Checking Your Box
Receiving the box of your printer, you are advised to
check first for the possible shipping damage. There are two ways you
can do it:
1. Inspect the outer appearances of both the box and the printer for
possible damage.
2. Raise the top cover of the printer to see if the media compartments
are in order.
If damages did occur, immediately file the claim to the shipping
company for settlement.
Having performed the primary inspections,next step,
please check whether you have received the following accessories
together with the printer. If there is any item missing, contact your
local dealer to get i t.

Power Supply
Setting up the Printer
Before setting up the printer you should first consider the following:
•Find a solid flat surface with adequate room for the printer. Make
sure there is enough room on the top side for the media and
ribbon access.
•The location should be near the host or terminal. Consider the
distance between host and printer for the communication cable
(serial or parallel cable)
•Clear the ground and isolate from other electrical cables for the
power adapter.
•Connecting the Power Cord
Note: For ITT4300, make sure the power switch on rear panel been
switched to correct position and fit local power source.
•Leave the power switch at the ”O” position.
•Connect the power supply plug to the power jack and the other
end to your AC source.

Loading the Ribbon
Notes:
1. This section is applicable to the transfer thermal printing.
2. Attached ribbon is coating inside.
1. Lift the top access door and the front access door to expose the
compartment. ( Figure 1 )
2. Push the head latch by anti-clockwise, and then fold the bracket.
( Figure 2 )
3. Unwrap the ribbon roll pack and separate the ribbon roll and the
bare core.
4. Insert the ribbon roll into the ribbon supply spindle. ( Figure 3 )
5. Lead the bare core through the print head module. ( Figure 4 )
6. Attach the edge of the ribbon on the bare core and wind it a little bit
onto the core.
Note: The dull side of the ribbon should be faced down.
7. Insert the bare core into the ribbon pick-up spindle. ( Figure 5 )
8. Turn the pick-up spindle to ensure the ribbon is tightly wound.

Loading the Media
The ITT4300 printers can be operated in three different options:
standard, peel-off, or with a cutter.
•Standard mode allows you to collect each label freely.
•In peel-off mode, the backing material is being peeled away from
the label as it is printed. After the former label is removed, the
next one will be printed.
Standard Mode
1. Insert the media roll into the media supply spindle and move the
media guide to the inside. ( Figure 6 )
2. Push the head latch by anti-clockwise, and then fold the bracket.
3. Remove the outside media guide. ( Figure 7 )
4. Lead the Media through the print head module and under the paper
sensor guide.( Figure 8 )
5. Put back the outside media guide, close the bracket, and buckle the
head latch. ( Figure 9 )
6. Close the top access door and the front access door and then turn
on the printer or press the “FEED” button if the printer is already on. (
Figure 10 )

LED Indicators
There are three LED indicators on the front panel,
“READY”, “MEDIA” and “RIBBON”. These indicators display the
operation status of the printer.
• READY
The READY indicator will remain lighted except if any of the
following conditions prevail.
- The printer is at PAUSE state.
- A fault condition
• MEDIA
The MEDIA indicator will remain on for the normal operation of the
printer.
Blinking – Media run out
• RIBBON
ON – under thermal transfer mode with ribbon installed.
OFF – under direct thermal mode. ( no ribbon installed )
Set by Windows driver or command.
Blinking – Ribbon run out

Buttons
There are three buttons, each having two basic functions.
Button Under normal condition Pressed the button
and turn on the power
simultaneously
FEED Feeds a label. Performs a self test
and a configuration
report will be printed.
PAUSE
•Stops the printing
process.
•Resume the printing
after press it again.
Perform the media
calibration.
CANCEL Interrupts and deletes the
printing task.
Forces the printer to
continue working after an
error had been solved.
Resets the settings at
E2PROM.
Notes:
1. We suggest you make “media calibration “.
- after the first time installation
- after change different type or size of media
2. After calibration the printer will save the related parameters (reflection
characteristics, label length, etc.) to E2PROM. Without correct calibration
the gap detection is easily lost during printing especially for small labels
(less than 1.5 inches in height).
3. Before calibration, the media and ribbon must be loaded properly and
move the label sensor to correct position.
4. After self-test, the printer is at dump mode, If you need normal
operation, you must press CANCEL to restart the printer.

There is a power slide switch for voltage selection. Set
correct voltage (115V or 230V) otherwise the printer will be
damaged.

Performing Calibration
After the media and label are loaded, it is necessary to do the
calibration for the label sensor.
1. Press and hold the PAUSE button.
2. Turn on the power.
3. The printer will feed the labels for 12 inches.
4. Finally the “READY” message is displayed, the READY and MEDIA
indicators stop blinking and remain illuminated.
Note:
This procedure is very important and must always be carried out after
installation and every time the media type is changed. Failure to do so
will result in the gap and label-empty detection being incorrect.
