2. Provide adequate clearance around the machine to allow easy access for inspection
and maintenance.
3. Ensure there is an appropriate power source and ethernet connection nearby.
Power Requirements:
Use of a HIGH QUALITY surge protector or uninterruptible power supply is REQUIRED by ADSI.
Failure to do so could affect your warranty coverage if a problem arises due to improper power
connection!
Risk of Electric Shock - The power cord is a three-conductor cable that uses a safety (earth)
ground connection. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that has an earth ground
contact. NEVER plug the power cord into a two-prong outlet by using a 3=2 cord adapter.
Risk of Electrical Fire - NEVER allow roll or sheet goods to rub on the power cord as the
 materialmaydamagethecordcausinganelectricalrehazard!
Power Conguration:
ADSI products are factory preset for the power requirements of the destination country. The machine
conguration is indicated on the power input module as either 115V or 230V. Changing voltage range
requires changing printer. Do not change voltage setting.
Changing the Fuse Conguration:
1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the fuse block on the power input end panel.
2. Open the fuse block cover with a small at screwdriver and pull out the fuse block.
1.0.2 Site Preparation

10
Changing the Fuse Conguration (continued):
3. Reverse the position of the fuse block so that the desired voltage will appear in the fuse
block cover.
4. Close the fuse block cover and verify that the desired voltage is showing.
Risk of Electrical Fire - Do not change the fuse location in the fuse block. Do not put
a 10-amp fuse in place of a 5-amp fuse. Do not put a 5-amp fuse in place of a
10-amp fuse.

1.2 Webbing the roll media and Test Print
Once the AXXIS HS print driver is installed, it is recommended to perform a test print to ensure
the connection to the printer is operational.
Webbing the AXXIS HS
Load the roll media onto the input mandrel. Rotate the red nip handle to the 12 o’clock position to
allow material insertion between nip and grit rollers. Open the media guides using the turn handle
to allow material to fall in a straight path when webbed.
Web the media underneath the white dancer bar and between the grit roller and nip roller, con-
tinuing through the gap sensor on the gear side of the unit to the centering tray. When material is
fully webbed, rotate the red nip handle to the 6 o’clock position to close the nip roller and lock the
material in place. Holding the leading edge of the roll media, press the Cut button and remove
the excess material. Roll media will automatically advance to the optimal start position. You can
then tighten media guides on the centering tray with the turn handle leaving roughly 1/16” gap
between edge of the material and inside of the guide.
Preforming a Print Station Test Print
Click on the start menu of your Windows based PC and click on “Printers and Faxes.”
An icon specifying the AXXIS HS will appear in this window.
Right click on the icon and select Printer Properties for Windows Vista, 7,8 & Properties for
Windows XP. A new menu will appear with a “Print Test Page” option.
If a test page does not print, go back to your Data CD-ROM and check the setup.
Attaching the Web to Rewinder
Once a Print is sent to the printer it will exit the rear of the printer. Guide the media under the
white dancer bar, and attach it to the core on the take up mandrel. While attaching it slowly drop
the take up dancer bar to engage the take up mandrel. The system will adjust speeds to keep up
with printer speed.

inches long, simply add copies until it is.

On the Layout Screen, right click on the label frame → select Add Copies → select number of
copies you need to make your layout at least 11 inches long (if using AXXIS HSTrainingLabel_5_
inch.eps then add 2 copies) → hit Okay.
Now that the copies are in the layout
screen, insure you have paper size
set to roll and tray set to multi purpose
tray. Set the bottom margin and the
x gap to be the same value.
Bottom margin is on the gears page
and the gap is on the unit options
page. The left gap value is the left
right on the layout and the right gap
value is the up/down direction on the
layout.
In the Layout there are three labels
in each frame (per SmartMark) and
three frames in the layout. This
means we have 9 labels per layout. If
you wanted to print a job of 100 labels
we want to print the layout twelve
times (9 x 12 = 108). To do this change the Copies to Print to 12, see below.
To print the job click on the printer icon at the top of the screen to RIP & Print. The job will rasterize,
then spool, then print. The copy count on the front panel of the printer will count how many layouts
have printed.

1.3.0 Cleaning the Printer
Occasionaly you will need to clean the loose toner inside and outside of the printer. The toner will
adhere to the internal components and needs to be regualarly cleaned. This can be done with a
clean dry cloth and a toner vacuum. Follow the steps below:
NOTE: Try not to touch the image drum terminals, the LED lens array and the LED head
connectors when cleaning the printer.
1. Turn off the power of the printer.
2. Press down the OPEN to open the top cover.
3. Remove the image drum cartridge.
a) Remove the four image drum cartridges and place them on a at
workbench.
b) Cover the removed image drum cartridge with a black paper.
4. Remove the fuser unit.
a) Raise the two blue fuser unit lock
levers in the direction shown by the arrow.
b) Hold the handle of the fuser unit
and remove it.
5. Clean the metal shaft as pictured below
with a soft clean cloth or soft tissue paper.
6. Using a similar soft clean cloth or soft tissue paper, wipe away any
loose toner within the printer. If there is a large build up of toner, use a
toner vacuum to clean it out.
7. All of the internal components that were removed to perform clean-
ing will have contact point terminals that send signals to the printer. Pay
special attention to these contact points and do not clean them with any chemicals. Simply use a
toner vacuum to clean up any loose toner on the connectors. This will ensure a good connection
without damaging them.
