Installation

and

Setup

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.

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.
