4. Swing the media retainer (4) downwards to the media hub (3) and push it

inwards until it rests against the side of the label roll.

Tighten the knurled screw (5).

5. Slide the media guide (8) into its outermost position.

6. Unroll a length of label stock from the media roll and feed it through as

shown in Figure 6 a/b.

It is particularly important to ensure that the media strip slides properly

between the fittings of the adjustable photocell assembly (9).

7. Slide the media strip right through the space between the print roller and

the printhead until it comes out of the Apollo.

8. Slide the media guide (8) back towards the edge of the media strip.

9. Turn the lever (1) counter-clockwise until it stops and, thereby, lock the

printhead.

If you do not use the printer for an extended period of time, lift the

printhead to avoid possible flattening of the print roller.

7 Adjustments Concerning the Labels

Adjustment of the Label Edge Sensor

2 1

Fig. 7 a Adjustment of the label edge sensor

To accommodate a variety of print jobs, the position of the label edge sensor

(1) can be adjusted at right angles to the path of the paper feed. This setting is

particularly useful if the required labels are either narrow, or have punch holes or

reflective markings, or deviate from the square or rectangular shape.

It is important to ensure that the sensor is positioned in a way that the gaps

between the labels or the markings can be recognized by the photocell. (the

position of the sensor is marked by a notch in the sensor holder)

If using labels with an unconventional shape (i.e. round or curved), the sensor

should be positioned at the front edge of the label.

Adjust the sensor position using the knurled knob (2).

By turning the knob clockwise the sensor moves outwards, and by turning the

knob counter-clockwise the sensor moves inwards.
