Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Warnings Installation Ribbons and Printhead Wear CAUTION: To ensure that the XiIII-Series printer has proper cooling, do not place any padding or cushioning material under the unit or next to the back of the unit. CAUTION: For thermal transfer print mode, load ribbon before performing CALIBRATION. Do not load ribbon if the printer is to be used in the direct thermal mode.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen AC Power Considerations Power Line Cord Depending on how the XiIII-Series printer was ordered, a power line cord may or may not be included. If a power line cord is not supplied, you will need to obtain one with the following specifications. Refer to Figure 1. AC POWER PLUG FOR YOUR COUNTRY IEC 320 CONNECTOR 3 CONDUCTOR CABLE CONTACT VIEW NEUTRAL EARTH LIVE Figure 1 1. The overall length must be less than 3.8 meters (12.5 ft.). 2.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Fuse Replacement The XiIII-Series printer uses a metric-style fuse (5 x 20 mm IEC) rated at F5A, 250V. The AC Power Entry Module comes with two approved fuses in the Fuse Holder: one is “In-Circuit” and the second is provided as a “spare” (refer to Figure 4). The end caps of the fuse must bear the certification mark of a known international safety organization (refer to Figure 2). To replace a faulty fuse, use the following procedure.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Media and Ribbon Loading GB Figure 5 Media Loading Roll Media Loading in Tear-Off Mode (Figure 6-A) 1. Place the Media Roll (Figure 5-E) on the Media Hanger (Figure 5-F) or optional Supply Spindle. 2. Open the printhead by moving the lever located on the Upper Printhead Assembly to the open (Figure 5-A) position. 3. Loosen the Media Guide (Figure 5-M) Thumbscrew and position the Guide as far out from the printer frame as possible. 4.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Peel-Off Mode (Figure 6-B) Rewind Mode (Figure 6-C and 6-D) Note: For best results, install the printer on a level surface. This is especially helpful with wider printers using wide media. If the surface is not level, the media may “telescope” off of the Rewind Spindle, causing unsatisfactory results. Note: For best results, install the printer on a level surface. This is especially helpful with wider printers using wide media.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 8. After all of the above steps have been completed, close the Printhead Open Lever to lock the media in place. If not aligned correctly, the material may not rewind properly on the Rewind Spindle/core that may, in turn, affect media movement and/or printing. GB Figure 6 Figure 7 Cutter Mode (Figure 6-E) 1. Load media according to the directions above for Tear-Off Mode, except feed the media through the cutter module as shown in Figure 6-E. 2.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Figure 8 Ribbon Loading When loading ribbon, make sure that the ribbon core is pushed up against the stop on the Ribbon Supply Spindle (Figure 5-D). Do not use ribbon narrower than the media. 1. Align the segments of the Ribbon Supply Spindle (Figure 8). 2. Place the Ribbon Roll on the Ribbon Supply Spindle (Figure 8-D). 3. Make a leader for your ribbon. Tear off a strip of media (labels and backing) about 15-30 cm (6-12″) long.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Figure 9 Removing Used Ribbon Refer to Figure 9. 1. Break the ribbon close to the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle (A). 2. While holding the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle, turn the knob (B) clockwise until it stops. This will cause the Ribbon Release Bars to pivot down (C), easing the spindle’s “grip” on the wound ribbon. 3. Slide the ribbon off of the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle.

Press once to cancel printing of current label batch. To clear the entire buffer, press and hold until the Data light turns off. (Active only in Pause Mode.) Press once to recalibrate media and ribbon sensors for proper media length and to set media type (continuous or non-continuous).

Printing is paused until the label is removed. Normal operation—no printer errors. Printer error exists. Check the display screen for more information. Off Normal operation—ribbon is properly loaded. On No ribbon loaded (printer in Thermal Transfer Mode). Front panel displays error message.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Calibration After you have correctly installed the media and ribbon, turn the printer on. The printer will perform a power-on self test. When this is complete, the display screen will read “PRINTER READY”. Perform the Calibration procedure below. IMPORTANT: Perform the Calibration procedure when media and ribbon are first installed and whenever a different type of media or ribbon is installed.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Configuration After you have completed the Calibration, you may set printer parameters for your application using the front panel display and the five keys directly below it. • An asterisk (*) in the upper left-hand corner of the display indicates that you have changed this setting from what is currently stored in memory.
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Table 2 (Continued) SENSOR TYPE Press the oval keys to select web or mark sensing mode. If your media does not have black marks on the back, leave your printer at the default (web) setting. PRINT METHOD Press the oval keys to select the method of printing you want to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and ribbon).
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Adjustments Toggle Positioning Position the toggle(s) to provide even pressure on the media by sliding them to the desired location. If you are using narrow media and your printer has two toggles, you may position one toggle over the center of the media and slide the other toggle out of the way (decrease the pressure on the unused toggle).
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 3. Lift the Upper Media Sensor assembly and move the sensor and the wire cover to the outside half. Carefully pull the wires through the tie wrap. You may need to set aside the sensor wire cover if the adjustment is far to the outside. 4. Replace and tighten the Phillips head screw. 5. Make sure the wires are routed back into the groove of the media sensor bracket. A Figure 13 Lower Media Sensor Adjustment 1.
