01/15 Rev. 02 USER MANUAL Selecting the printing material

DPM ‒PEM

Selecting the printing material

Thermal transfer / direct thermal printing

DPM and PEM print modules can print onto label material using the direct thermal

mode or thermal transfer mode.

Direct thermal Direct thermal printing is done without ribbon. The direct thermal process requires la-

bel material with a temperature-sensitive coating. The printout is produced by applying

precise bursts of heat to the material under the printhead. This changes the colour of

the coating.

Thermal transfer Thermal transfer printing is done with (thermal transfer) ribbon on “normal” label ma-

terial. The printout is produced by applying precise bursts of heat to the thermal trans-

fer ribbon under the printhead. This transfers the colour particles to the label.

Label material

DPM/PEM modules were developed for printing on self-adhesive stock, PEM modules

can additionally print on tagstock.

Pay attention to the following factors when selecting label material:

• The roughness of the material surface.

• The printhead temperature required for the colour transfer.

• Size of the material roll. The following dimensions need to be checked: Outside-/

inside diameter of the material roll and the material width

Material roughness If the material is very rough, the printhead will be worn down more quickly than when

using a smooth material. This is an important aspect of thermal printing. With thermal

transfer printing, this doesn’t pose such a problem, because you can – and indeed

should – select a ribbon that is wider than the material. This means that the printhead

is protected over the entire width of the material.

Printhead temperature High printhead temperatures can similarly cause problems. The material and the rib-

bon take longer to cool. As a result, the print quality may degrade – particularly at high

print speeds. The printhead also wears down more quickly.

The printing result is highly dependent on the right combination of label material

and thermal transfer ribbon. The surface of the label material determines which ther-

mal transfer ribbons produces the best adhesion. Unsuitable ribbons can lead to poor

printing results.

Further information can be found in the topic section Technical data , section “Label

material”.

01/15 Rev. 02 USER MANUAL Selecting the printing material

DPM ‒PEM

Thermal transfer ribbon

The following is recommended for thermal transfer ribbons:

• The back of the ribbon should be coated so that it produces no static or friction (

• Backcoating). If this isn’t the case, the printhead may be damaged by static dis-

charge coming off the ribbon surface.

• The ribbons need to be designed for “corner edge” printheads.

• Ribbons should be able to handle print speeds of up to 400 mm/s (16 ips).

• Size of the ribbon roll: The following dimensions need to be checked: outside/in-

side diameter of the ribbon roll, ribbon width.

The thermal transfer ribbon should only be slightly wider than the label material.

• If an overly narrow ribbon is used, the border of the label material interferes with

the printhead – which wears it down more quickly.

•Ifanoverly wide ribbon is used, creasing may occur in the ribbon. This can led to

poor printing results.

For more details on the permissible dimensions of ribbon rolls, refer to Technical

data , “Thermal Transfer Ribbon”.

CAUTION! - Thermal transfer ribbons without these properties can degrade the

performance of the printer and the print quality as well as damage the printhead!

01/15 Rev. 02 USER MANUAL Inserting label material

DPM ‒PEM

Inserting label material

Label material must be fed to the DPM/PEM using the

equipment in which the module has been installed. This

also applies to rewinding the backing paper (DPM).

For information on the design requirements, refer to the

“Setup” section of the Service manual.

WARNING!

Rotating parts can trap items and draw them in!

When working on the printer, do not wear loose jewellery, long sleeves, long hair,

and similar.

Close the printer cover before printing.

During operation, the printhead can become hot.

Be careful when touching the printhead!

01/15 Rev. 02 USER MANUAL Inserting label material

DPM ‒PEM

DPM

1. Open the rear hood.

2. Adjusting the material guide to fit the width of the la-

bel material. To do this, release the thumb screw

[3A] on the outer side of the material guide, slide

the material guide [3B] across at right angles to the

feed direction and retighten the thumb screw.

The material should insert easily through the

guides.

3. Press the red opener [4A] to raise the pressure

rollers [4B]. Keeping the opener depressed, insert

the label material under the pressure rollers and

printhead [5B].

4. Keeping the opener depressed, reposition the pres-

sure rollers [5A] by moving them laterally.

The pressure rollers must apply an even pres-

sure to the material.

[4] Pressing the opener to insert the material.

[5] Repositioning the pressure rollers (A)

5. Peel off about 50cm of labels from the backing

paper [6].

6. Open the pressure lever [7A]. To do this, push the

lever downwards.

7. Guide the backing paper under the print module to-

wards the rear and insert as shown [7].

8. 5“/6“-modules: Loosen the two thumb screws [8B]

at the spring-suspended blocks. Position the

spring-suspended blocks [8A] in a way that the con-

tact rolls press symmetrically on the backing paper.

Retighten the thumb screws.

4“-module: Loosen the thumb screw [8B]. Position

the spring-suspended block [8A] in a way that the

contact roll presses in the middle on the backing

paper. Retighten the thumb screw.

9. Pull the backing paper taut from the back and close

the pressure lever [9].

[6] Peeling off labels from the backing paper.

[7] Inserting the backing paper.

[8] Repositioning the pressure rollers (A).

[9] Close the lever.

1. Open the hood.

2. Adjust the material guide to fit the width of the label

material. To do this, release the thumb screw [10A]

on the outer side of the material guide, slide the ma-

terial guide [10B] to the material edge and retighten

the thumb screw.

The material should insert easily through the

guides.

3. Push the label material through the guides up to the

contact pressure rollers.

4. Press the online and feed buttons simultaneously

to pull the material in. Hold the buttons pressed, un-

til the material end is positioned under the print-

head.

Alternative to steps 3-4:

1. Release the pressure roll. To do so, turn the green

[11C] lever anti-clockwise.

2. Push the material end through the material guiding,

until it is under the printhead.

3. Close the green lever [11].

[10] Adapt the material guiding (B) to the material width.

[11] Close the green lever (arrow).

DPM ‒PEM

Inserting the ribbon

Skip this section if you intend to print directly onto

thermal material.

The pictures in this section show a DPM, but are

also valid for a PEM.

For information on choosing a suitable thermal transfer

ribbon, refer to chapter Selecting the printing material 

on page 4.

Removing spent ribbon

Assuming spent ribbon has gathered on the rewinding

mandrel:

1. Remove the roll of used ribbon from the rewinding

mandrel.

2. Pull the empty ribbon core off the unwinding man-

drel and put it on the rewinding mandrel.

3. Put the ribbon roll on the unwinding mandrel.

4. Insert the ribbon as described in the following.

WARNING!

Rotating parts can trap items and draw

them in!

When working on the printer, do not

wear loose jewellery, long sleeves, long

hair, and similar.

Close the printer cover before

printing.

During operation, the printhead can be-

come hot.

Be careful when touching the prin-

thead!

CAUTION! - If the diameter of the ribbon

wound on the take-up roll becomes too

great, the machine’s operation will be impai-

red.

Always remove a used ribbon before in-

serting a new ribbon roll.
