Operating Instructions • Thermal transfer printer TT4000
7 Print mode
NOTE
Material damage caused by false environmental
conditions!
Printhead can be damaged by improper handling!
f Do not touch the heating elements of the printhead with
the fingers or sharp objects.
f Ensure that the labels are clean.
f Ensure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough labels
act like emery paper and reduce the service life of the
printhead.
f Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
The printer is ready for operation when all connections
have been made and labels and, if applicable, the
transfer ribbon have been loaded.
7 .1 Synchronization of the paper feed
After inserting the label material, a synchronization of
the paper feed is necessary in cut mode. In the process,
the first label detected by the label light barrier is moved
into print position and all of the labels ahead of it are
transported out of the printer. This prevents errors in the
cut length of the first section in cut mode. This could
make the first label unusable. Press the feed button to
start the synchronization. Remove the empty labels cut
off by the label feed.
To rewind the transfer ribbon, use a core with a width
between the width of the supply roll and 115 mm.
