The Apollo is delivered with the tear-off plate (5) installed.
Before mounting the cutter, the tear-off plate has to be removed :
1. Switch the printer OFF.
2. Feed the label stock into the Apollo in such a way that the leading edge of
the first label is protruding slightly beyond the printhead (1).
3. Turn the printhead lever (2) counter-clockwise until it stops.
4. Remove the tear-off plate (5) from the guide holes (3).
5. Slide the cutter (4) into the guide holes (3) .
6. Turn the lever (2) clockwise until it stops.
7. Connect the cutter cable (6) to the 15 pin peripheral port on the front of the
Apollo.
8. Switch the printer ON. The cutter will perform a synchronized cutting cycle.
9. Press the key. The printer will feed one unprinted label forwards
which will be cut off by the cutter. The label stock feed is now synchro-
nized for the start of the printing process.

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.

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.
