Safety Precautions
To prevent personal injury or property damage, the following shall be strictly observed.
The degree of possible injury and damage due to incorrect use/maintenance or improperly
following instructions is described below.
Indicates a situation which, if not observed and handled properly, could
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a situation which, if not observed and handled properly, could
result in injury or property damage.
: This is a mark to call attention to the reader.
Before starting disassembly/reassembly or mechanical adjustment, be sure to
disconnect the power cord from the power source. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.
Observe the following in maintenance work:
• Do not disassemble/reassemble or adjust the machine, if it functions properly.
Particularly, do not loosen screws on any component, unless necessary.
• After completing an inspection and before turning on the power, be sure to check that
there is no abnormality.
• Never try to print without media.
• Check that the media is properly set.
• Do not lay anything on the cover or lean against it during maintenance or while the
printer is in operation.
• During maintenance, be careful not to leave parts or screws unattached or loose
inside the printer.
• When handling a printed circuit board, do not use gloves, etc., which can easily
cause static electricity. Since ICs, such as CPU, RAM and ROM, might be destroyed
by static electricity, do not touch lead wires or windows unnecessarily.
• Do not put the printed circuit boards directly on the printer or on the floor.
• When disassembling or reassembling, check wires for any damage and do not pinch
or damage them. Also, run wires as they were.

1-2. Printable Area
The printable area of the printer is as follows:
When media is set to the printer, aligned it with the media guide at the left of the “Unit Mechanism”.
Though the available maximum media width is 118 mm (4.65"), there are unprintable areas on
both sides: 2.5 mm (0.10") width on the left side and 11.5 mm (0.45") width on the right side.
The unprintable areas on both sides apply to any size media.

(0.04") backward the leading edge of the label, U-shaped notch, or black mark.
2.5 mm (0.10") is the necessary value to avoid printing in the unprintable area as mentioned in “1-2.

1-4. Adjustable Sensors
There are two media sensors; the upper sensor (transparent sensor) and the bottom sensor
(reflective sensor). Both upper sensor and bottom sensor are used to detect the labels on the liner
or the U-shaped notches of tag. The bottom sensor is used to detect the black marks on tag. Also,
both sensors are used to detect media end.
The mechanical adjustable ranges of sensors are as follows.
Upper sensor (transparent sensor): 2.8 to 60.8 mm (0.11 to 2.39”)
Lower sensor (reflective sensor): -0.2 to 57.8 mm (-0.01 to 2.28”)
Each sensor is adjustable independently. However, when you use the upper sensor (transparent
sensor), the lower sensor (reflective sensor) must be always used together so that they become a
set of sensors.
When both sensors are moved to the left end or the right end (center of the printing mechanism),
both sensors coincide for detecting a label or U-shaped notch.
For details about the media sensors, refer to “2-1-3 Label/Tag Detection Mechanism”.

2-1. Operation of Each Mechanism
This printer is comprised of the following mechanisms:
media feed/printing, label/tag detection, ribbon feed, ribbon running detection, print head up/down
detection, head balance adjustment and media thickness adjustment.
This section describes the operation of each of these mechanisms.
2-1-1. Locations and Functions of Major Electrical Parts
The following shows the locations and functions of major electrical parts.
