Appendix F - Permasleeve Printing

First-time operators should refer to chapters 1 and 2 for more in-depth information on printer and sensor positions.

Instructions for One-Sided Permasleeve Printing

Sensor Location

Position the upper media sensor (Phillips head screw) directly over the 0.230 inch x 0.082 inch rectangular registration holes stamped in the Permasleeve carrier. The lower media sensor should remain at its factory-set position, 0.6 inches from the printer fire wall. The Locator may be used to position the upper media sensor more easily and accurately. Refer to, “ Transmissive Media Sensor Positioning Using the Locator” in chapter 7.

Note: Make sure the Upper Media Sensor is tightened in place to prevent it from being unintentionally moved as media travels beneath it.

Toggle Setup

Above the printhead is a toggle or cam. This toggle is adjustable in position and pressure. The pressure is controlled by the degree of spring compression found on the toggle. The optimum toggle position is located directly above the center of the sleeves. The optimum pressure can be obtained by adjusting the toggle thumb screws such that a spring height of 0.813 inches for the M-Series printer is obtained.

Printer Function Setup

The recommended burn temperature is 26.
