1.0 Introdu tion
AVERY DENNISON has designed the SNAP
TM
700 printer for ease of installation,
si ple operation, low cost of ownership, and dependability. The SNAP 700
printer is capable of printing two-sided brand/care labels at a rate of up to 12
inches (305 ) per second. Your SNAP 700 printer allows for quick change-
outs of inks, stock, and label sizes, providing the versatility required to eet
ost brand/care labeling needs. Finally, the SNAP 700 printer supports various
options including RFID.
This anual guides the printer operator as an easy-to-use, quick-reference guide.
It contains procedures for receiving, handling, set-up, installation, operation, and
aintenance of the SNAP 700 printer.
Please read this section of the anual to fa iliarize yourself with the printer and
to guide you through the initial receiving and set-up of your new SNAP 700
printer. Throughout this anual, a syste of NOTES, CAUTIONS, and
WARNINGS identify key infor ation to ensure your personal safety and to
proper printer operation. Please review these carefully.
We also strongly suggest that you watch the 17-minute training video, which is
available on the D2Comm web site. Refer to the documentation included with
the rinter for more details.
NOTES all attention to information that is espe ially
signifi ant to understanding and operating the equipment.
CAUTION noti es inform you of a tions or situations in
whi h the printer might be damaged.
WARNING noti es des ribe situations in whi h la k of
attention or insuffi ient equipment knowledge ould ause
either personal injury or damage to the printer.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Preparing for the installation
2.1.1 AC Power Line
NOTE: AVERY DENNISON requires that the minimum
ele tri al servi e be 10 Amps @ 115VAC or 6 Amps @
230VAC. This will allow you to plug the SNAP 700 printer,
PC, and any additional support or servi e equipment into
the same servi e. We highly re ommend that the printer
and its a essories be on a dedi ated ir uit.
The electrical service supplying power to the SNAP 700 printer or to peripheral
equip ent connected to the SNAP 700 printer should eet standard electrical
code practices, including proper grounding and neutrals.
2.1.2 Lo ation Considerations
The SNAP 700 printer weighs 60 pounds (27.2 Kg) and requires a table of
sufficient quality and strength to handle this load. The printer requires an area
of approxi ately 72" wide x 30" deep x 32" high (1.8 x 76 c x 81 c ). The
host PC (if used) and any printer options will increase the required area. AVERY
DENNISON reco ends using an industrial type worktable. Refer to Figure 1
below.
The SNAP 700 printer is designed for easy operator accessibility to the printer
controls and co ponents. Select your SNAP 700 printer’s location to eet the
following criteria:
1. Physical de ands on the operator will dictate proper height of the table
supporting the printer. Ensure the operator has co fortable access to the
printer. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Allow enough space for s ooth flow of aterials that the operator will
load on the printer as well as space for processing the finished product
fro the printer.
3. While AVERY DENNISON has designed the printer to be reasonably
quiet, select an area where repetitious noise fro printing and cutting
processes is acceptable.
CAUTION: Ea h ustomer must take responsibility to
ensure the workstation reated for the SNAP 500 printer
meets the re ommended requirements to ensure optimal
operation of the printer.
