GETTING STARTED
The Avery Dennison® Pathfinder® 6059 prints, scans, and collects data. The printer
operates in peel mode or non-peel mode. The printer uses the Android™ 7.1 platform.
The 6059 may contain
♦an optional RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) module, which the printer uses to encode
(program) an RFID inlay while printing. RFID inlays contain an embedded programmable
microchip and an antenna. See Chapter 3, “Using RFID” for more information.
RFID supplies can be damaged by static electricity. Ground yourself by touching
metal before handling the RFID supplies.
♦an optional 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN plus Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode radio.
Use the standard Android Settings app to make changes to the screen brightness, setting the
date/time, notifications, etc. This manual does not address the Android Settings.
Audience
This manual is for the System Administrator who configures the printer/scanner and performs
diagnostics using the Printer Setup and Asset Tracking Applications. Printer Setup and Asset
Tracking are pre-loaded applications on each 6059 printer.
A Setup Guide is included with each printer. Review the Safety Document included with your
printer and the Regulatory information found on our web site. Keep the box and packaging
materials in case the printer ever needs repair.
Using the Printer
The power button is red. Press and hold the power button to
turn off or restart the printer.
The printer has a touch screen display. Use your finger (or a
stylus) to select options. To scroll within a menu, quickly swipe
with your finger. You can also slightly press while swiping up
or down. A quick tap always launches the selected item.
When the printer is turned on, swipe up the screen to unlock.
The display has several icons:
Key Description
Back - returns to the previous screen/menu
Home – user sees the Home screen.
Overview – opens thumbnails of recently used applications, which allows you to
switch tasks easily.
Apps – shows your applications and widgets.
Use a soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use household cleaners.

Status Bar
The status bar shows the battery voltage, connection type, wireless signal strength, etc. similar
to the icons on mobile phones.
Using the Keyboard
To enter data on the printer, the following keyboards are available:
Changing the Printer’s Display Language
Use the standard Android Settings app to change the Languages & input settings.
Installing an Application
Use the Update Tools Application to install applications. Add one
application at a time.
Use a USB flash/thumb drive, formatted to FAT32, to transfer the .APK
file to your printer.
1. Open the Update Tools application.
2. Insert the thumb drive into the printer.
3. Tap Apps and Browse.
4. Navigate to the .APK file on the USB thumb drive.
5. Tap the .APK file and follow the on-screen instructions. The
application loads.
Connecting the Printer to a Wireless Network
The printer has an optional 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN plus Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode radio. The
radio is dual band and operates within the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz RF Bands.
Use the standard Android Settings app to configure the printer for Wi-Fi.
Using Bluetooth® to Connect the Printer
The printer has an optional Bluetooth®4.2 dual mode, which has both Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR
mode and 4.2 Bluetooth mode. Bluetooth operates within the 2.4GHz band.
Bluetooth is a way to wirelessly communicate between devices. Your device must be Bluetooth
enabled (contain a Bluetooth chip) to use Bluetooth technology. The Bluetooth-enabled printer
has a line-of-sight range of approximately 3,280 feet (1 km). It can connect to a PC, other
Bluetooth-enabled device, or a LAN network. The maximum number of printers that can connect
via Bluetooth to one smart device is seven.
Enable Wi-Fi, then enable Bluetooth. Bluetooth does not function correctly until Wi-Fi is

Classification: Avery Dennison – Public Getting Started 1-3
Adding Users
Use the standard Android Settings app to create users.
Only Owners are allowed to process Over The Air (OTA) updates.
Over The Air Core Updates
The 6059 printer has our pre-configured Cloud server address to receive core updates, similar
to the way mobile phones receive OS updates. The printer receives a ZIP file. The printer’s
core system includes the Print Engine, Display Board and RFID firmware. Once the printer is
connected to a network (WiFi or Ethernet) and an update is available, the printer displays a
notification.
For more information, refer to the Printer Update Guide.
If updates are available, follow the on-screen instructions. The printer turns off then on while
processing the update. You see a message “Installing System Update” and the red LED. The
update is complete when the red LED stops blinking.
Customer-installed applications remain when the core is updated.
Using Device Hardening
The printer’s USB ports and radio may be disabled for security reasons within your environment.
The printer contains two USB ports. The smaller port is the device port that connects the printer
to a PC. The larger port is the host port that allows file transfer with a flash/thumb drive. If
USB is disabled, both USB ports are disabled.
1. Open the Printer Setup Application.
2. Tap the three dots icon to login as an Administrator using the password: 1234.
3. Tap Device Hardening.
4. Deselect USB Enabled and/or Radio Enabled as necessary.
5. Restart the printer for the changes to take effect. To restart the printer, press and hold the
red power button until the Restart option appears.

Resetting the Printer to Factory Defaults
Use the standard Android Settings app Backup & reset function to reset the printer to factory
defaults.
Performing a factory default erases all previously installed applications and requires
reformatting the SD card. Application data is saved if it was backed up.
What if I Forget My Password/Passcode?
You may lock the printer with a password or passcode. If you forget the password/passcode,
contact Service to recover the printer. Service can reset the printer, but you will lose all
installed applications and data on the SD card (if it was not backed up).
Please keep your password/passcode in a secure location.
Using the Asset Tracking Application
Asset tracking contains the manufacturer’s product ID and serial number, and the owner’s
product ID and serial number. A password is required to edit this data. The default password is
123321. You can print an asset tracking label that contains the product IDs and serial numbers
for your records.
Editing Owner Data
To edit the owner data:
1. Open the Asset Tracking application.
2. Tap the pencil to edit the data.
3. Enter the password (123321).
4. Select the Owner Product ID field.
5. Use the keyboard or scan a bar code to enter a new Product ID.
6. Select the Owner Serial Number field.
7. Use the keyboard or scan a bar code to enter a new Serial Number.
8. Select the Owner Data field and enter your information.
Note: The OEM Product ID and Serial Number cannot be changed as it is entered by the

Setting the Sensor Type
The printer can print on black mark, non-
indexed (fax/receipt paper), and die cut
supplies (with black marks). The printer
defaults to using the black mark sensor.
Your printer may have a custom application
that automatically sets this value. Set the
printer’s sensor type to match the loaded
supplies.
Refer to “Calibrating the Sensors” in the
printer’s Equipment Manual to calibrate the
supply.
Select For
Black Mark Black mark supplies have black marks on the back of the
supply for sensing.
Non-indexed Continuous supplies such as fax or receipt paper that do
not have any sense marks.
Die Cut with black marks Die cut supplies with black marks on the back of the
supply for sensing.
Calibrating the Sensors
Calibrate the sensors
♦on initial printer setup
♦whenever the sensor/supply is changed (from black mark to die cut or vice versa)
♦if using labels with a different color backing (besides white).
Refer to the printer’s Equipment Manual for information about calibrating supply.
Feeding a Label
To feed a blank (or printed label), press Feed from the Supply Menu. A blank label feeds out of
the printer.
