Refer to Troubleshooting Chart on page 56 for additional information. ■ Switch the printer off at the power switch (Figure 1, 8) after finishing work. Media Setup Since print quality is affected by media and ribbon, printing speeds and printer operating modes, it is very important to run tests for your applications. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the use of Brady-brand supplies and LabelMark, IdentiLab or BradySoft Brady/Code labeling software for continuous high-quality printing. These products will allow you to use all of the special features of the printer, especially Brady mode (hassle-free operation). 10 Installation Brady Mode The use of Brady-brand supplies and LabelMark, IdentiLab, BradySoft or BradyCode labeling software allow access to the full operation of Brady mode. Brady mode, or hassle-free operation, provides the following advantages: ■ The printer always automatically sets up the burn setting, print speed, and sensor information and verifies that the installed ribbon is approved for the installed label. ■ The software recognizes what label is installed and automatically organizes the label height and width, label printable area, zone information, label and ribbon color, number of parts across the web, spacing between parts and default rotation. ■ The software and printer will be properly configured whether you open an existing part or create a new one. ■ The printer LCD panel also displays an estimated amount of labels and ribbon remaining (Figure 2). ■ If the printer is operated with non-Brady software and/or non-Brady labels, the printer will function only as a standard THT printer. Refer to Standard Mode on page 13. The LCD display shows: ■ The Brady logo in the top, left corner which indicates that the printer is operating in Brady mode. ■ The online status of the printer. ■ The label part number and estimated amount of labels remaining. ■ The ribbon part number and estimated amount of ribbon remaining. Need new art Figure 2, LCD Display These functions are fully enabled with non-metallized Brady label material and Brady preferred software. For metallized Brady label material, refer to Metallized Material on page 12. 11 Installation Metallized Material Hassle-Free Mode If you are using Brady-brand supplies and LabelMark, IdentiLab, BradySoft or BradyCode labeling software, the software will request selection of a part number from a list prior to operation. Once the part number is selected, Hassle-free mode is completely operational. Standard Mode If you are not using Brady-brand supplies and LabelMark, IdentiLab, BradySoft or BradyCode labeling software, the software will ask if metallized material is installed when the printer cannot read a RFID tag. If you answer “yes,” the software will request selection of a part number from a list prior to operation. The label printer will operate in Standard mode. Refer to Standard Mode on page 13. Sleeving Material Sleeving material is processed the same way as labels. If the material is Brady-brand, the printer will read the RFID tag and display the gap sensor switch setting on the LED panel. Refer to Gap Sensors on page 14. Set the gap sensor switch to the setting displayed and the printer will operate in Brady mode. Refer to Brady Mode on page 11. If the material is not Brady-brand, the printer will operate in Standard mode. Refer to Standard Mode on page 13. Custom Material Custom material is processed in Standard mode. Refer to Standard Mode on page 13. 12 Installation Standard Mode If the printer is operated in Standard mode or with non-Brady software and the user inserts Brady non-metallized label material, the printer will automatically execute the basic functions of detecting burn setting, print speed and sensor information. There is no way for the printer to determine label size. The user will need to manually enter media print settings. The LCD display shows: ■ The letter S in the top, left corner which indicates that the printer is operating in Standard mode. ■ The online status of the printer. ■ The message Manually apply media print settings . . . Whenever possible, manually apply media print settings through the software. 13 Installation Label Sensors Gap Sensors 50 40 30 20 10 10 Figure 3, Selecting the Gap Sensor The printer has gap sensors (Figure 3, 1 and 2) which can detect the start and end of a label.
