1.0 Introduction

AVERY DENNISON has designed the SNAPTM 700 printer for simple installation,

easy operation, and dependability. Use 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, CAUTIONS, 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 Avery Dennison support 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.

WARNING notices describe situations in which lack of

attention or insufficient equipment knowledge could cause

either personal injury or damage to the printer.
