GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Print Technology

The VIPER™ LS6 prints labels using thermal transfer printing technology. The print head melts ink contained on a thin web of ribbon material allowing the ink to transfer to the label material. The print head operates at a resolution of 203 dots per inch (dpi).

Smart Label Roll – See page 15

The VIPER™ LS6 label supplies are wound on a label cartridge that is plugged into a socket in the printer. The label cartridge is read by the printer operating system. The operating system AUTOMATICALLY selects the appropriate printer settings. Also, the operating system will keep track of the number of labels used from each roll and report the remaining labels to the user unless labels are manually removed.

Ribbon Cartridge – See page 13

The ribbon material, which contains the thermal transfer ink, is housed in a plastic housing to keep it clean, and to allow for easy installation and replacement. Ribbons are available in wax, hybrid, and resin materials.

Battery Pack – See page 9

A 12 volt battery powers the VIPER™ LS6. The battery is a rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) type which offers longer life than an equivalently sized Ni-Cad (Nickel-Cadmium) battery. Also, NiMH batteries are more environmentally friendly than Ni-Cad batteries, resulting in less stringent recycling requirements.

AC Adapter / Battery Charger – See page 9

An AC Adapter is included for powering the VIPER™ LS6. The AC adapter is compatible with international power systems (100 – 240 VAC). The VIPER™ LS6 includes an internal overnight battery charging circuit. The AC Adapter is used to power the charging circuit. This circuit is intended to charge a completely discharged battery pack in less than 15 hours.

Label Cutter

A manually operated label cutter is included. The VIPER™ LS6 will automatically place the printed label in the proper position for cutting.

Carrying Case

A custom carrying case to protect and transport the printer and accessories is included.

PC-KIT – See page 47

An upgrade kit consisting of a serial cable for connection to a personal computer (PC) and a CD of ViperLink™ software. The PC-KIT is used to communicate between a PC and the VIPER™ LS6 printer.
