Device Types, Use
64-0x Basic
The x in the printer name stands for 4, 5, 6 or 8. The higher this number is,
the wider label material can be used with this printer.
• Monotone printing of labelling materials for thermal and thermotransfer
processes
• Printing on different materials, e.g. cardboard or self-adhesive labels
• Processing roll and fan-folded material
• Print width:
-- 64-04 up to 106.6 mm
-- 64-05 up to 127.9 mm
-- 64-06 up to 159.9 mm
-- 64-08 up to 213.2 mm
• Resolution: 300 dpi
• Interfaces: RS 232, RS 422/485 (optional), USB, Centronics,
Ethernet (optional)
¯ The 64-0x Basic may not be used with peripheral devices!
64-0x Peripheral
• Basic equipment as 64-0x Basic
• The 64-0x Peripheral is additionally equipped with a motor driver and a
connector for peripheral devices. Thus it offers the possibility of driving a
cutter or a rewinder.
64-0x Dispenser M
• Basic equipment as 64-0x Peripheral
• Additional features: Dispensing edge and internal backing paper rewinder
• Dispensing of self-adhesive labels after printing; the backing paper is
wound up inside of the printer.
• „M“ stands for manual application of the labels, what means that the label is
taken off the dispensing edge and is applied to the product by hand. For
this reason, the dispensing edge provides a light barrier which triggers the
dispensing of the next label, if the current one is taken off.
¯ Alternatively, the dispensing can be triggered by a foot switch. The switch
must be connected to the optional single-start connector.

64-0x Dispenser A
• Basic equipment as 64-0x Peripheral
• Additional features: Dispensing edge and internal backing paper rewinder
• Dispensing of self-adhesive labels after printing; the backing paper is
wound up inside of the printer.
• “A” stands for automatic label application, what means, that the label is
applied by an applicator. The dispensing edge is longer than the type “M”
edge and has no light barrier.
TT4
• Label printer based on 64-04
• Monotone printing of labelling materials for thermal and thermotransfer
processes
• Print width up to 98.0 mm
• Automatic label material feed from 4 material sources: One roll material
unwinder and three compartments for leporello material. The compartments
are placed in a magazin below the printer.
Options
Internal Options ...should be factory-fitted or installed by a service engineer:
• Reflex sensor: Light barrier fork that apart from the transmission sensor,
also contains a reflex sensor.
• Fullsize sensor: Punch sensor which can be shifted across the full material
width.
¯ The fullsize sensor can not be used under one of the following conditions:
-- The printer is a 64-0x Dispenser (type A or M).
-- The printer is operated with the online verifier (see below) option.
• USI (Universal Signal Interface): can e.g. be used to control an applicator
or a scanner.
• Options board with an additional serial interface (COM 2) and a PS/2
keyboard connector.
• Antistatic kit: reduces electrostatic charge, which can especially arise of the
processing of plastic labels. Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy
electronic circuits of the printer.
• Realtime clock
• RS 422/485 interface, instead of RS 232
• Single-Start option: Connector for a foot switch or another external signal,
which is supposed to start or stop the printer.

External Options …do not require any special alterations to the printer, however, the printer
must be prepared for the use of peripheral devices:
• Cutter: Optional high-performance, low-noise cutter with double-cut function
from 1 to 5 mm
• Rewinder: is mounted to the printer and rewinds the printed label materials
with the printed side facing inwards or outwards
• Online Verifier: The online verifier (OLV) checks printed bar code
immediately after printing it. If the bar code has not been printed or has not
been printed in a readable way, the OLV stopps the printer.
• Keyboard for standalone operation
• Foot switch for triggering the label dispenser (printer must be equipped with
single-start option)

Appendix
Automatic ribbon economy
In regular print mode, ribbon is fed simultaneously with the label material.
The automatic ribbon economy (= „ribbon saving“) stops the feeding of the
ribbon if there are label areas of a certain size without imprinting. As a
result, ribbon is saved (see Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 Ribbon (Foil) consumption when printing labels with a small imprinting
area and activated automatic ribbon economy. Ribbon consumption is
slightly higher than the length of the imprinted area.
The effect of ribbon saving depends on the print speed. The reason for this
is the up and down movement of the printhead as well as the acceleration
and slowing-down of the ribbon. Generally said: With a high print speed,
less ribbon is saved as with a low print speed (see Tab. 6).
Cutting or dispensing applications can additionally deteriorate the effect of
ribbon saving.
Activating ribbon Activate the automatic ribbon economy by selecting parameter „SYSTEM
saving PARAMETERS/ Ribbon autoecon.“.
Set the minimum distance between two print areas from which on ribbon
saving should be activated with parameter „SYSTEM PARAMETERS/
Ribbon economy limit“.
P For detailed information refer to topic section „Info-printouts and Parame-
ters“.
Only „Real 1:1“ The ribbon saving can only applied in Real 1:1 mode. All printjobs must the-
refore be defined using the #IMR Easy Plug command.
P For detailed information refer to the Easy Plug Manual, topic section „Des-
cription of Commands“.
