Rewind Guide Plate

The optional rewind guide plate for printers with internal rewinder allows you to

rewind small print jobs inside the printer. The maximum rewind diameter depends

on the remaining size of the media supply roll.

It is limited by the possible contact of both, the rewind roll and supply roll.

Fig. 13 k Mounting the rewind guide plate

The Apollo is delivered with a mounted tear-off plate (4).

For internal rewinding, the tear-off plate has to be replaced with the rewind

guide plate (3) :

1. Turn the lever (1) counter-clockwise until it stops.

2. Remove the tear-off plate (4) from the mounting holes (2).

3. Slide the rewind guide plate (3) into the mounting holes (2).

4. Turn the lever (1) clockwise until it stops.

Inserting the Labels for Internal Rewind

1. Lift printhead by turning the lever (4) clockwise until it stops.

2. Loosen knurled screw (8), then swing the media retainer (7) upwards.

3. Place the media roll (5) onto the media hub (6). Swing the media retainer

(7) downwards to the media hub and inwards until it rests against the side

of the roll. (roll will slightly be slowed down when unwound)

Tighten knurled screw (8).

4. Slide the two media guides (11/12) outwards to their outermost position.

5. Unroll a length of stock from the media roll and feed along as shown in

Figure 13 l.

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

between the fittings of the adjustable photocell assembly (13).

6. Feed the media strip between the print roller and the thermal printhead,

and then over the rewind guide plate (3) to the internal rewinder (10).

7. The internal media rewind hub (10) is fitted with an expanding axle that

contains clamps for securing the media. When shipped, the locking lever

(9) is set at an angle of 90° to the axle which, therefore, is locked. Release

the axle by tipping the lever (9) into the direction of the axle. Slide the

media strip from underneath the rewinder clamps to the disc. Again,

tighten the axle. To tighten the media, rotate rewinder counter-clockwise.

8. Slide the media guides (11/12) towards the edge of the media strip.

9. Lock the printhead by turning the lever (4) counter-clockwise until it stops.

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

avoid possible flattening of the print roller.

Present Sensor

The optional present sensor in connection with printers with internal rewinder

allows for on-demand label dispensing. That means, the labels are removed

from the silicon liner immediately after printing, and then available in a dis-pense

position ready for further processing.

The present sensor (2) consists of two components, the dispense edge (18)

and the present sensor photocell (6). The presence of a label (19) in dispense

position is observed by the photocell. Through its connection to the peripheral

port of the Apollo, the signal pauses the print of the next label until the label in

the dispense position is removed.

Note : When editing or creating labels in demand mode, make sure that the

part of the label which lies directly underneath the photocell is only colored (black)

to a maximum of 50%. Higher blackening/ density print may cause malfunctions of

the sensor.

Fig. 13 m Mounting of the present sensor

The Apollo is generally shipped with the tear-off plate (1) mounted. When

operating in dispense mode, the tear-off plate has to be replaced with the

present sensor (2) :

1. Turn lever (4) counter-clockwise until it stops.

2. Remove the tear-off plate (1) from the mounting holes (3).

3. Slide the present sensor (2) into the mounting holes (3).

4. Turn lever (4) clockwise until it stops.

5. Connect the cable (5) of the present sensor (6) to the 15 pin peripheral port of

the Apollo.
