Brady 260M Printer User Manual


 
Once the media and ribbon are loaded and the media sensor is in
place, the printer must be calibrated.
For the M-Series printer, this is accomplished by pressing the
MODE Key until the CALIBRATE light is on and then pressing
the FEED Key.
Note: Every time a different type or size of media is run (labels
or Permasleeve), this Calibration procedure must be
repeated.
After the calibration process is completed, make sure the process
was successful by pressing the FEED Key repeatedly, verifying
that one sleeve is ejected per press of the FEED Key.
Once the calibration process is completed, the media can be
rewound by opening the printhead, manually rewinding the
material, and closing the printhead. The printer is now in the
PAUSE Mode. Press PAUSE to take the printer out of PAUSE
Mode. Five inches of material will then feed out. See leader
instructions to eliminate this five inches of waste.
Whenever the Printhead is opened, the printer goes off-line and
the PAUSE light is lit. To put the printer back on-line, press the
PAUSE Key. When it is pressed, five inches of media is ejected.
This five inches of waste is avoided on the first print job of every
new roll because there is a leader of empty carrier provided.
When starting a print job in the middle of the roll, this empty
carrier from the front of the roll can be cut off and reattached to
the leading edge of the media. This should be reattached using
cellophane (transparent) tape. This provides the user with a
method of printing without wasting any sleeves.
