Important Information!

Incorrect use of this equipment can cause injury. It is advised that operators be trained in

the correct use of the equipment and that they read this manual before use.

Maintenance must only be carried out by suitably qualified and trained personnel.

Shock Hazard Warning:

The printer and power supply should never be operated in a location where either one

can get wet. Personal injury could result.

Media and Ribbon Warning:

Always use high quality, approved product and ribbons. If adhesive backed labels are

used the DO NOT lay flat on the backing liner, the exposed edges may stick to the label

guides and rollers inside the printer, causing the label to peel off from the liner and jam

the printer. Permanent damage to the print head may result if a non-approved ribbon is

used as it may be wound incorrectly for the printer or contain chemicals corrosive to the

print head. Approved supplies can be ordered from your dealer.

Reloading Hint:

If labels or ribbon run out while printing, DO NOT turn the power switch OFF (0) while

reloading or data loss may result. The printer automatically restarts after you load a new

label or ribbon roll

Static Discharge:

The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body

or other surfaces can damage or destroy the print head or electronic components used in

this device. DO NOT TOUGH the print head or the electronic components under the top

cover.

Thermal Printing:

The print head becomes hot while printing. To protect from damage the print head and

risk of personal injury, avoid touching the print head. Use only the cleaning pen or IPA

wipes to perform maintenance.

Product and Ribbon Storage:

All products and ribbons must be kept in a clean area, free from contamination, dust,

grease and condensation. Image quality and durability may be affected if this is not the

case. Storage conditions and shelf-life are marked on each product container. For

further information please contact Tyco Electronics.

2.0 Ribbon Selection

Print quality and permanency on Tyco Electronics Identification products is only guaranteed if

the correct thermal transfer ribbon is used for each product. Please refer to the

“Printer/material/ribbon compatibility cross reference” found at

www.tycoident.com or contact

Tyco Electronics.

3.0 Loading Ribbon

1. Open Cover.

2. Pull Adhesive Strip Free on ribbon.

3. Thread the ribbon through carriage.

4. Press core onto Hub.

5. Align Notches onto Hub Spokes.

6. Press the take-up core on to the Hub.

7. Align Notches onto Hub Spokes.

8. Attache ribbon to take-up core using

adhesive strip on new ribbons or tape.

English

EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 9

3.1 Adding a New Ribbon

If while printing the ribbon runs out, the indicator lights orange and the printer pauses. Keeping

the power ON, open the top cover. Cut the used ribbon so both cores can be removed. Load the

new ribbon as described in section 3.0 Loading Ribbon. Close the top cover and press the feed

button to restart printing.

3.2 Removing a partially used Ribbon

To remove a partially used ribbon cut the ribbon from the take-up roll. Remove the take-up roll.

Remove all the used ribbon from the take-up core and keep the empty core for future use.

Remove the supply roll and store in accordance with the ribbons storage conditions.

Cut Used Ribbon from Supply

Push Supply Roll

Out

Important Note: When a complete ribbon has been used, the take-up roll must be replaced with

an empty cardboard roll, or the waste ribbon must be removed from the take-up cardboard core.

Allowing the waste ribbon to build up on the take-up cardboard core can rub against the new

ribbon and jam.

4.1 Loading TMS Marker Sleeves

TMS marker sleeves can be loaded either internally or externally. Both methods require the

Media Roll Holders to be held open and the locking screw tightened using a screwdriver.

4.1.1 TMS Marker Sleeves Internal Loading

Remove all packaging and the large cardboard core and place the product loose into the media

bay of the printer. This is suitable for TMS marker sleeves and some self-adhesive label

products with large cardboard cores.

4.1.2 TMS Marker Sleeves External Loading

Product can be fed into the printer via the rear access slot at the back of the printer. This is

suitable if it is desired to leave TMS marker sleeves in the cardboard box they are shipped in.

English

EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 12

4.2 Loading Labels

Labels can be loaded either internally or externally.

4.2.1 Labels Internal Loading

Labels supplied on small cardboard cores can be held in place by the spring loaded Media Roll

Holders.

Labels that do not fit the Media Roll Holders can be removed from their core and placed loose

in the media bay of the printer. The Media Roll Holders must be locked open for this option,

see section 4.1 Loading TMS Marker Sleeves.

4.2.2 Labels External Loading

Labels can be fed into the printer via the rear access slot at the back of the printer. This is

suitable if the labels do not fit the internal Media Roll Holders. A suitable media holder should

be used. Please contact Tyco Electronics for more details.

5.0 Calibration

When loading new or changing product types the printer must be calibrated.

Once the product and ribbon are correctly installed, the following procedure must be carried out

1. Power Off.

2. Hold Down Feed Button.

3. Holding Down Feed Button, Power On.

4. Once LED Flashes Red 3 times release

Feed Button.

5. Printer Advances Media and Prints

Status Summary.

Note: Printer is in diagnostic dump mode. The

first line printed on the printout during calibration

will be the firmware version.

6. Press Feed Button to Begin Normal

Operation.

7. Each press of the feed button should

then advance one marker sleeve/label.

Note:

If the printer continuously feeds or feeds more

than one marker sleeve or label at a time, or

the LED remains orange or red then refer

section 5.1 Alignment for Calibration and 11.0

Troubleshooting and then repeat the procedure

calibration procedure .

English

EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 15

5.1 Alignment For Calibration

Calibration on some products can prove difficult to achieve. This is normally due to the sensor

timing out before the label and backing material contrast has been recognised by the printer’s

sensor.

Reducing the length of time the sensor has to pick up on the difference between the labels and

backing material will result in successful sensor calibrations.

5.1.1 Labels Alignment

Position a label under the T200 sensor with less than approx. 5mm of label travel to occur

before the backing material is picked up by the sensor.

5.1.2 Labels With Sensor Holes Alignment

Position a label under the T200 sensor with less than approx. 5mm of media travel to occur

before the sensor hole is picked up by the sensor.

NOTE: Labels will only calibrate if they pass directly under the sensor. Products that do not

have a label directly under the sensor will not calibrate. A sensor hole or black mark is required

to calibrate these products. If the black mark is to be used the default sensor setting must be

changed in the printer, refer to section 6.0 Changing Sensor Type.
