Calibrating the Printer This chapter of the user’s guide is so important that we’ve printed it on a different color paper! That way, it will be easy for you to find when you must calibrate (set up) the printer for your particular application. Purpose n To calibrate the printer.
Types of Media Non-Continuous Web Media Non-continuous web media (refer to Figure 2) refers to individual labels that are separated by a gap, notch, or hole.
Non-Continuous Black Mark Media Non-continuous black mark media has black marks printed on the back that indicate the start and end of each label (refer to Figure 3). Continuous Media Continuous media (refer to Figure 4) is one uninterrupted roll of material that allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label.
Choosing the Print Mode n Tear-off mode allows you to tear off each label, or a strip of labels, after it is printed. n In Peel-off mode, backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After this label is removed from the printer, the next one is printed.
Loading the Media Figure 5 illustrates one method of media loading. For more detailed instructions, as well as information about how to load the different types of media and the various printing modes, refer to the instructions that begin on page 27.
Positioning the Media Sensors The correct positioning of the media sensors is important. It can make the difference between a perfect label and a call to Technical Support! Transmissive Sensor The web or gap sensor, better known as the “transmissive sensor,” detects the gap between labels.
Adjusting the Upper Media Sensor Refer to Figure 6. (For clarity, not all printer parts are shown.) 1. Remove the ribbon (if it is installed). 2. Locate the upper media sensor. The upper media sensor “eye” is directly below the adjustment screw head.
Adjusting the Lower Media Sensor Position the lower media sensor (refer to Figure 7) by sliding it in its slot until it is positioned under the upper media sensor. Black Mark Sensor The black mark sensor is in a fixed position and enabled via the front panel (details in “Configuring the Printer” on page 15).
Loading the Ribbon To load ribbon, refer to Figure 8 (for the 300X- PLUS , 600X- PLUS , and 203X- PLUS ) and Figure 9 (for the 360X- PLUS ). For more detailed information, refer to the instructions that begin on page 39.
Operator Controls POWER Switch The POWER switch is located at the back of the printer above the power cord and fuse. Turn on the printer. Front Panel The step-by-step instructions in this section tell you which keys to press and what appears on the liquid crystal display (LCD) during the calibration procedure.
Configuring the Printer The configuration procedure in the next table contains the information you need to get your printer up and running, but it is not comprehensive . Refer to page 43 for more information. n Enter the configuration mode by pressing the SETUP/EXIT key at the “PRINTER READY” display.
Configuring the Software or Printer Driver Many printer settings may also be controlled by your printer’s driver or label preparation software. Refer to the driver or software documentation for more information. 16 Brady X- PLUS Series User’s Guide Press Display Shows Action/Explanation - PRINTER READY Normal printer operation.
Media and Ribbon Calibration NOTE: All steps must be performed in the following procedure, even if only one sensor needs to be adjusted. 1. Press the SETUP/EXIT key. 2. Press the NEXT/SAVE key until “MEDIA AND RIBBON CALIBRATE” displays. 3. To start the calibration procedure, press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key.
5. Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key. The front panel display will show “REMOVE RIBBON CANCEL CONTINUE.” 6. Either remove the ribbon or slide it as far from the printer frame as possible. 7. Close the printhead, trapping the ribbon in this position. 8.
Printing a Test Label To print a test label: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Press and hold the CANCEL key while turning on the printer. A configuration label, which shows the printer’s currently stored parameters, will print (similar to the one shown in Figure 12).

Establishing Communication System Considerations Interfaces The method of interfacing this printer to a data source depends on the communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial data port and a bi-directional parallel port.
When communicating via the parallel port (refer to Figure 14), the previously mentioned parameters are not considered. Refer to page 53 to configure the communication parameters for the printer. The values selected must be the same as those used by the host equipment connected to the printer.
Printer Basics Operator Controls This section discusses the functions of the various controls and indicators on the printer. The operator should become familiar with each of these functions. POWER Switch This switch is located at the back of the printer above the power cord and fuse.
Front Panel Display The front panel display communicates operational status and programming modes and parameters. 24 Brady X- PLUS Series User’s Guide Figure 15.
Front Panel Keys Key Function Starts and stops the printing process. • If the printer is not printing: no printing can occur. • If the printer is printing: printing stops once the current label is complete. Press to remove error messages from the display.
Front Panel Lights NOTE: If two operating conditions occur simultaneously (for example, one that causes a light to be on constantly and one that causes the same light to flash), the light will flash. Light Status Indication POWER Off The printer is off or power is not applied.
Roll Media Loading NOTE: A calibration must be performed when media and ribbon (if used) are first installed in the printer, or when a different type of media or ribbon is being used. Tear-Off Mode Refer to Figure 16. 1. Open the printhead. 2. Slide the media guide and media supply guide as far from the printer frame as possible.
Peel-Off Mode NOTE: Rewind option required. Refer to Figure 17. 1. Remove the rewind plate from the front of the printer (if installed). Store it on the two mounting screws on the inside of the front panel. 2. Open the printhead. 3. Slide the media guide and media supply guide as far from the printer frame as possible.

Removing the Label Backing Material Since the rewind spindle holds the backing from a standard-size media roll, we recommend that you perform this procedure whenever you change the media. To remove the backing material from the rewind spindle, follow these steps (you don’t need to turn off the printer for this procedure).
Ribbon Loading To load ribbon, refer to Figure 23 (for the 300X- PLUS , 600X- PLUS , and 203X- PLUS ) and Figure 24 (for the 360X- PLUS ) and follow the procedure below. NOTE: Use ribbon that is at least as wide as the media. The smooth backing of the ribbon protects the printhead from wear and premature failure due to excessive abrasion.
7. Before wrapping the ribbon around the ribbon take-up spindle, ensure that the arrow on the knob aligns with the indented notch (see Figure 25 inset). NOTE: Do not tape the ribbon to the ribbon take-up spindle! 8. Place the ribbon (with leader, if used) around the ribbon take-up spindle and wind counterclockwise for several turns.
Ribbon Removal 1. Break the ribbon as close to the ribbon take-up spindle as possible. 2. Refer to Figure 25. While holding the ribbon take-up spindle, turn the knob (1) clockwise until it stops. This will cause the ribbon release bars to pivot down (2), easing the spindle’s “grip” on the wound ribbon.
