4420 and 4440 Printer Self-Strip/Batch Takeup User’s Manual

Introduction to the Self-Strip/Batch Takeup Option

The self-strip/batch takeup option enables the 4420 or 4440 printer to operate in

Self-Strip or Batch mode. When you use the printer in Self-Strip mode, the

printer strips each label off of the backing as it leaves the printer. When you use

the printer in Batch mode, the printer can collect an entire roll of media on the

media takeup hub.

This manual explains how to:

•load media to use self-strip.

•load media to use batch takeup.

•configure the printer for Self-Strip or Batch mode.

•clean the self-strip roller and sensors.

•troubleshoot the self-strip/batch takeup option.

Loading Media for Self-Strip

Self-strip allows you to apply labels as soon as they are printed by having the

printer peel the media backing away from individual labels one at a time. The

label taken sensor signals the printer that a label has been removed so that it

will print the next label.

For optimal performance, load your printer with Intermec self-strip media.

Fanfold media is not recommended because the backing might tear along the

perforation.

Note: After the printer prints the last label and passes the end of the media roll through

the printhead, the takeup hub will turn for a few revolutions before stopping.

To load media for self-strip

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Load media into the printer, leaving the media cover off. For help, see your

printer user’s manual.

3. Turn the head lift lever clockwise to raise the printhead.

Configuring Your Printer for Self-Strip or Batch

The following procedure explains how to use PrintSet to enable either Self-Strip

or Batch mode. To operate in Self-Strip mode, the media must be loaded onto

the takeup hub. The printer can operate in Batch mode without the media being

loaded onto the takeup hub; the printed media will collect in front of the

printer instead of into a roll on the takeup hub.

This procedure also explains setting the label width and configuring the printer

for a hot and humid environment.

To configure your printer for Self-Strip or Batch mode

1. Connect the printer to your PC and start PrintSet.

Note: Under the Printer Select menu, check that PrintSet is set up for your printer

(4420 or 4440). To customize the configuration for your printer, see the Help

menu.

2. Click the Paper Handling button.

3. From the Paper Handling dialog box, select Self-Strip or Batch.

4420 and 4440 Printer Self-Strip/Batch Takeup User’s Manual

4. If you work in a hot or humid environment (temperature at or above 104°F

[40°C] and humidity at or above 90 percent), select the Hot/Humid

Environment box.

5. Choose OK.

6. Click the Paper Type button.

7. From the Paper Type dialog box, set the Label Width to match the width of

the media in the printer. The default setting is 4 inches.

8. For Self-Strip mode, make sure you select Gap under Label Stock.

9. Choose OK.

Note: If you want to change other configuration settings, you should do so before

going to Step 10. For help changing the configuration, see the Help menu.
