1. Setting Up 1. Push the 415 Rewind power switch OFF. 2. Place the rewind on a level surface. Be sure it is at least ten inches away from the supply exit of the printer (Figure 1). 3. Squarely align the rewind’s hub flange with the edge of the supply. See Appendix A, "Rewind Alignment.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 4. Plug the power cord into the rewind (Figure 2). Then, plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Connecting Supplies Rewinding on the Hub 1. Slide the supply guide away from the hub flange and pull it away from the hub. 2. Print or feed enough supplies from the printer to wrap around the hub one and one half times. 3. Hold the hub flange and twist the hub clockwise until it stops. 4. Thread the supply strip under the dancer roller. 5. Fold and insert the end of the supply strip into the slot (Figure 3). Be sure the supply is against the hub flange.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 6. Turn the hub and hub flange at least one full turn counterclockwise to tighten the supply strip. 7. Push the supply guide against the hub then slide it against the supply. NOTE: Units with 3" hubs have a flanged disk instead of a supply guide. Slide this disk over the hub and against the stock/core (Figure 4).
2. Connecting Supplies Rewinding on a Paper Core 1. Slide the supply guide away from the hub flange and pull it away from the hub. 2. Push the paper core on the hub until it is against the hub flange. 3. Hold the hub flange and twist the hub clockwise until the paper core is tight. 4. Tape the supply strip to the paper core (Figure 5). Be sure the supply is against the hub flange.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 5. Turn the hub and hub flange at least one full turn counterclockwise to tighten the supply strip. 6. Push the supply guide against the hub then slide it against the supply.

When the dancer roller is almost horizontal, the rewind will stop. 3. Start the printer. 4. Adjust the rewind speed to the speed of the printer. NOTE: If you stop the printer, the rewind will stop. If the printer runs out of supplies, the rewind will keep running until you turn it off.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook Stopping 1. Stop the printer. 2. Push the rewind power switch OFF. 3. Pull the supply guide away from the hub. 4. Cut the supply at the supply exit of the printer (Figure 8). 5. Tape the end of the supply to the roll on the rewind. 6. Pull the supply guide away from hub. 7. Hold the hub flange and turn the hub counterclockwise until the roll is loose. 8. Slide the roll off the hub.
4. Changing Hubs If you change to a different supply, you may need to use a different hub. One, three, and four inch diameter hubs (short and long) are available from Monarch. To change hubs 1. Pull the supply guide away from the hub (Figure 9). Supply Guide Figure 9 2. Unscrew the hub knob (Figure 10). NOTE: The hub diameter must be the same as the inside diameter of the supplies.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 3. Remove the hub sections and replace them with the new ones (Figure 11). a. Slide the new hub spindle on the shaft. Be sure the notch fits over the raised portion of the hub flange. b. Slide the hub sections on to the shaft with the open ends facing out. The hub section that fits against the hub spindle has two curved grooves instead of peg holes. Be sure the slot in this section is aligned with the smaller side of the hub spindle.
5. Burster Option Setup and Operation Proper positioning of the printer, burster, and supplies is critical. 1. Place the Rewind/Burster assembly in the proper position in front of the printer. A drawing showing the correct position for all supported printers and optional location guides for alignment is inside the back cover. 2. Print or feed approximately 36 inches of labels from the printer. 3. Bend and separate the supply along the perforations into individual strips for about 18 inches (Figure 12).
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 4. Figure 13 shows the burster with the supplies installed. Place the separator bars in their approximate working positions (i.e. in line with the perforations). When only one bar is needed (for two part supply), slide unused bar to the outboard side. Separator Bars Figure 13 5. Thread the inner strip of supplies under the dancer arm roller, behind the two lower burster shafts, and in front of the top shaft. 6.
5. Burster Option Setup and Operation 8. Slide the first core onto the 415 hub until it is against the hub flange. 9. Hold the hub flange and twist the hub clockwise until the paper core is tight. 10. Position the slot in the hub to the top. 11. Align the leading edge of the first label on the inside strip with the slot in the hub and tape the supply to the core (Figure 14).
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 12. Slide the separator disk and the next core onto the hub (Figure 15). 13. Hold the core against the separator disk, insert the core lock (metal strip) into the slot, and slide it into the core. 14. Align the leading edge of the first label on the middle strip with the slot in the hub and tape the supply to the core.
5. Burster Option Setup and Operation 15. Hold the second separator disk with the inside notch up (in line with the core lock) and slide it onto the hub (Figure 16). 16. Place the third core over the core lock and slide it onto the hub.
Monarch 415 Rewind Operator’s Handbook 17. Slide the third core against the second separator disk (Figure 17). 18. Align the leading edge of the first label on the outside strip with the slot in the hub and tape the supply to the core.
