Doc. No: 411-121018 Printhead setup instructions for the Issue: 1 Date: Oct 2012 TE3124, TE3112 & T6112DS 1. Introduction The aim of this document is to provide instruction for setting up the Printhead of the TE Connectivity (TE) thermal transfer (TT) printers TE3124 (CC9352-000), TE3112 (CR2120- 000) and T6112DS (CP8122-000) to give an optimum print performance. The range of products printed on the TE thermal transfer printers TE3124, TE3112 and T6112DS vary in width and thickness. There is NO universal adjustment to cover every TE product. It may be necessary to adjust the toggles and printhead for each product printed. Note: Thermal transfer Printheads can be damaged by electrostatic discharge or over current. When ever electrically disconnecting the printhead, the power supply must be disconnected and allowed to dissipate for at least 1 minute. The printhead surface can be physically damaged and so must be treated with care. Tools must not be used on the printhead surface and only the recommended cleaners (TE Thermal Transfer TT Printer cleaning Kit CP5431-000) are to be used to clean printheads.

Toggle Position - place the pressure toggles (Figure 1) on the edges of the printable area. Pressure toggles Aligned to print area Figure 1 - Pressure toggles setup for print area of product to be printed. Incorrect alignment of pressure toggles can give poor print quality, see Figure 2. Position of pressure toggles should be optimised for the material printed and is dependant on width on material printed. The pressure toggles may be tightly clamped to the printhead locking bar so movement may be restricted. In this instance loosening the grub screws a quarter turn (see Figure 3) will aid movement. If grub screws loosened, re-tighten when pressure toggles positioned in correct location.
