Installing the Power Cord
A power cord is shipped with each printer. The cord for 115-volt printers will use
the standard three-prong plug used in the U.S.A. A 230-volt printer and some other
115-volt configurations must have the receptacle end of the connector removed and
the proper plug installed. It is the customers’ responsibility to have the plug and
alteration work done by a certified electrician. AVERY DENNISON supplies
printers to many countries with many variations. Therefore we leave this to the
customer to make the proper selection for their country.
Installing the PC Interface Cable
The 676 requires a 9-pin RS232 cable. This cable is provided with the printer. If the
cable was not found it can be ordered from AVERY DENNISON (Part no. 351124).
The male end of the cable should be connected to the 9-pin D-shell female connector
that is located on the right side of the printer. The female end of the cable is made to
fit a 9-pin male RS232 connector on the back of the PC.
Installing the PC Software
The software to drive the AVERY DENNISON family of printers is covered in
separate documentation. The “Formatter” software to create formats for the AVERY
DENNISON 676 printer is a Windows application. The original software “Selfform”
will not create formats for the 676. The new "PCMate" package is capable of making
formats for all AVERY DENNISON control printers.
PCMate Plus Ver. 3.21.32 will support the 676LKP. Lower versions may not contain
the test drivers.
The printer is also capable of operating directly from a mainframe when using the
RS232 interface and AVERY DENNISON's PCL command language.
