This Quick Reference contains supply loading and general care and maintenance
procedures. For more detailed information, the Operator’s Handbook is on the
enclosed CD-ROM or can be downloaded from our Web site (www.monarch.com).
Check our Web site for the latest release/addendum information.
Connecting the Cables
The power supply automatically switches between 115V or 230V. There are no
operator settings required.
1. Plug the power cable into the socket. Plug the other end of the cable into a
grounded electrical outlet.
2. Connect the communication cable into the appropriate
port. Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial)
or spring clips (parallel).
If you are communicating with the host through the serial
port, make sure the printer's communication values match
those at the host. The factory default values are 9600
Baud, 8 bit data frame, 1 stop bit, no parity, and DTR flow
control. Set the communication values on the printer to
match those at the host.
The printer also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus)
version 2.0 communications port, which is compatible with
version 1.1. Drivers are available on our Web site
for a variety of operating systems. These drivers
provide a Virtual Communications Port (VCP),
which looks like a normal serial port (for
example, COM1-4). After installing the
drivers, change the communications port
to the one allocated by the VCP driver.

Adjusting the Wide/Narrow Knobs
You may need to adjust the two wide/narrow knobs according to the width of your
supply. For supply that is more than two inches, adjust the knobs to the wide
setting. For supply that is two inches or less, adjust the knobs to the narrow
setting.
You must adjust both of the knobs to the
same position.
If you experience ribbon smudging in
cold, dry environments, adjust the
wide/narrow knobs to the wide setting.
For wide supplies, push down and turn
the wide/narrow knobs clockwise with a
screwdriver.
For narrow supplies, turn the
wide/narrow knobs counter-clockwise
with a screwdriver until it pops back up.

see “PRINT MODE Ready” on the keyboard.
2. Download a format and a batch. Refer to the optional Packet Reference
Manual for information on downloading print jobs.

Service Knife Soon
Each time you turn on the printer, this message appears and then disappears. Call
Service to schedule an appointment for knife maintenance.
If you ignore this message, the printer eventually displays “Knife Jam” and the knife
stops working. You must press Escape (E) to clear the error and the knife may
cut a few more tags before it stops working.

Cleaning
You must clean the printhead as described below to maintain printhead life.
CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead.
This may damage the printhead and require a service charge.
The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the
printer. You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller:
♦ if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path.
♦ after printing approximately 3 rolls of thermal transfer/thermal
direct supplies or after each ribbon.
♦ daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid
environment. Voids
♦ if you frequently receive supply error codes or when you see
voids or streaking in the print as shown.
1. Turn off the printer and open the cover and printhead assembly. Streaks
2. Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).
3. Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or a label is
wrapped around the platen roller. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a
toothbrush, to clean either the standard (black) or linerless (red/orange
textured) platen roller.
If the brush does not remove all the adhesive
♦ use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the standard (black) platen roller.
Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab
across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller with your finger to
make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.
After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing
to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.
♦ call Service to clean the linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller.
Note: Do not use alcohol or solvents on linerless (red/orange textured) platen
rollers.
4. Rub the cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol across the peel bar and
remove any build-up.
