1 Big graphic display

4 USB-Slot
Additional USB-slot for service keys, keyboard, scanner or USB memory.
5 Power switch
Attached to the front for better handling.
6 Solid metal cover
It is made of dye-cast aluminium with antibacterial coating. All casings are made of stainless steel.
7 Ribbon rewinder and unwinder
The threepart tightening axles allow a fast and easy ribbon exchange. Slender ribbons can be fixed in every position.
8 Ribbon saver
It is used for labels which are to be printed partially. During label feed the printhead is lifted in the blank area and the ribbon is stopped.
9 Back-feed
After dispensing the label the next one can be fed back behind the print line. Thus the label can be imprinted until the label edge and leaking of the liner during a longer pause is prevented. With very sensitive materials and to avoid ribbon folds, the printhead can be raised during this process.
10 Gap sensor
With the see-through or reflective sensor the imprint on the label can be positioned precisely and the end of material can be detected – independent of the gaps.
11 Easy replacement of material
The label material is inserted edgewise up to the end position. The printhead and the pressure roller are locked with locking levers.
12 Adjustment of the print layout
By moving the plungers the pressure can be adjusted easily.
13 Fast printhead exchange
With the Allen Key which is readily to hand in the machine the printhead can be exchanged and adjusted easily.
14 Removing the print roller
For cleaning or replacement the print roller can be easily removed.
15 Cover magnet
In overhead installation, the cover is held by two magnets.
