1.0 Introduction
AVERY DENNISON has designed the SNAP
TM
700 printer for simple installation,
easy operation, and dependability. se your printer to produce two-sided,
brand/care labels paper hang tags and self-adhesive stickers for your apparel,
footwear, or other products needing identification. Printing up to a speed of up to
7 inches (178 mm) per second for care labels and 12 inches (305mm) per
second for tags and stickers, (supply dependent) the SNAP 700 printer features
quick change-outs of inks and tapes, multilingual voice prompts, and easy
operating system updates. Finally, the SNAP 700 printer supports various
options including RFID.
The SNAP 700 multiple head printer can have two different head configurations
when ordered. This manual covers both configurations.
This manual guides the printer operator as an easy-to-use, quick-reference
guide. It contains procedures for receiving, handling, set-up, installation,
operation, and maintenance of the SNAP 700 printer.
Please read this section of the manual to familiarize yourself with the printer and
to guide you through the initial receiving and set-up of your new SNAP 700
printer. Throughout this manual, a system of NOTES, CA TIONS, and
WARNINGS identify key information to ensure your personal safety and to proper
printer operation. Please review these carefully.
We also strongly suggest that you watch the 17-minute training video,
which is available on the D2Comm web site. Refer to the documentation
included with the printer for more details.
NOTES call attention to information that is especially
significant to understanding and operating the equipment.
CAUTION notices inform you of actions or situations in
which the printer might be damaged.
WARNIN notices describe situations in which lack of
attention or insufficient equipment knowledge could cause
either personal injury or damage to the printer.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Preparing for the installation
2.1.1 AC Power Line
NOTE: AVERY DENNISON requires that the minimum
electrical service be 10 Amps @ 115VAC or 6 Amps @
230VAC. This will allow you to plug the SNAP 700 printer,
PC, and any additional support or service equipment into
the same service. We highly recommend that the printer
and its accessories be on a dedicated circuit.
The electrical service supplying power to the SNAP 700 printer or to peripheral
equipment connected to the SNAP 700 printer should meet standard electrical
code practices, including proper grounding and neutrals.
2.1.2 Location Considerations
The SNAP 700 printer weighs 60 pounds (27.2 Kg) and requires a table of
sufficient quality and strength to handle this load. The printer requires an area of
approximately 72" wide x 30" deep x 32" high (1.8 m x 76 cm x 81 cm). The host
PC (if used) and any printer options will increase the required area. AVERY
DENNISON recommends using an industrial type worktable. Refer to Figure 1
below.
The SNAP 700 printer is designed for easy operator accessibility to the printer
controls and components. Select your SNAP 700 printer’s location to meet the
following criteria:
1. Physical demands on the operator will dictate proper height of the table
supporting the printer. Ensure the operator has comfortable access to the
printer. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Allow enough space for smooth flow of materials that the operator will
load on the printer as well as space for processing the finished product
from the printer.
3. While AVERY DENNISON has designed the printer to be reasonably
quiet, select an area where repetitious noise from printing and cutting
processes is acceptable.
CAUTION: Each customer must take responsibility to
ensure the workstation created for the SNAP 700 printer
meets the recommended requirements to ensure optimal
operation of the printer.
