltage! Contacting electrically live components can

cause potentially lethal electrical shocks and burns.

Make sure that the machine has been switched off before connecting the mains

cable.

Only operate the printer at the mains voltage given on the type plate.

Only connect the printer to a properly installed mains socket with protective

earth.

When installing the mains cable, ensure the following:

a) Nobody can stumble over the cable

b) Mains plug can be pulled in case of emergency

In case of danger, the printer can only be disconnected from the power supply by

removing the power plug from the power supply.

Make sure that the power supply socket for the printer is readily accessible.

Risk of stumbling over cables.

Lay the power supply cable, data cables and compressed air hoses (if applica-

ble) in a way that nobody can stumble over it.

Main operating steps

Switching on/off

[8] Rear side of the AP 5.6.

Switch on the printer by the mains switch (position „I“).

Display, if the printer is ready:

With unchanged factory settings, the printer starts in offline mode.

If the printer is supposed to start in online mode:

Set SYSTEM PARAMETER > Turn-on mode to „Online“.

Configuring the data interface

The AP 5.4/5.6 has been pre-configured at our factory for data transmission through

the USB port. Alternatively, printer data can also be transmitted via RS232, RS422/

485 (only with optional I/O board), USB or Ethernet port.

Choosing the port: INTERFACE PARA > EASYPLUGINTERPR > Interface

Configuring the port:

• RS232 (COM1): INTERFACE PARA > COM1 PORT > …

• RS232/422/485 (COM3): INTERFACE PARA > COM3 PORT > …

• Ethernet: INTERFACE PARA > NETWORK PARAM. > …

We recommend that your network administrator configures the network set-

tings.

• USB: no configuration required

For more information on how to set the parameters, see topic section “Info Printouts

and Parameters”, Operating the Parameter Menu .

The order numbers for network and data cables are given in topic section

Accessories .

For more information on how to use the Ethernet port, see topic section “Advanced

Applications”, chapter Data Transmission with Ethernet on page 18.

CAUTION!

Switching the printer off and on again without a pause can cause malfunctioning.

Wait at least 20 seconds between switching the printer off and on again.

AP5.4 – AP5.6

(De)activating the internal rewinder

Only applies to AP 5.4/5.6 dispensers with baffle plate installed.

Activate Ensure that material has been inserted before you activate the rewinding function,

otherwise a fault message will appear!

For information on inserting material, see topic section “Setup”, chapter Inserting La-

bel Material on page 6.

Set

1. SYSTEM PARAMETER > Periph. device to “Intern Rewinder”.

Do not confuse this with “Rewinder” because this setting activates the external

rewinder (additional device)!

After being activated, the system checks the direction of rotation of the rewinder.

“Facing outside” is set by default.

2. If required, press the cut/feed button to change the direction of rotation.

3. Press the ENTER button to confirm your selection.

The printer restarts. Afterwards, an additional menu REWINDER PARA can be

opened from the main menu, and this contains the Rewind direction parameter. Using

this parameter, you can change the direction of rotation.

During the initialisation, the printer attempts to tighten the label strip.

Deactivate Set SYSTEM PARAMETER > Perip. device to “None”.

Possible fault The following error message may appear briefly after activating the internal rewinder:

Possible causes include:

• No material has been inserted or end of material has not been fastened to rewind-

er. Fasten end of material to rewinder and press Online button.

• The material strip is sagging in front of the rewinder. Press the Online button.

Modifying main

initialisation

After this, the printer is ready for the first job. As soon as a job is received, the rewinder

controller calculates the main initialisation values for the rewinding process on the ba-

sis of the given material width and printing speed. These values are suitable for a wide

range of applications.

However, these settings may cause too much printer offset in certain special applica-

tions. In these cases, the main initialisation values will have to be modified. Such ap-

plications include printing on:

• Very narrow labels

• Very coarse backing paper

• Very thick backing paper compared to the label

• Labels stuck on the backing paper

• Backing paper perforated along label contour

Only qualified service technicians are permitted to edit the main initialisation val-

ues!

Activating Set

SYSTEM PARAMETER > Periph. device to “Dispenser”.

The printer restarts. Afterwards, an additional menu DISPENSER PARA can be accessed

that contains all of the parameters required for dispensing mode:

For more on the listed parameters, see Info Printouts and Parameters .

Deactivating Set

SYSTEM PARAMETER > Periph. device to “None”.

Setting the dispenser

Application A The label should be dispensed to that a narrow strip still sticks to the backing paper

above the dispensing edge. After manually removing the dispensed label, the next la-

bel is printed and dispensed.

Set

DISPENSER PARA > Dispenseposition to -6.0 mm (for strong adhesives, this may have

to be reduced to -8.0 mm).

Set

DISPENSER PARA > Start source to “Light barrier”.

Application B The label should be printed and dispensed after receiving a signal from the connected

foot switch.

Set

SYSTEM PARAMETER > External signal to “Singlestart”.

Set

DISPENSER PARA > Dispenseposition to -6.0 mm (for strong adhesives, this may have

to be reduced to -8.0 mm).

Set

DISPENSER PARA > Start source to “Foot switch”.

Label length

< 40 mm

If very short labels are to be printed (PRINT PARAMETERS > Material length is set to <

40 mm), the printer is automatically initialised for the material before printing.

For more information, see the parameter description DISPENSER PARA > Calibration mode

under Info Printouts and Parameters .

Parameters Possible settings

Dispenser mode True 1:1 mode (default), Batch mode, Normal 1:1 mode
