In todays manufacturing, the use of barcode printers is becoming more and more extensive.The use of barcode printers is very simple. Generally, it includes boxing inspection, installation of consumables, online power -powered, pre -print calibration, software, driver installation, typesetting printing.In the daily use process, pay attention to the maintenance of barcode printers, mainly including the printed head and printed rubber roller maintenance. Lets take a look with the editor.
What is barcode printer
Barcode printer is a dedicated printer.The biggest difference between barcode printer and ordinary printer is that the printing of barcode printers is based on thermal and carbon belts as the printing medium (or directly use thermal paper) to complete the print.It is that it can achieve continuous and high -speed printing without no one.
How to use barcode printer
1. Delivery inspection
Needless to say, you can just check the packing list, simply start.However, if you find that the real object is inconsistent with the list items, remember to contact the sellers verification to confirm to avoid affecting normal use.
2. Install consumables
There are two ways to work in general barcode printers: heat transfer and thermal sensitivity.In the heat transfer mode, the corresponding carbon belt and label, label paper and carbon belt need to be installed; if the printed label is thermist paper, there is no need to install the carbon belt. The paper itself will be black after heating.Usually the newly purchased printer randomly attach the "Installation Guideline" instructions, and install the consumables (tag paper and carbon belt) in the steps above. Pay attention to whether the carbon belt installation path is consistent with the indicator, whether the detector is aimed at the corresponding consumables, the detector is aimed at the corresponding consumables.In order to successfully calibrate in the future.
3. Online power
First insert the data cable, make sure that it has been connected with the computer, and then turn on the printer switch. Remember not to make mistakes in the order. First connect the data cable, and then connect the power.Because in addition to USB, data interfaces such as meading and serial ports do not support hot insertion, so it is best to insert them in advance.
4. Pre -print calibration
After installing the consumables and power power, the label and carbon belt need to be calibrated. When the calibration is successful, it can be guaranteed to be accurate.
5. Software, driver installation
The software here refers to the professional label editing software specifically used to make and print the tag template. If you have the corresponding software system to generate and print barcode tags, you do not need to install separately.
Drives are components that must be installed most of the time to convert the software interface and settings into the instruction language of printer recognition. Only when the user knows directly using the instruction to control the printer, the driver does not have to be installed.Note: After the driver is installed, there will be no icons on the desktop. You need to view it in the corresponding device list of "Control Panel". Generally, the printing icon on the desktop is a tag editing software.Drives and software can be found on the random disc, or download it at the manufacturers official website.
6. Capture printing
According to the label printing requirements, typesetting in the editing software is usually divided into several steps:
A. The height and width of the label with a ruler are important. This step is very important. The settings in the software should be done according to the actual size of the label.
B. Set the page, label size, and the values ??that are just measured are set in the corresponding place.
C. Add content according to needs.
D. Preview, watch the preview window and actual requirements consistent.Some software does not support previews, and you need to print the effect directly.
How to change the paper machine
1. Open the machine lid and loosen the cards with fixed barcode paper next to the machine to the maximum.
2. Put the barcode paper on the barcode paper bracket. Pay attention to the direction of the barcode paper. You should out the paper. Do not put it back.
4. Wring the cards with a fixed barcode paper to the right position. Dont be too tight. Too tight barcode paper will be lifted to the middle, and it should not be too loose. When it is printed, it will be crooked.
5. Replace the barcode paper to complete, start the paper, print and try, and see the change effect. If the printing is not accurate, take a few more ones.
