Characteristics of the Thermal Printhead
Dear Customer,
The thermal printhead is the most sensitive part of your printer.
Pay special attention to the following guidelines :
1) The glass cover on the printhead must not be touched with the hand. Do
not use any sharp items, such as knives or screwdrivers, to clean the
printhead.
2) During printing, always take care that there is no dirt or foreign objects
on the labels in order to avoid impurification of the printhead. This way,
the printhead might be damaged.
3) Use proper label material with a smooth surface only.
A rough surface will affect the printhead and may cause damage and
reduce its operating life.
4) Clean the printhead regularly with a special printhead cleaning pen, or
an isopropyl alcohol soaked cotton swab.
5) Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
Careful use will allow you to print approximately between 18 to 30 miles
(30 to 50 km) of print media before the printhead needs replacing.
Improper usage can cause damage to the printhead.
Please note :
No manufacturer provides a warranty on the printhead, since improper
usage can hardly be proved after failure, but will affect the operating life
and durability of the printhead.

1 Product Description
General Information
The Apollo 1/2/3 is an innovative printer which may be used in either direct thermal
or thermal transfer mode. It offers a high resolution with a virtually unlimited variety
of printout design.
With the Speedo and TrueType fonts, Apollo provides a wide range of
different typefaces. The use of scaleable fonts and their flexibility in width and
height allows exceptional flexibility in label design to suit any requirements.
Additional printing features include reverse, italic, bold, underlined, and rotated
characters.
The operation and usage of the Apollo is simple and comfortable. All printer
settings can be carried out with only four function keys on the front panel of the
printer. The double lined LCD display keeps the operator constantly informed
about the current status of the printer. The setup menu allows easy configuration
changes whenever desired.
The wide variety of options makes the Apollo adaptable to almost any require-
ments. Additional accessories are, for instance, external rewinders for large print
jobs, a label cutter, or an easy-to-install tamp applicator for automatically applying
labels.
The modular design of the Apollo guarantees efficient service.
