This Quick Reference contains supply loading and general care and maintenance

procedures. For more detailed information, the Operator’s Handbook is on the

enclosed CD-ROM or can be downloaded from our Web site (www.monarch.com).

Check our Web site for the latest release/addendum information.

Connecting the Cables

The power supply automatically switches between 115V or 230V. There are no

operator settings required.

1. Plug the power cable into the socket. Plug the other end of the cable into a

grounded electrical outlet.

2. 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. 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. These drivers

provide a Virtual Communications Port (VCP),

which looks like a normal serial port (for

example, COM1-4). After installing the

drivers, change the communications port

to the one allocated by the VCP driver.

4. Place the roll of supply on the supply holder. For tags, make sure the supply

unrolls from the bottom, because tag rolls are wound face in. For labels, the

supply unrolls from the top or the bottom. 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.

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

7. Lay the supply into the feed path. Tuck the supply under the nibs and in

between the die cut sensor. Do not feed supply between the supply roller

and deflector.

8. For tags or labels, feed the supply between the upper and lower knife guides

with at least 0.5 inches of supply through the knife.

For labels, your System Administrator should use cut mode 5 to cut in strips.

two blank labels left between the printhead and knife after the last batch.

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.

Printing

Before you print, make sure the printer is connected and ready to receive data.

see “PRINT MODE Ready” on the keyboard.

2. Download a format and a batch. Refer to the optional Packet Reference

Manual for information on downloading print jobs.

3. The printer prints the format.

4. Remove the printed supply. If the printer will be unused for extended periods

of time, we recommend leaving the printhead unlatched.

Knife Maintenance

The knife alerts you when it requires maintenance. When the knife reaches three

million cuts and the printer is turned on, the keyboard briefly displays

Service Knife Soon

Each time you turn on the printer, this message appears and then disappears. Call

Service to schedule an appointment for knife maintenance.

If you ignore this message, the printer eventually displays “Knife Jam” and the knife

stops working. You must press Escape (E) to clear the error and the knife may

cut a few more tags before it stops working.

Cleaning

You must clean the printhead as described below to maintain printhead life.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead.

This may damage the printhead and require a service charge.

The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the

printer. You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller:

♦ if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path.

♦ after printing approximately 3 rolls of thermal transfer/thermal

direct supplies or after each ribbon.

♦ daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid

environment. Voids

♦ if you frequently receive supply error codes or when you see

voids or streaking in the print as shown.

1. Turn off the printer and open the cover and printhead assembly. Streaks

2. Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).

3. Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or a label is

wrapped around the platen roller. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a

toothbrush, to clean either the standard (black) or linerless (red/orange

textured) platen roller.

If the brush does not remove all the adhesive

♦ use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the standard (black) platen roller.

Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab

across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller with your finger to

make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.

After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing

to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.

♦ call Service to clean the linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller.

Note: Do not use alcohol or solvents on linerless (red/orange textured) platen

rollers.

4. Rub the cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol across the peel bar and

remove any build-up.
