Device Types, Application
AP4.4
•Monotone printing of label stock for thermal and thermotransfer processes
•Printing on different materials, e.g. cardboard or self-adhesive labels
•Processing roll and fan-folded material
•Resolution: optionally 203 or 300dpi
•Print speed up to 200mm/sec (8”/s)
•Print width up to 105mm
•Interfaces: RS-232, USBCentronics, and connection for foot switch
AP5.4
The AP5.4 is available in 3 versions, which additionally offers the following
equipment features:
•Basic
Like the AP4.4, but additionally equipped with the following: Keyboard
connection, slot for CF card, Ethernet port
The following options can be integrated:
– Reflex sensor
– I/O board
•Peripheral
Like the AP5.4 basic, but with capability to add the following extra option:
– External cutter
– External rewinder
– Internal rewinder
•Peripheral with internal winder
Like the AP5.4 peripheral with additional built-in internal rewinder. In con-
nection with an optional dispensing edge, this printer can also be used as
a dispenser.

Options
The optional features – with the exception of the foot switch – can only be in-
tegrated into the AP5.4.
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
•Contact brush for narrow label web (< 30mm); recommended for AP5.4
with „Rewinder 2000“.
External Options …do not require any special alterations to the printer, however, the printer
must be prepared for the use of peripheral devices:
•Cutter
•Rewinder for material rolls with 38mm (1.5”), 75mm (3”) or 100mm (4”)
cores („Rewinder 2000“)
•Keyboard for offline operation
•Foot switch for foot-operated label dispensing (printer must additionallybe
equipped with an I/O board)
•Dispensing edge (only for dispensing versions)

Punch sensor Transmission sensor, adjustable from the left side about half of the material
width (0-60mm) [2].
Reflex sensor •The reflex sensor for AP5.4 is optionally available (for reflex marks on the
material underside)
•Adjustable from the left side about half of the material width (6-66mm)
•The dark/light change at the reflex sensor is taken as the label beginning
(= end of the reflex mark)
[2] Measures and setting range of the punch / reflex mark.
Max. print length The maximum print length depends on the following:
•Printer type
•Printer resolution
•Firmware version
•Parameter settings (e.g. SYSTEM PARAMETERS > Free store size)
Zero line Offset of the material zero line to the print zero line: 1mm
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 a CF-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.
¯Those values are empirical for typical applications with common label
stock / foil combinations. Since the deflection of the print position strongly
depends on the applied label stock / foil combination, it can turn out higher if
unfavorable combinations are used.
