2.7 Loading Labels or Tags
CAUTION: If your labels are less than the full width of the print head, the outside
edge will eventually wear out a small portion of the print head, resulting in an
area that will not print. Special care must be taken if you plan to use multiple
widths of labels since the damaged portion of the print head caused from edge
wear on a more narrow label may affect the printing on a wider label. We suggest
you plan your print formats carefully to avoid using the area of possible damage
on the print head when using a wider label. The small area of damage will have
no effect on printing with the undamaged part of the print head.
Damage from a label edge is physical damage and is unavoidable. It is not covered
by warranty.
Refer to the following and previous
illustrations while loading your media.
STEP PROCEDURE
1. Raise the printer right side access door. Page. 2-4
2. Open the Print Head Assembly by pulling down forward on the green
Lever Guard atop the assembly. Page. 2-5
3. Slide the green plastic Label Unwind Guide to the outside edge of the
label. If using roll labels (or tags), load the roll onto the Label Unwind
Arm so that the printed side of the label faces upward as it unwinds from
the roll. Page. 2-5, 2-6, 2-10, 2-11, 2-12
4. Push the roll all the way to the inside of the printer, then slide the Label
Unwind Guide against the label roll to hold the roll in place. Page. 2-10
5. If using fanfold labels or tags, set them on a flat surface behind the printer.
Locate the Feed Slot opening at the rear of the printer. Pass the labels
(printed side up) through the slot and over the Label Unwind Arm.
Page. 2-10
6. Slide the adjustable Label Edge Guide to the outside edge of the bracket.
Feed the labels or tags under the Label Tension Bar, through the open Print
Head Assembly and out the front of the printer.
Set the Adjustable Label Edge Guide to keep the labels against the inside
of the printer.
NOTE: If the Label Dispenser option has been purchased, see Appendix D, for
proper routing instructions. The M-5900RV must be configured for the Label
Dispenser Mode for proper operation. Please refer to DIP Switch Settings
(page 2-15).
