Hello, my name is Vasko Gareski from Gamma Solutions,
and today I will be instructing the user on how to change labels on an Intermec PM4i label printer.
Now, the process to change or fit a roll of labels is as follows,
initially you obviously have the printhead locked down, with the leaver, unlock it as such.
A roll of labels is then fitted onto the label supply hub,
making sure that this green mechanism lever is fitted in place to stop the label roll moving forward and out like this.
It is then routed underneath the tension bar, through in between the paper guides as such,
and then in between the printhead and the tear bar and platen roller.
Ensure that there is enough label to lock the printhead down.
And that's it, you have fitted a fresh roll of labels to the printer.
Should the labels require ribbon for durable printing, the procedure is as follows.
The label can be left in place as it is, the printhead will then need to be unlocked and lifted as such.
We now have a roll of ribbon.
The process begins by loading the supply of ribbons to the right hand spool spindle
and making sure that the ribbon is threaded in between the paper guides and this tensioning bar here.
It gets guided in gently like this making sure that the ribbon is not torn,
and ensuring that there are no kinks or other imperfections in the ribbon as it goes through.
The take-up reel is taken up as such, fitted to the take-up wheel,
and any slack is then absorbed by turning the take-up reel like this.
Once the tension is sufficient, the printhead can be locked down
and the printer is ready to be used to print labels.
