THANK YOU…

…for purchasing the Cyclone C1000/C-1000P Bar Code Label Printer. Cyclone is a high-performance, low-cost direct thermal/thermal transfer label printer designed for use in most industrial, retail and office applications. Its user-friendly design and affordable price set a new standard of excellence for industrial-strength bar code label printers.

The printer incorporates a highly efficient memory management technology called TrueSpeed. This feature allows constant print speeds of 1” to 4” per second. The printer is bundled with flexible printer driver software and a highly capable label design program called PrimaBar™ for Windows®. Together, they allow you to quickly and easily print out bar codes, text and graphics using a standard PC running Windows 95/98/Me/2000 and NT. A wide variety of the most popular bar codes and 9 different fonts are also resident in the printer’s internal memory for “legacy” applications in which a particular programming language is required.

The solidly designed mechanism delivers long life and allows quick and easy media and ribbon loading. Two Cyclone models are available:

•C-1000 – feeds labels out the front. An integrated tear-off bar is included.

•C-1000P – includes an internal rewind and peel-off mechanism.

The internal rewind and peel-off mechanism of the C-1000P allows dispensing of labels either out the front or one label at a time already peeled. Backing paper is re-wound inside the printer. This model can also rewind up to 1/3 of a roll of printed labels inside the printer with the backing paper still attached.

This User’s Manual will help you understand basic operations of the printer such as set-up, installation, configuration and maintenance.
