1. Checking Your Box
Receiving the box of your printer, you are advised to check
first for the possible shipping damage. There are two ways you can do it:
1. Inspect the outer appearances of both the box and the printer for
possible damage.
2. Raise the top cover of the printer to see if the media compartments
are in order.
If damages did occur, immediately file the claim to the shipping company
for settlement.
Having performed the primary inspections, next step,
please check whether you have received the following accessories
together with the printer. If there is any item missing, contact your local
dealer to get it.

7. Performing Calibration
1. Keep pressing the feed button while turning on the power, until the

feed label for certain length.
8. Hooking up the Printer and Computer
Note :
The power supply barrel connector must be inserted into the
power jack on the back of the printer before connecting the
communication cables.
This printer comes with both a nine-pin Electronics Industries
Association (EIA) RS-232 serial data interface, a standard Centronics
parallel interface and USB interface. In either case, you must supply the
required interface cable for your application.
Note :
This printer complies with FCC "Rules and Regulations" , Part 15,
for Class A Equipment, using fully shielded six-foot data cables.
Use of longer cables or unshielded cables may increase radiated
emissions above the Class A limits.

RS-232 Serial Port
Parallel Port
USB port
Serial (RS-232) Interface Requirements
The required cable must have a nine-pin "D" type male connector on
one end, which is plugged into the mating serial port located on the back
of the printer. The other end of this signal interface cable connects to a
serial port at the host computer.
The settings for the Serial port are :
Baud rate : 9600 – Stop Bit : 1 – Data Bit : 8 – Parity : None – Flow
Control : Xon / Xoff
21
Parallel Interface Requirements
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must have a
standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the
parallel port located on the back of the printer. The other end of the
parallel interface cable connects to the parallel connector on the host
computer.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
Keep data cables as short as possible (6ft. [1.83m] recommended).
Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Notes :
1. Using Centronics allows for a much higher speed
communication than the use of a serial.
2. It is not necessary to set the switch or send any command to
select the parallel or serial port . The printer can automatically
detect it.
3. A normal USB cable is used if USB port is selected.
9. MINIMARK Print Driver
The MINIMARK print driver is bundled with the Markware 3.4 (and
higher) CD-ROM (on a separate print driver CD-ROM from Markware
3.5 and higher). This driver can be installed under Windows
98SE/NT4/2000/XP.
22
Installing MarkWare MINIMARK Print Driver
1. Install MarkWare if not previously installed.
2. Insert the
MarkWare MINIMARK CD
into your CD-ROM drive. You

(US and Canada) www.bradyid.com
Note: If the installation CD does not AutoRun, go to Start \
Windows Explorer and then select the drive (for example, D:)
where the MW3.4 (and higher) CD is located.
3. The
Choose Setup Language
box displays. Select a language and
click
OK
.
4. The Choose Printer Port screen displays. Click the communication
port you want to be used from the list and click Next. The print driver will

D. Miscellaneous
The host shows "Printer Time out"
1. Check if the communication cable( parallel, serial or USB) is
connected securely to your parallel, serial or USB port on the PC
and to the connector on the printer at the other end.
2. Check if the printer power is turned on.
If the power cord is connected, the power switch is at position "I" and
the power LED has still not illuminated, check the fuse inside the
power adapter case.
The data has been sent, but there is no output from the printer. Check
the active printer driver, if MINIMARK printer has been selected.
Vertical streaks in the printout usually indicate a dirty or faulty print
head.
Clean the print head first, if they still persist, replace the print head.
Poor printout quality.
. The ribbon may not be qualified.
. The media may not be qualified.
. Adjust the Darkness ( heat temperature ).
. Slow down the print speed.
. Refer to the next chapter and clean the related spare parts.
Recovery
To continue your print jobs after the abnormal conditions have been
corrected, simply press the panel button or restart the printer. Make sure
26
that the LED is not blinking and remember to resend your files
.
11. Caring for Your Printer
Clean the following areas of the printer after 5-8 rolls of continuous tapes
or die-cut labels have been used. In each case, use a cotton bud
dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not soak the cotton bud
excessively.
Cleaning
Thermal Print Head
Thermal paper and ribbon will release debris on the print head and
degrade printing quality. Clean the print head with isopropyl
alcohol with a cotton bud. Do not touch the heater element with
your fingers. Debris or dirt on the roller should be cleaned with
alcohol.
Paper Sensor
Debris or dirt on the paper sensor will cause a miss-read or
unstable detection of the label gap. Clean with a cotton bud
dampened with alcohol.
Note :
Always switch off the power before cleaning.

1. Vérification du contenu
À la réception du colis de votre imprimante, il est
recommandé de contrôler tout d'abord les éventuelles détériorations
survenues pendant le transport. Vous pouvez le faire de deux
manières :
1. Examinez l'aspect extérieur du colis et de l'imprimante afin de
détecter la présence d'éventuelles détériorations.
2. Soulevez le capot supérieur de l'imprimante afin de vérifier que le
compartiment d'impression est en bon état.
En cas de détérioration, déposez immédiatement une réclamation
auprès de la société de transport.
Après avoir effectué les premiers contrôles, la deuxième étape
consiste à vérifier que vous avez bien reçu les accessoires ci-dessous avec
l'imprimante. S'il manque des accessoires, contactez votre distributeur local
pour vous les procurer.
