(De)activating the internal rewinder
Only applies to AP 5.4/5.6 dispensers with baffle plate installed.
Activate Ensure that material has been inserted before you activate the rewinding function,
otherwise a fault message will appear!
For information on inserting material, see topic section “Setup”, chapter Inserting La-
bel Material on page 6.
Set
1. SYSTEM PARAMETER > Periph. device to “Intern Rewinder”.
Do not confuse this with “Rewinder” because this setting activates the external
rewinder (additional device)!
After being activated, the system checks the direction of rotation of the rewinder.
“Facing outside” is set by default.
2. If required, press the cut/feed button to change the direction of rotation.
3. Press the ENTER button to confirm your selection.
The printer restarts. Afterwards, an additional menu REWINDER PARA can be
opened from the main menu, and this contains the Rewind direction parameter. Using
this parameter, you can change the direction of rotation.
During the initialisation, the printer attempts to tighten the label strip.
Deactivate Set SYSTEM PARAMETER > Perip. device to “None”.
Possible fault The following error message may appear briefly after activating the internal rewinder:
Possible causes include:
• No material has been inserted or end of material has not been fastened to rewind-
er. Fasten end of material to rewinder and press Online button.
• The material strip is sagging in front of the rewinder. Press the Online button.
Modifying main
initialisation
After this, the printer is ready for the first job. As soon as a job is received, the rewinder
controller calculates the main initialisation values for the rewinding process on the ba-
sis of the given material width and printing speed. These values are suitable for a wide
range of applications.
However, these settings may cause too much printer offset in certain special applica-
tions. In these cases, the main initialisation values will have to be modified. Such ap-
plications include printing on:
• Very narrow labels
• Very coarse backing paper
• Very thick backing paper compared to the label
• Labels stuck on the backing paper
• Backing paper perforated along label contour
Only qualified service technicians are permitted to edit the main initialisation val-
ues!
