Intended use
The label printers of the XLP 60x series are designed for printing label material, using the thermal or
thermal transfer printing process. In addition, the dispenser version of the printers can dispense self-
adhesive labels and can rewind the remaining backing paper (ar alternatively the complete label ma-
terial). It is possible to use a wide range of label materials and thermal transfer ribbons. Label stock
must be in roll shape or fan-folded. The label web can optionally be pulled-in from outside the printer
through the slots in the rear side or bottom plate.
Observe the technical specifications of the printer, see chapter Technical Data on page 11. Any
other type of or more extensive application will be considered abnormal use.
Operating position: The XLP 60x is a desktop printer. The intended use position is as shown standing
on a firm, flat, horizontal surface (e.g. on a table).
