Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing the FX400 metallic foil and laminate thermal printer. You
can use your FX400 with a Primera LX400, LX800 or LX810 printer. Using your LX
printer and the FX400 you can first print a full color label and print gold or silver
borders, accents, and text or laminate the label to protect against water and fading.
For the purposes of this manual the LX400, LX800 or LX810 will collectively be
referred to as the “LX Printer”. Metallic Foil or laminate will be collectively referred
to as “media”.
Section 1: Install Software and Setup the Stand
A. Install Software:
You must first install the Primera PTFoil software and the
FX400 driver.

The Installer application will automatically launch in a few
moments.
2. Follow the prompts to install the print software.
Note: If the Installer does not start, open My Computer on your desktop. Double-
click the icon of the appropriate CD/DVD drive containing the Software Installer
disc. Double-click Installer.exe.

Choose “No, not this time” and then click next. Next, select "Install the software
automatically" and follow the wizard to complete the installation.
You will be prompted that the software has not passed Windows Logo Testing.
You must click Continue Anyway to finish the installation.
B. Setup the Stand:
The stand is designed to easily support the LX Printer and the FX400. The stand is
separated into two parts for shipping purposes. Remove these two parts and the
FX 400 from the box. Follow the instructions below to setup the stand.
1. Place the stand pieces on a flat, level surface such as a desk or table as shown
in the diagram below. You will need at least 40 inches of horizontal space, 16
inches of depth and 30 inches of vertical space.
5
2. Attach the stand pieces together using the included screws. Do not tighten the
screws. The stand may need adjustment once the printers are in place. The LX
printer stand (larger stand) should be on the left side.
3. Place the LX printer on the larger stand. There are two sets of indents in the top
of the stand which correspond to the rubber feet of the LX printer. Place the LX400
on the smaller set of indents. Place the LX800/810 on the larger set of indents.

Section 2: Install Foil or Laminate
Install only Primera approved media. Other media may have thermal properties
that may not be compatible with the FX400. Follow these instructions to install the
media.
1. Push down on the ribbon access window to release the lock. Lift the window to
access the ribbon area.
2. The FX400 comes with two rewind/supply spindles and these can be used
interchangeably.

3. The media will come with two cores. One will have the media supply (foil or
laminate) and the other will be an empty core. Insert one of the spindles into the
empty core. This will be the rewind core.
4. Insert the remaining spindle into the media supply core. Note the position of the
loose end of the media in the diagram below. It should be coming off the supply
toward the back of the printer.
5. Place the media rewind core on the front set of hubs. The flange on the spindle
should be on the right side of the printer. First, insert the left side of the core onto
the spring-loaded hub. Then, place the right side of the core on the hub.

6. Place the media supply core on the back set of hubs. The flange on the spindle
should be on the right side of the printer. First, insert the left side of the core onto
the spring-loaded hub. Then, place the right side of the core on the hub.
7. Open the top cover of the printer. Release the cover lock by pulling forward on
the cover release levers and lift up on the cover to open.

8. Pull the loose end of the media from the supply core over the print head. Feed it
back toward the rewind core. Attach the loose end on the media to the rewind core
using tape or the adhesive strip on the rewind core.
Note: Make sure the media is flat against the print head with no folds or wrinkles.
