Label Dispense Option
The TDP4*H Label Dispense Option is an external mechanism that provides the ability to print labels in the
“demand” mode. It is attached to front of the printer. When the label dispenser is installed and configured for
operation, the printer dispenses one label at a time, peeling the backing from the label, which allows for
immediate application to the product by the operator.
OPERATOR SETUP
1. The following steps should be taken to set up the Label Dispense Option.
2. Install the option using the instructions provided with the unit. The installation time is approximately
30 minutes.
3. Power the printer ON.
4. The printer must be configured to used the label dispenser option. Switches DSW3-1 and DSW3-2
on the front panel are used to configure the printer. To enable the dispenser, both DSW3-1 and
DSW3-2 should be in the ON position.
5. Remove enough labels from the backing paper to provide 12 inches of backing free from labels.
6. Open the Print Head assembly and feed the backing paper through the print area in the normal
manner.
7. At the label exit area, feed the backing paper down and behind the Knurled Roller, then back down
and around the Backing Roller.
8. Close the Print Head and place the printer on-line.
9. The Label Dispense Option is ready for use.
GENERAL OPERATION
Send your data stream in the normal manner to the printer. Labels should print one at a time, even if your print
quantity command requests more than one label. As the labels are printed and presented for the operator to
remove, the backing paper will be rewound on the spindle. The next label will only print after removing the
current label from the label exit path.
Note: The label dispenser will function only if it has been enabled using the front panel switches (DSW3-1 and
DSW3-2 in the ON positions).
The Label Taken Sensor is adjusted at the factory for the optimal setting for most label material. However, the
use of labels with a substantially different opacity may require that the threshold be adjusted.
