A3-2 / A3 / A4 / A6 A General Guide to the Documentation A General Guide to the Documentation This manual contains the description and usage instructions for the A3-2, A3, A4 and A6 printers. For detailed technical information on programming of the A3-2, A3, A4 and A6, a separate Programming Guide is available on request. For specific information on maintenance and repair of the printers, separate Service/ Maintenance Manuals are available. The first few chapters cover general information which is necessary for unpacking and setup of the printer, including ribbon and media loading. Chapter 5 covers the connection and usage of optional equipment that may be attached to the printer. In the appendices, additional information such as cabling specifications, error messages and problem resolution, and maintenance/cleaning instructions are included. Please take special note of the specifications for suggested print media and the references to cleaning the printer, to prevent damage, poor quality printing and avoidable failures of your printer. Every effort has been made in the creation of this manual to provide as much information as possible in a form that is both understandable and useful. We welcome your comments and suggestions regarding additions or corrections to improve future editions of this manual. NOTICE ! The figures in this manual normally show the Transfer Printer A4 !

1. Product Description A3-2 / A3 / A4 / A6 1. Product Description General Information A3-2, A3, A4 and A6 are innovative printers which may be used in either direct thermal or thermal transfer mode. They offer a high resolution with virtually an unlimited variety of printout designs. The center mounting plate is made of die-cast aluminum which makes it very robust and resistant to bending. By using 32 bit-processors from Motorola and the internal memory of 8 MB (A3-2, A3) or 16 MB (A4, A6), very long large labels (up to a length of 39 in / 1000 mm) can be printed quickly. As standard equipment, the printers have a bi-directional parallel and a serial RS-232-interface. An optional RS-422/485-interface, USB-interface or ethernet-interface can be installed. The printers auto-sense which interface is actually used. Furthermore the printers have a keyboard interface to connect a standard keyboard as well as a bar code scanner. By using a memory card it is possible to print and to enter variable data without any connection to a computer. The ranging power supply (100-240VAC) allows the printers to be used around the world without re-configuration. The operation and usage of the printers is simple and comfortable. All printer settings can be carried out with the Navigator Pad. To ease the operation the active key is marked in the several operating modes. The graphic LCD display keeps the operator constantly informed about the current status of the printer. The modular design of the printers guarantees efficient service. A special feature of the A3-2 and A3 printers is the possibility to change between the 203 dpi-printhead and the 300 dpi-printhead easily, with a minimum amount of time and effort. For the printers a wide range of optional accessories like external un- and rewinders, label/tag cutters, different peel-off modules and a tamp applicator is available. 8 cab Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG
