QUICK REFERENCE

This Quick Reference contains supply loading and general

maintenance procedures for the Monarch® 9855® RFID

printer. Additional RFID documents are available on the

Monarch® Printer’s Documentation CD-ROM and on our

Web site (www.monarch.averydennison.com). Refer to the

RFID Setup Utility at

http://www.servisource1.com/prnutil/rfidsetup for

illustrations to determine which type of RFID supplies you

are using and basic printer configuration information. For

information about creating formats, configuring the printer,

or programming the printer, refer to the Packet Reference

Manual available on our Web site.

Note: Information in this document supercedes

information in previous versions. Check our Web

site for the latest documentation and release

information.

The limited warranty on knives used in or with

RFID printers is one (1) year from the date of

shipment, or 500,000 cuts, whichever occurs first.

RFID Overview

Your printer has been engineered to program (encode) an

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) label (commonly

called “RFID tags”) before the label’s format is printed.

RFID tags contain an embedded RFID inlay (chip and

antenna).

RFID is only available using die cut or black mark supplies.

Linerless supplies are not currently supported. The RFID

printer is also capable of printing standard (non-RFID)

supplies.

The printer supports Class 1 Generation 2 (C1Gen2)

protocol encoding.

Connecting the Cables

The power supply automatically switches between 115V or

230V. There are no operator settings required.

1. Review the safety information in the Regulatory

Compliance document included with your printer.

2. Plug the power cable into the socket. Plug the other

end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet.

3. Connect the communication cable into the appropriate

port. Secure the cable with the connecting screws

(serial) or spring clips (parallel).

If you are communicating with the host through the

serial port, make sure the printer's communication

values match those at the host. The factory default

values are 9600 Baud, 8 bit data frame, 1 stop bit, no

parity, and DTR flow control (9600, N, 8, 1, DTR). Set

the communication values on the printer to match

those at the host.

The printer also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus)

version 2.0 communications port, which is compatible

with version 1.1. Drivers are available on our Web site

for a variety of operating systems.

4. Turn on the printer. Press ( I ) to turn on and ( O ) to

turn off the printer.

Using the Control Panel

The control panel has a two-line LCD display, two status

lights, and five buttons. The control panel displays error

codes/messages, and allows you to setup/configure the

printer.

Power: The printer shows a

steady green light

when it is on.

Fault: The printer shows a

steady amber light

when it is out of

labels or ribbon, or

when you have a

supply jam.

Feed/

Cut: Prints a label in the on-demand mode,

feeds a blank label if there is no print job,

and prints a label with error information

that is useful to your System Administrator

if an error is displayed. When the printer

is offline, changes the displayed value by

one or ten.

Enter/

Pause: Pauses the current print job or resumes a

paused print job. Selects the displayed

menu item.

Escape/

Clear: When an error is present, clears the error.

When a job (batch) is printing, cancels the

print job (batch). Enters the offline menu

mode or returns the display to the next

higher menu.

Loading RFID Labels

The RFID supplies are sensitive to static electricity and can

be damaged by static electricity. Ground yourself by

touching some metal, such as the printer’s metal base,

before handling the supplies.

Refer to the 9855 Operator's Handbook for

additional supply loading instructions if using non-RFID

supplies in your RFID printer.

1. Open the cover.

2. Unlock the printhead by turning the retaining latch.

3. Lift the printhead assembly using the printhead tab

until the assembly locks into place.

4. Place the roll of supply on the supply holder. For

labels, the supply unrolls from the top or the bottom.

For tags, make sure the supply unrolls from the

bottom, because tag rolls are wound face in. Do not

pick up the printer by the supply holder.

5. Adjust the supply holder guides so the sides barely

touch the roll. Make sure the supply roll turns freely.

If you are using fan-fold supplies, place the

supply stack behind the printer, label side facing

up.

6. Push down on the supply lever to unlock the supply

guides.

7. Lay the label strip across the supply guide so that a

few inches extend past the front of the printer. Tuck

the supply under the nibs and in between the die cut

sensor. Do not feed supply between the supply roller

and deflector.

For fan-fold supplies, lay the label strip over the

supply holder and across the supply guide so that

a few inches extend past the front of the printer.

Tuck the supply under the nibs and in between the

11. Close the printhead by

pressing down on the

thumb well until you

hear it click into place.

12. Close the cover.

13. Press Feed/Cut several

times to feed at least

three labels/tags to

properly position the

supply and the ribbon.

Loading Labels for the Optional Peel Mode

Peel mode (on-demand) must be purchased separately. In

peel mode, the printer separates the backing paper from

the label. The next label is not printed until the completed

one is removed from the printer. Make sure the printer is

configured for on-demand mode and the correct supply

type is installed. The minimum feed length is 1.5 inches

for peel mode. Hold the leading edge of peeled labels

when printing labels longer than six inches. You must use

non-perforated supplies for peel mode. Follow the steps

for loading supplies from the previous section. Then,

follow these steps after you close the printhead.

Remove the labels from the first 10 inches of the

backing paper.

Press down on the exit cover tabs to open the exit

cover on the front of the printer.

Feed the backing paper over the peel bar.

Feed the backing paper through the lower opening of

the exit cover. Close the exit cover. Pull down on the

backing paper to remove any slack.

When removing the backing paper, pull up

across the saw-toothed tear edge. Make sure

the backing paper tears at the edge.

Close the printer's cover.

Press Feed/Cut several times to feed at least three

labels/tags to properly position the supply and the

ribbon.

Adjusting the Wide/Narrow Knobs

You may need to adjust the two wide/narrow knobs

according to the width of your supply. For supply that is

more than two inches, adjust the knobs to the wide setting.

For supply that is two inches or less, adjust the knobs to

the narrow setting.

You must adjust both of the knobs to the same position.

If you experience ribbon smudging in cold, dry

environments, adjust the wide/narrow knobs to the wide

setting.

For wide supplies, push down and turn the wide/narrow

knobs clockwise with a screwdriver.

For narrow supplies, turn the wide/narrow knobs counter-

clockwise with a screwdriver until it pops back up.

The adjustment is shown in the wide position.

Wide/Narrow Knobs

Loading Ribbon

Open the cover.

Unlock the printhead by turning the retaining latch.

Lift printhead assembly using the printhead tab until

the assembly locks into place.

Push the deflector tab down.

Slide the extra ribbon core on the take-up reel as far

as it will go with the "This End Out" writing facing out.

Use your empty ribbon core as the take-up core. The

take-up core only fits on the take-up reel one way.

Remove the new ribbon from the package. Do not

wrinkle or crush the new ribbon.

Slide the ribbon onto the back reel as far as it will go.

Carefully unwind a few inches of ribbon from the

bottom of the roll.

Note: Make sure the “This End Out” writing is facing

out. The ribbon roll only fits on the reel one way.
