LABEL REWINDER

The rewinder is an external unit that allows for labels and tags to be rewound in rolls up to 8.5 inches in diameter. It derives its power directly from the printerÌs EXT connector using a built-in cable. The rewinder provides the ability to rewind tags/labels from the printer and subsequently be unwound for later use with applicators.

INSTALLATION

1.Position the Rewinder at the front of the printer and align it with the label slot. (The Rewind Wheel/Spindle should be positioned away from the printer.)

2.Connect the built-in cable from the Rewinder to the EXT connector at the rear of the printer.

3.On the Rewinder, remove the metal clamp from the Rewind Spindle.

4.Feed the lead end of the label stock under the first spindle and onto the Rewind Spindle. Feed the stock around the spindle once, then replace the metal clamp over the label stock. Wind another revolution to ensure the labels are secure on the spindle.

5.Select the REWIND option on the rewinder, then set the power switch to ON. (The printer must be powered ON for the rewinder to function.)

REMOVING AND UNWINDING THE ROLL

As labels are printed, tension from the rewinder should keep the label stock taut as it wraps itself on the spindle.

To remove the roll from the spindle, first set the power switch to OFF. Remove the metal clamp, then remove the rewound roll of labels.

To unwind for using with an applicator, first set the power switch OFF. Attach the lead edge of the labels from the rewind spindle to the applicator entry point. Select the WIND option on the rewinder, and when ready to begin, set the power switch to ON.
