MONARCH®ADTP2 ECOCUT™INSTRUCTIONS

Use these instructions for the Avery Dennison® Monarch® EcoCut™ Tabletop Printer 2. EcoCut

is designed to cut through the label material, but not the liner.

EcoCut supplies do not have black marks or die cuts; set the printer’s supply type to

continuous. We recommend setting the printer’s feed mode to on-demand (peel) mode or liner

take-up (peel with liner take-up) mode.

♦The peel chute is already installed to operate in peel mode. The printer separates the label

from the liner and the liner feeds out the front of the printer.

♦Remove the peel chute to operate in peel mode with liner take-up. The printer separates the

label from the liner and the liner is collected on a take-up reel near the supply roll.

♦The feed length for each print job may vary, depending on the length set in the format or at

the printer’s menu. See “Setting Supply Options” for more information.

Information in this document supersedes information in previous versions. Check our Web site

(www.printers.averydennison.com) for any updates.

CAUTION: Do not place your fingers or any other objects into the cutter.

EcoCut Tips

♦When removing printed labels, always lift up, using the cutter cover as a guide. Do not pull

the label to remove; doing so may cause the label to tear or the printer to lose registration.

♦With 6.0 inch (or longer) labels in on-demand mode, static build-up may cause the label to

stick to the printer’s peel door. Keep a finger below the printed label and lift up to remove,

using the cutter cover as a guide.

♦Opening the printer’s peel door may cause the next label to print in on-demand mode.

♦Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this document for optimal performance.

♦The EcoCut printer is only warranted with use of Avery Dennison-approved supplies.

♦Standard die cut supplies (non-EcoCut) may be used with this printer, but you may need to

remove the cutter cartridge. See “Replacing the Cutter Cartridge” for more information.

1800 to 4800 in 300 dpi (6.0” to 16.0”)

See below.

Setting the Supply Type

Continuous is the default setting. Using any other setting causes improper operation and/or

supply faults.

Setting the Ribbon

For thermal direct supplies, no ribbon is required. For thermal transfer supplies, load a ribbon.

See “Loading a Ribbon” for more information.

Setting the Feed Mode

On-Demand is the default setting. Liner Take-up mode works with EcoCut supply. We do not

recommend continuous mode with EcoCut supply.

Setting the Cut Mode

Set how the printer cuts supply. This printer has a rotary (pizza cutter) blade. For information

about cutter maintenance, see “Cleaning Adhesive from the Supply Path.” The printer does not

have a cut button – select the appropriate cut mode for your application.

Select To

Disabled Do not cut.

Cut each tag Cut after each tag in the batch. This is the default setting.

Cut each batch Cut after the last tag in the batch (cuts in strips) not each tag. We do

not recommend this setting with EcoCut supply.

Setting the Non-Indexed Length

The supply is cut based on the feed length in the format header’s

length parameter. See “Defining the Format Header” in the Packet

Reference Manual for more information. 0 indicates the length comes

from the format header. To override the setting in the format header,

specify the non-indexed length in dots. The default is six inches.The range is 1218 to 3248 in

203 dpi (6.0” to 16.0”) or 1800 to 4800 in 300 dpi (6.0” to 16.0”).

Select To

Decrease the setting. Shortens the feed length.

Increase the setting. Increases the feed length.

Note: Press the left function button to change the amount (by 1, 10, or 100).

hinges to remove it. DO

NOT detach the cable.

Loading a Ribbon

Note the ribbon loading as shown.

Rotate the take-up reel until any wrinkles are past the printhead. The ribbon must be straight

to the “home” position:

♦Close the printhead (with supply loaded)

and press FEED. The cutter moves to the

home position.

the cutter home position screw clockwise

until it stops. The cutter cartridge moves

slightly as the screw turns until it stops at

home.

Clearing a Cutter Jam

If supply jams in the cutter, the display turns red and you see error 759.

1. Press Escape to clear the error. If supply is jammed under the cutter cartridge, manually

move the cutter: Using a small flat-head screwdriver, turn the cutter cartridge’s screw

clockwise or counter-clockwise until it is away from the jammed supply.

2. Clear the supply path to remove jammed supply out of the cutter.

Caution: Do not place your fingers near the cutter’s blade.

3. Clean the supply path if you notice adhesive build-up. See “Cleaning Adhesive from the

Supply Path” for more information.

Cleaning Adhesive from the Supply Path

Clean the printer’s supply path regularly (approximately every 60,000 inches) or whenever

adhesive build-up is present. The printer prompts every 60,000 inches as a reminder to clean

the supply path. Only clean the cutter while the printer is idle (no active print jobs).

Adhesive build-up occurs on the

♦edges of the inner supply guides

♦sensors

♦peel bar/cutting anvil

♦bottom of the ribbon deflector.

♦cutter blade and depth control roller

To clean the printer’s supply path:

1. Open and remove the adhesive

remover wand (132839) from

the package. Do not touch the

foam end of the wand.

2. Use the foam end of the wand

to dampen the inner edges of

the supply guides, sensor, and

underneath the ribbon

deflector.
