Application, Device Types
Application
•Monotone printing of label stock for thermal and thermotransfer processes
•Printing on different materials, e.g. cardboard or self-adhesive labels,
which are suitable for thermal- or thermotransfer printing
•Processing roll and fan-folded material
•Resolution: 8.0 or 11.8Dot/mm (203 or 300dpi)
•Print speed up to 200mm/sec (8”/s)
•Print width:
– AP5.6: up to 168mm
– AP5.4: up to 105mm
•Interfaces: RS-232, USB,, Ethernet, and connection for foot switch
Device types
AP5.4 and AP5.6 are available in 4 versions:
Basic AP5.4/5.6 equipped with serial, USB and Ethernet interface and SD-card slot.
Possible upgrade to „peripheral“ version.
The following options can be integrated:
•Reflex sensor (top and/or bottom)
•I/O board (signal interface and additional serial interface)
Peripheral Like the AP5.4/5.6 basic, but with capability to add the following options:
•External rewinder (for AP5.4 only)
•Cutter
„Basic dispenser“ or
„peripheral dispenser“ AP5.4/5.6 with additional built-in internal rewinder. In connection with an op-
tional dispensing edge, this printer can also be used as a dispenser. If the dis-
pensing edge is replaced by a deflection plate, the printed labels are not
dispensed, but rewound together with the backing paper.

Options
Internal Options …should be factory-fitted or installed by a service engineer:
•Reflex Sensor Kit: Light barrier fitting that apart from the transmission sen-
sor, also contains a reflex sensor.
•Label sensor for short labels. Recommended for label length < 30mm.
•Internal rewinder kit: To retrofit the internal rewinder; contains the rewinder
as well as the driver board and material guide
•I/O board: RS-422/485 interface, signal interface
External Options …do not require any special alterations to the printer:
•Cutter (required printer: AP5.4/5.6 peripheral)
•AP5.4 only: (External) rewinder for material rolls with 38mm (1.5”), 75mm
(3”) or 100mm (4”) cores (required printer: AP5.4 peripheral)
•Keyboard for standalone operation
•Foot switch for foot-operated label dispensing
•Dispensing edge (required printer: AP5.4/5.6 „basic“ or „peripheral“ with
internal rewinder)

Max. print length The maximum print length depends on the following:
•Printer type
•Printer resolution
•Firmware version
•Parameter settings regarding memory allocation (e.g. SYSTEM
PARAMETERS > Free store size)
Zero line Offset of the material zero line to the print zero line: 1mm (what means that a
stripe of 1mm width at the inner label margin is unprintable)
Fonts •17 Fixsize fonts , including OCR-A and OCR-B
•3 scalable fonts (Speedo fonts)
•Truetype fonts are supported
•Optionally can Truetype, Speedo and Fixsize fonts be stored on SD-card
Modifying Fonts •Up to factor 8 scaling in x/y direction
•Rotation by 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees

Impression accuracy
[3] The impression accuracy depends on the print position on the label: the longer the distance to the gap
is, the lower is the impression accuracy. The maximum impression accuracy is at the gap position with
+/- 1mm.
Reading examples:
A: Print positioin 1 is located 50mm behind the gap position. The maximum
possible deflection from the theoretical print position is +/- 1.5mm.
B: Print positioin 1 is located 250mm behind the gap position. The maximum
possible deflection from the theoretical print position is +/- 3.5mm.
¯Thosevaluesare empiricalfortypicalapplicationswithcommon label stock
/ foil combinations. Since the deflection of the print position strongly depends
ontheappliedlabelstock /foilcombination,itcanturnouthigherifunfavorable
combinations are used.
