Optional Features
External Media Rewinders
For rewinding large print jobs, an external rewinder is available to handle an entire
label roll. Please note, that for an external rewinder, the maximum size of the
supply roll is limited to 8 in (200 mm) with a core diameter of 3 in (75 mm), or a
supply roll may be up to 7.5 in (190 mm) with a core diameter of 1.6 in (40 mm).
The external rewinder is mechanically linked to the Apollo by an adapter plate, but
works independently through its own power supply. Consequently, the rewinder
requires its own separate outlet for operation.
Cutter Assembly
With the optional cutter unit, labels or continuous media (up to 180 g/sqm) may be
cut immediately after printing. You can choose whenever you want to cut, whether
you cut off the individually, after a pre-selected quantity of labels have been printed,
or only at the end of a print job.
The cutter is powered and controlled directly by the peripheral connector of the
Apollo.
For cutter operation, the firmware of the Apollo will automatically backfeed the
label, so that after cutting, the label roll will be repositioned for the print of the next
label.
Rewind Guide Plate (for Apollo with internal rewinder only)
The rewind guide plate for rewinding the silicon liner, offers to rewind small print
jobs internally. The maximum rewind diameter greatly depends on the size of the
remaining media roll and is also limited by the location of the ribbon supply roll as
well as the ribbon take up.
Present sensor (for Apollo with internal rewinder only)
This option allows for on-demand labelling. The present sensor consists of the
tear-off plate and the sensor itself. The sensor, which is attached to the Apollo by
the peripheral connector, indicates the presence of a label, and pauses the printing
process until the label is removed.

PC Memory Card
Apollo includes an option for using memory cards in order to permanently store
graphics, fonts, databases or whole label formats.
The data can be downloaded via interface. Alternatively, the printer is able to read
cards which was written on using PC card drives of computers, lap-tops, etc.
PCMCIA 2.1 conforming sRAM cards or Flash-EPROM cards are accepted.
The maximum capacity for Apollo 1/2 is 4 MegaByte, for Apollo 3 16 MegaByte.
Using a memory card, the printer can be operated without being connected to a
computer which represents a great advantage regarding the flexibility.
Keyboard Adapter
The keyboard adapter allows you to connect your Apollo to a MF-2 compatible PC
keyboard using the serial interface. This will allow you to modify variable data
stored on a memory card.
Applicator
Apollo 1 is specially designed for the installation of an applicator. This offers a
low-cost opportunity for automatically applying printed labels onto products or
parts.
The power supply and control of the applicator is realized via the peripheral port of
the Apollo 1. In addition, only a compressed-air supply is required.
