Appendix F - Permasleeve Printing

M-Series User ’s Guide

Printing

Once the material is loaded and the printer is calibrated, a sample sleeve should then be printed to accurately center the printing on the sleeve. Once you have centered the image on the sleeve, the origin does not need to be readjusted again even when changing sides in two-sided printing. If initially the print is not centered on the sleeve, adjust your label format.

The Brady 200M printer is now ready for Permasleeve printing.

Instructions for Two-Sided Permasleeve Printing

1.Follow the instructions for One-Sided Permasleeve Printing to print side one.

Note: There should be a five inch leader preceding printed sleeves on side one. This will also serve as a trailer on side two ensuring that all sleeves on side two will be printed. If there is no trailer on side two, the printer will warn the operator that the media is out and will not allow the last five inches of sleeves to print.

2.Cut a five inch piece of empty carrier (leader) from the begin- ning of the roll and splice it to the front of side two (with cel- lophane tape) to serve as a leader. You should now have a five inch leader and trailer on the swatch of material.

3.Turn Permasleeve over to print side two. The first sleeve printed on side two should be the last sleeve printed from side one. Brady Labelmark software will automatically invert the order in which a batch is printed.

Example: If sleeve 1 represents the first sleeve ejected from the printer and 001 represents the incremental information printed on the sleeve sent in a batch format, the printing will occur as follows:
