1. Installation of the printer.
1. Make sure your computer has the latest Microsoft updates. Click the Windows key and type in the update. Up-
date and restart your computer if necessary. This is VERY important because security is prioritised in Windows.
Sometimes an un-updated computer can cause problems with printing, so be sure to ALWAYS update and re-
start your computer if you have printing problems.
2. Install the printer and connect the USB cable to the computer.
Always use the same USB port on the computer, otherwise multiple printers will be installed. Identify the USB
port.
3. Connect the power cable.
4. Turn on the printer for automatic installation.
5. If the printer is not installed automatically, insert the CD supplied with the printer and follow the instructions. It is
also recommended that you use the latest drivers for your printer. These can be found at www.cab.de
6. Once the printer is installed, go to the Start Menu, Windows System, Control Panel, and then view the devices
and printers.

2. Installation of the printer, the product to be printed and the ribbon.
1. The printer is equipped with a label detection sensor. If the product to be printed has a recurring perforation,
place the sensor over the perforation. This can be placed in different places depending on the product to be prin-
ted.
2. To adjust the position of the sensor in front of the hole, press the side pin. Turn the pin to position the sensor.
Once the adjustment is made, it is important to return the side pin to its initial position so that the print head can
be locked properly.
3. If you are using products to be printed without perforation, place the sensor directly on the product to be printed.
The sensor will detect the gap between the labels.

4. Install the product to be printed as shown below, and make sure it slides easily between the guides. Adjust the
guides by turning the adjustment wheel.
5. There are specific ribbons available depending on the products to be printed. You will find below the recommen-
ded ribbons for each product. For a complete list and the latest information on ribbons and products, visit
www.ses-sterling.com or consult our catalogue. The tapes are available in different colours and widths.
Install the ribbon as shown below.
To rewind the ribbon, a cardboard core of at least the same width as the original roll is required. Adjust the posi-
tion of the positioning flange of the rewinder to the width of the core, and position the cardboard core on the re-
winder.
Guide the transfer ribbon through the printing mechanism.
Secure the beginning of the transfer ribbon with adhesive tape in the middle of the core. Observe the direction of
rotation of the rewinder, counterclockwise.
Turn the rewinder counterclockwise to smooth the transfer ribbon.
