Refer to Figure 2-9 and follow these steps to install a roll of labels:
1. Raise the application plate, and release rollers
B
and
F
by sliding
them in the direction shown by the arrows in Figure 2-9. This
prepares the path of the labels to be threaded through the labeler.
2. Remove the label reel cover (see Figure 2-9).
3. If labels are already installed, unthread the liner, and remove the
label roll by putting your thumbs into the cut-outs in the supply reel
and rocking the roll back and forth as you pull it off.
4. Install the labels on the supply reel so that the label liner passes to the
left of optic
A
(see Figure 2-9).
Note: Do not tighten the label roll on its core. The roll is intentionally wrapped
loosely so that high temperature and humidity do not cause the labels to
peel incorrectly.
5. Replace the label reel cover over the label reel.
6. Unroll approximately two feet of liner, and thread it around the left
of roller
B
, between
C
and
D
, and then between the platen and press
bearings.
7. Move roller
B
to the left so it pinches the label liner and holds it in
position. Ensure that the labels are fully aligned between the
underside of the platen and above
C
and
D
.

8. Thread the label liner across the platen and lower the application
plate to hold it in position.
9. Route the liner to the left side of roller
E
and to the right of roller
F
.
Allow the remaining liner to drape to the left of knob
G
.
10. Move roller
F
to the right until it snaps into position.
Note: To ensure correct label printing and application, make sure both pinch
rollers (
B
and
F
) are fully engaged.
Calibrating Labels
At certain times, you must calibrate the labels so that the 2500 can
correctly print and apply them to devices. During the label calibration
process, the ADC (label detection) optic reads and assigns a value to the
amount of light passing through the label when it is blocking the optic.
You can view and adjust this ADC optic value from the 2500’s optics
diagnostics menu (refer to page 5-34).
You must calibrate labels whenever you:
• Change the labels
• Change the ribbon
• Advance the labels by running the label drive motor test, turning the
label advance knob, or pulling the labels forward by hand
• Adjust the ADC optic value
To calibrate labels, do the following:
1. Place your finger next to the press bearings to “catch” the two or
three labels that are advanced during the calibration process.
2. Press
CAL
on the 2500’s keyboard.
3. When the labels stop advancing, calibration is complete.

Installing the Dot Matrix
Printer Ribbon Cassette
Install the labeler ribbon cassette in the dot matrix printer by following
this procedure (see Figure 2-10):
1. Rotate the knob on the new cassette in the direction indicated by the
arrow (counter-clockwise) to pull the ribbon taut.
2. Guide the new cassette so the ribbon fits between the print head and
the platen.
3. With the ribbon now partially in place over the print head, slowly
turn the cassette knob while applying gentle pressure on the cassette
until it drops into place on the ribbon spline drive. The spline drive is
located on the labeler directly behind the ribbon advance knob.
Note: You will have to turn the ribbon advance knob slightly until the slot on
the back of the cassette aligns with the spline drive.
4. Ensure that the ribbon is in place by lightly pulling on it. It should not
come off the clips.
5. Calibrate the labels (see page 2-10).
