Selecting the Printing Material

Thermal transfer / direct thermal printing

The AP7.t can print onto label stock using the direct thermal modeor thermal

transfer mode.

Direct thermal Direct thermal printing is done without ribbon. The direct thermal process

requires label material with a temperature-sensitive coating. The printout is

produced by applying precise bursts of heat to the material under the

printhead. This changes the colour of the coating.

Thermal

transfer Thermal transfer printing is done with (thermal transfer) ribbon on “normal”

label material. The printout is produced by applying precise bursts of heat to

the thermal transfer ribbon under the printhead. This transfers the colour

particles to the label.

Label stock

The AP7.t was designed for printing onto textile materials.

Pay attention to the following factors when selecting label stock:

•The roughness of the material surface.

•The printhead temperature required for the colour transfer.

•Size of the material roll. The following dimensions need to be checked:

Outside-/inside diameter of the material roll and the material width.

Material

roughness If the material is very rough, the printhead will be worn down more quickly

than when using a smooth material. This is an important aspect of thermal

printing. With thermal transfer printing, this doesn’t pose such a problem,

because you can – and indeed should – select a ribbon that iswider than the

material. This means that the printhead is protected over the entire width of

the material.

Printhead

temperature High printhead temperatures can similarly cause problems. The material and

the ribbon take longer to cool. As a result, the print quality may degrade –

particularly at high print speeds. The printhead also wears down more

quickly.

¯The printing result very much depends on the right combination of label

material and thermal transfer ribbon. The surface of the label material

determines which thermal transfer ribbons produce the best adhesion.

Unsuitable ribbons often cause bad printing results.

Recommended textile materials include Avery Dennison’s 6860, 9505, 6880

and 9660.

PMore detailed information about grammage and material width margins and

the permissible dimensions of the label roll can be found in Technical Data,

“Label Material”.

AP7.t

Thermal transfer ribbon

The following is recommended for thermal transfer ribbons:

•The back of the ribbon should be coated so that it produces no static or

friction (Backcoating). If this isn’t the case, the printhead may be damaged by

static discharge coming off the ribbon surface.

•The ribbons need to be designed for “flat head” printheads.

•Ribbons should be able to handle print speeds of up to 200mm/s (8ips).

•Size of the ribbon roll: The following dimensions need to be checked: outside/

inside diameter of the ribbon roll, ribbon width.

Armor APR5 (Avery part no. 2740-410-xxx) is a recommended ribbon type.

¯The thermal transfer ribbon should only be slightly wider than the label

material.

– Ifanoverly narrow ribbonisused,the borderofthelabel materialinterferes

with the printhead – which wears it down more quickly.

– If an overly wide ribbon is used, there is an increased risk of creases

occurring in the ribbon. This can cause a dissatisfactory printing result.

PMore detailed information about the permissible dimensions of ribbon rolls

can be found in Technical Data, “Thermal Transfer Ribbon”.

CAUTION!-Thermal transferribbonswithoutthesepropertiescan degrade

the performance of the printer and the print quality as well as damage the

printhead!

Inserting the Label Material

PInformation on choosing a suitable label

material can be found in section Selecting

the Printing Material on page 4.

Preparing the printer

Depending on the type and width of label

material used, you may need to make two

minor adjustments to the printer:

Selecting and mounting the appropriate

print roller

Leaving the factory, the AP7.t is equipped

with a half size print roller [1B]. The wide

print roller [1C] is supplied with the printer.

The quarter size print roller [1A] is optional

available.

1. Switch off the printer. Open the front

cover.

2. Remove thumb screw [2A].

PContinued on the next page.

WARNING!

•Danger of rotating parts drawing items in.

«When working on the printer, do not wear loose jewellery, long sleeves,

long hair, etc.

«Close the printer cover before printing.

«Always switch off the printer before replacing the print roller or the metal

tube.

•During operation, the printhead can become hot.

«Care should be taken when touching the printhead!

3. Pull out the print roller[2].

4. Fit the wide print roller. Replace the thumb

screw.

5. Turn the knob for the printhead pressure to

the position [4B] depicted. Tool: Large

screwdriver or a suitably sized coin.

Adding a metal tube to the ribbon roller

Leaving the factory, the printer already

carries the metal tube on the ribbon roller.

The tube is required, if:

•the label web is very narrow

•the label layout contains one or more

crosslines over the whole label width.

1. Switch off the printer. Open the front

cover.

2. Push the metal tube over the ribbon

roller [5].

3. Clip the lock washer [6A] over the end of

the ribbon roller.

Inserting the roll material

1. Open the front cover.

2. Raise the pressure roller [7A]. Press the

two green levers towards each other.

3. Move the braking brush upwards [7B].

4. Move the material brake upwards until it

snaps into place [7D].

5. Remove the guide plate [7E] from the

material dispenser.

6. Match the adapter rings [7C] to the core

diameter of the material roll and pull the

other adapter rings off the dispenser.

¯Adapter rings for a core diameter of

50.8mm can be ordered (part no.

97061-02-7).

7. Place the material roll on the dispenser.

Run the material ribbon around the

deflection axle [8C].

¯The rotational direction of the roll

depends on the material winding direction

[8].

8. Insert the material ribbon as [9] displayed.

¯Feed the material ribbon through the

sensor fitting [9A].

9. Slide the brush [10B] over the material

(centred) and push it down until it snaps

into place.

10.Lower the material brake [10C].

11.Push the pressure roller [10A] down until it

snaps into place.

12.Push the material guide [11A] to the edge

of the label ribbon (without jamming the

ribbon).

13.Reposition the sensor fitting [10D] so that

the sensor is directly above the reflex

marks or punches of the label material.

¯The position of the transmission sensor

(punch sensor) is marked on the sensor

fitting [12A].

¯The reflex sensor is located under the

material, 5mm to the right of the mark.
