use; the user shall bear the risk alone.
• Usage for the intended purpose also includes complying with the operating
manual, including the manufacturer‘s maintenance recommendations and
specications.
• The device is manufactured in accordance with the current technological
status and the recognized safety rules. However, danger to the life and
limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device and other
tangible assets can arise during use.
• The device may only be used for its intended purpose and if it is in perfect
working order, and it must be used with regard to safety and dangers as
stated in the operating manual.

Warning!
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.

6 61 Introduction
1.3 Safety Instructions
• Disconnect the printer from the electrical outlet before mounting or
removing the perforator.
• The perforator may only be operated when it is mounted on the printer.
• Risk of injury, particularly during maintenance, the perforator blades are
sharp.
• Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or
service technicians.
• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can
cause malfunctions. Other unauthorized work on or modications to the
device can also endanger operational safety.
• Always have service work done in a qualied workshop, where the
personnel have the technical knowledge and tools required to do the
necessary work. Technical Support
• Warning stickers must not be removed, as then you and other people
cannot be aware of dangers and may be injured.
1.4 Environment



Obsolete devices contain valuable recyclable materials that should be sent
for recycling.
Send to suitable collection points, separately from residual waste.
The modular construction of the printer enables it to be easily disas-
sembled into its component parts.
Send the parts for recycling.
Take the electronic circuit boards to public waste disposal centers or to
the distributor.

10 103 Operation
3.1 Loading Material
Gently pull the perforator unit forward as shown in Figure 3,
Insert labels or continuous tube between the Printhead and drive roller, so
that the front edge reaches through the perforator unit.

113 Operation
3.2 Standard Operation
Switch on the printer.
The perforator performs a synchronization action.
i
Note!
To operate the perforator with continuous material in the printer
menu Setup ->Labels ->Label sensor the setting Continuous media has to be
selected. Otherwise no synchronization cut is carried out.
Press . For synchronization the media will be moved forward and
cut off.
That synchronization is not necessary when the printhead was not opened
between print jobs, even if the printer was powered off between print jobs.
Send a print job.
All labels in a print job will be printed without stopping and be perforated or
cut as chosen in the software : after each label, after a specic quantity of
labels, or at the end of a print job.
i
Note!
Between the print jobs a direct cut can be released by pressing
on the control panel.

12 12
i
Note!
The values of the setup are basic settings for the current printer/
perforator combination.
After changing the perforator or printer a re-adjustment may be
necessary.
Changes required for print jobs should be made in the label
printing software.
The offset values from setup and software are added together for
execution.
Cut Parameters
Start menu.
Select Setup > Cutting.
Parameter Meaning Default
Cut position Offset of the cut position relative to the rear
label edge.
The setting can also be adjusted by the
software.
The settings of conguration and software
are added together.
0.0 mm
Perforation level Setting of the perforation depth.
The setting can also be adjusted by the
software.

Backfeed
Start menu.
Select Setup > Printing.
Parameter Meaning Default
Backfeed Method for backfeeding the label medium.
Backfeeding is necessary in the cutting
and peel-off modes since a label is pushed
out passed the front edge of the next label
above the print line when peeling off/cutting.
always: Backfeeding occurs independently of
label contents.
smart: Backfeeding only occurs when the
next label is not yet completely prepared
when peeling off/cutting the current label.
Otherwise, the second label is pushed on
and completed after removal of the rst label
without backfeeding.

Label Sensor
Start menu.
Select Setup > Labels.
Parameter Meaning Default
Label sensor Method for detecting the starting end of the
label.
Gap Sensor: Detection using changes in the
transparency between the label and label
gap.
Bottom-Reflect: Detection using reex marks on
the bottom of the medium.
Continuous media: Checking the existence of
media only.

14 145 Cleaning and Replacing the Blades
!
Warning!
Disconnect the printer from the electrical outlet.
!
Warning!
Risk of injury. The perforator blades are sharp.
i
Notice!
When cutting through the label material instead of the label gap
remains of adhesive may accumulate on the blades. If operating in
backfeed mode, such remains of adhesive may be deposited on the
drive roller as well.
Clean the drive roller and the perforator blades often.

If necessary, replace the blades.
Push the lower blade down into the guides (11).
If necessary, put the springs (12) back into the spring retainers (13).
To re-mount the upper blade push the lower blade down on the cover
and push the upper blade into the guide until the gear racks (7) can
engage with the gear wheels (5).
Turn the shaft (6) counterclockwise using a torx wrench TX10 until the
blade reaches the upper limit.
5. Fit the blade unit (3) according to Fig. 4 into the axes (2) and fold it
towards the cover (4) until it snaps in.
6. Gently push the perforator unit onto the printer.
