Customer Responsibility  
Location of Printer  
The printer weighs approximately 57 Lbs (~26Kg) and requires a table of sufficient  
quality and strength to handle this load while the printer is operating. PAXAR  
recommends an industrial type work table having the approximate dimensions of 96"  
wide to 30" deep to 32" high. Refer to Figure 1a.  
Figure 1a Recommended workstation layout.  
The location of the PAXAR 656 / 636 printer should be based on human factors.  
The printer should be located in an area which maintains optimum flow of your  
product while providing for the operator’s comfort. PAXAR has taken significant  
steps to ensure that the operator controls and operations are easily accessible. This  
goal can only be met, however, if the printer is also located with human factors in  
mind. These include the height of the printer, the space around the printer, and the  
accessibility to the printer.  
The PAXAR 656 / 636 printer is a high resolution thermal printer. While PAXAR  
has designed the printer to be reasonably quiet, it is recommended to location the  
printer in an area where printing and cutting repetitious noise is acceptable.  
The unit should always be operated with the cover closed to minimize the amount of  
dust and dirt in the machine.  
Users Manual Model 656/636  
Customer Responsibility 3

AC Power Line  
PAXAR requires that the electric service be 10 Amps @ 110VAC or 10 Amps @  
220VAC. This will allow the computer and any additional support or service  
equipment to be plugged into the same service.  
Any electrical service which is supplying a PAXAR printer or peripheral equipment  
connected to a PAXAR printer should follow standard electrical code practices  
including proper grounding and neutral requirements.  
The PAXAR printer was designed to operate in an industrial setting for extended  
period of time; however, the printer is controlled by a microprocessor which is very  
sensitive to brownouts or power spikes. For this reason as well as the minimum  
recommended current supply, PAXAR recommends that a separate “clean” service  
be installed or reserved for the exclusive use of the PAXAR printer and it’s  
peripherals.  
Unpacking  
The PAXAR printer is shipped in a large cardboard box which may be difficult to  
move by hand.  
DO NOT REMOVE THE PRINTER FROM THE CRATE OR UNPACK IN  
THE SHIPPING / RECEIVING DEPARTMENT.  
NOTE: Unpacking in the shipping/receiving department is not recommended for  
the following reasons. First: The cardboard carton in which your PAXAR printer  
was shipped allows the printer to be moved with a forklift, forkcart or hand cart.  
Because of the weight of the printer, it is easier and safer to use one of these  
devices to move the printer to its intended installation location. Second: Leaving  
the printer in the carton while it is being moved within your facility will help to  
protect the printer during any movements to this new location. Once the printer has  
reached its intended location you should begin the unpacking process.  
Open the printer from the top of the box (See Figure 1b). Do not cut deep into the  
carton as there are items located just under the top. Remove the items located on the  
top insert. Remove the top insert. Lift the printer onto the table with the two  
banding straps. Remove the two straps and the plastic from the printer. Inspect the  
machine for shipping damage. If obvious damage is discovered, contact PAXAR for  
further instructions - in the U.S.A. at 570-888-9116. In other countries please  
contact your local PAXAR supplier. Once you are satisfied that there was no  
obvious shipping damage to the printer, the printer can now be lifted to its intended  
location.

Printer Setup  
Installing the Stacker  
Remove the stacker from the separate packaging. Remove the packaging from  
around the stacker and save with the rest of the printer packing supplies.  
Swing open the top cover to the printer. Locate the large knob and two round pins  
on the right hand side of the printer. Loosen the knob enough to allow the stacker to  
slide between the printer housing and the knob. The stacker will rest on the two  
pins. Slide the stacker to the back until it contacts the up-right frame. Tighten the  
knob. Adjusting the stacker is covered later.  
Install the stacker up-right rails. Remove one of the thumb screws. Insert the thumb  
screw through the mating hole in the up-right rail assembly. Thread the thumb  
screw into the mounting block. Repeat the above procedure for the other thumb  
screw.  
There is a harness and connector leading from the back of the stacker that plugs into  
the center connector on the last PC board. The connector and plug are polarized.  
Rotate the plug until the polarized plug and connector align and push them together.

Fuse Configuration  
The main fuse(s) on the Paxar 656 / 636 are located inside the AC power entry  
receptacle. The entry has a fuse drawer that holds the fuse(s) and selects the  
appropriate line voltage. If the number in the window DOES NOT match the AC  
line intended to be supplied to the printer, DO NOT plug the power cord in. Re  
configure as follows:  
1) Using a flat blade screw driver, open the AC entry by lifting the tab just above the  
voltage indicator window.  
2) Remove the red fuse drawer.  
3) Remove all fuses and the fuse jumper if it is present.  
4) Insert into the fuse drawer the correct number and style of fuses and fuse jumper  
for your application.  
Configuration Number One:  
Line voltage between the range of  
90 - 132VAC @ 50 - 60Hz  
1) Install one 921167 - 10.0A 250V Fast Acting 1/4 x 1 1/4"  
2) Install one Fuse Jumper  
See Figure FUSE1  
Configuration Number Two:  
Line voltage between the range of 180 -  
265VAC @ 50 - 60Hz  
1) Install two 921168 10.0A 250V Fast Acting 5 x 20MM  
NOTE: The fuse jumper must be removed to install both 5 x  
20mm fuses.  
The fuses must be between points A and B as shown not B and C.  
See Figure FUSE2  
4) Reinsert the fuse drawer into the AC entry with the desired voltage up.  
5) Close the AC entry and verify the correct voltage is now visible.

Installing the Power Cord  
A power cord is shipped with each printer. The cord for 110 volt printers, will use  
the standard three prong plug used in the U.S.A. A 220 volt printer and other 110  
volt configurations must have the receptacle end of the connector removed and the  
proper plug installed. It is the customers responsibility to have the plug and  
alteration work done by a certified electrician. Paxar supplies printers to many  
countries with many variations. Therefore we leave this to the customer to make the  
proper selection for their country.

Users Manual Model 656/636  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Installing the PC Interface Cable  
The 656 / 636 requires a 9-pin RS232 cable. This cable is provided with the printer.  
If the cable was not found it can be order from PAXAR (Part no. 351124).  
The male end of the cable should be connected to the 9-pin D-shell female connector  
that is located on the right side of the printer. The female end of the cable is made to  
fit a 9-pin male RS232 connector on the back of the PC.  
Installing the PC Software  
The software to drive the Paxar family of printers is covered in separate  
documentation. The "Formatter" software to create formats by the customer for the  
Paxar 656 / 636 printer is a Windows application. The original software "Selfform"  
will not create formats for the 656 / 636. The new "Formatter" package is capable of  
making formats for all Paxar control printers.  
The original DOS version of "PCMate" has been updated to drive the 656 / 636  
printer. PCMate DOS version 3.05 or later needs to be used.  
The printer is also capable of operating directly from a mainframe when using the  
RS232 interface and Paxar's PCL command language.

Printer Operation  
Installing Ink Ribbon  
NOTE: WHEN THIS MACHINE IS TURNED ON FOR THE FIRST TIME,  
A PAXAR FIELD ENGINEER MUST BE PRESENT.  
Figure 2  
(Threading path)  
The ink ribbon comes pre-packaged in a plastic bag. For best results, leave the ink  
ribbon wrapped in this bag until you are ready to use it in the printer. Use the  
procedure and diagram below for loading the ink.  
1) Unwrap the ink ribbon and put it on the ink-ribbon supply arbor (Figure 2) by  
pressing it on to the arbor when the three slots are lined up.  
2) Make sure the ink ribbon comes off the roll in the direction shown below and is  
threaded as illustrated (see Figure 2).  
NOTE: A new ink ribbon has a leader which makes it easier to use when threading  
the ribbon through the print area.  
3) Put an empty ink-ribbon take-up core on the ink-ribbon take-up arbor. The ink  
take-up core must be at least as wide as the ink supply. The tape on the supply  
roll of ink will be used to fasten the leader to the core.  
4) Advance the ink until the leader starts to wrap around the take-up core.  
5) Lower the take-up arbor into place. You will have to rotate the ink arbor as the  
swing arm is returned to the drive roller to keep excess slack ink from between  
the print head and the take up roller.  
NOTE: Make sure that the ink-ribbon take-up core and the ink-ribbon supply roll  
are against the edge guide plate so that the ink ribbon tracks straight through the  
print station.

LOADING STOCK FOR THE FIRST TIME  
1) Slide the outboard stock guide to a position wider than the roll of stock to be  
loaded. Set the stock roll core over the outboard guide and slide the roll to the  
back guide. Move the outboard stock guide in until it contacts the stock roll.  
2) Remove the tape or pull the glued end of the stock loose from the supply roll of  
stock. Pull off about 2 feet (.5 m) of stock to thread it through the printer.  
NOTE: If the material was glued to the core, cut off all material that has glue on  
any surface.  
3) Open the print head by pressing the release lever.  
4) Open the web guide just before the print head platen roller to a width wider than  
the stock to be used.  
5) With the cover in the up position, slide the leading edge of the stock through the  
lower guide that also contains the sensor system. Keep the stock to the back of  
the printer as the unit is a back justified printer.  
6) As the stock exits the sensor area, continue to slide the stock through the  
print station. At this point you may need to direct the edge of the stock  
below the ink drive roller.  
7) With the feed roller open, slide the stock through the two feed rollers, aux. feed  
and through the knife into the stacker approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.  
8) Check that the stock is still to the back of the printer.  
9) Adjust the front web guide, just in back of the platen roller, until it just misses the  
front guide. This is to allow for the slight tolerance variation in the stock.  
10) Close the feed roller and the print head station.  
11) Rewind any loose stock onto the supply roll.

Butt Splice  
NOTE: DO NOT RUN BUTT SPLICES THROUGH THE PRINT STATION  
The PAXAR 656 / 636 has been designed with the operators need to change supplies  
quickly in mind. Re threading the stock is quicker than butt splicing. If you have  
determined a butt splice is necessary, tape the free end of the new stock roll & the  
free end still in the printer together. Make sure you have determined how the new  
roll will go on the printer to prevent any twist in the stock.  
Following the procedure previously outlined, load new supply roll onto the printer.  
Remove all slack by rotating the supply roll counterclockwise. Advance splice  
beyond the print station. This can best be accomplished by using the stock feed  
function switch combination (see push button description in Control Panel section).  
NOTE: Whenever stock of a different type or width is put on the printer, a sample  
run should be performed. If the print quality is acceptable, you can immediately  
begin your production run. If the print quality needs to be optimized, refer to the  
Setup Procedures and perform the procedure needed to make the necessary  
improvement.  
Web Guide Adjustment  
The Paxar 656 / 636 printer has been designed with the operators needs in mind.  
Therefore there are only two web guides in the printer that may need to be changed  
as the width of the rolls change for formats. Neither of these adjustments require a  
tool. Guide adjustments have already been covered in the stock loading procedure.  
The first guide is on the roll support bar. The front guide must be slid to the back of  
the printer to hold the supply roll against the back guide plate. Place your thumb  
against the round stub close to the support bar. Push the guide until it firmly  
contacts the front of the supply roll. This will hold the supply against the back  
guide. This completes the adjustment for this guide.  
The second guide is located just to the left of the print head and platen roller. This  
guide must be set close to the front edge of the card stock but must not pinch the  
edges. If the guide is too tight, the card stock will have rolled up edges. To move  
this guide place your finger to the inside or the guide opposite the guide pressure  
screw and pull to widen the opening. To close down the opening, place your thumb  
against the side of the pressure screw to slid the guide in.  
NOTE: THE BACK EDGE OF THE WEB GUIDES HAVE BEEN FACTORY  
SET. CHECK THAT THE FORMAT HAS BEEN MADE CORRECTLY BEFORE  
MAKING FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS.  
There are two independent adjustments and one fixed back guide. The one fixed  
back guide is opposite the platen roller guide. This has been located to control the  
edge of the stock to the first dot on the print head. This location is critical to Paxar's  
Formatter software. Do not adjust this guide with out consulting a Paxar service  
engineer.  
The adjustable back guide is located on the back of the stock support bar. This  
guide is moved by loosening the button head screw located to left of the support bar.  
Loosen the screw and slide the forward or back as needed. The ideal location is to  
measure from the front of the plate 31/32" (24.6mm) back to the housing.

The only other adjustment for the back of the web is the back stacker up-right rail.  
To move the location of the up-right loosen the knob under the stacker and slide the  
unit in or out as needed. The up-right rail should be located approx. 1/16" (1.5mm)  
to the back of the label or tag as it enters the stacker.  
Print Head Open / Close  
The print head module is to be opened and closed for threading the stock and ink.  
The unit must also be opened to clean the head and for print head replacement.  
Later in the manual, under separate heading, cleaning and replacement will be  
covered.  
The print head has an interlock switch that prevents the printer from running with  
the head in the open position. If the head is open the display will read GUARD  
OPEN. Both the top cover and head use the same command.  
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE PRINT HEAD WITHOUT WEARING THE  
ANTI-STATIC GLOVES AND THE STATIC WRIST STRAP.  
To open the print head for threading supplies, press the lower portion of the latch  
(see figure ). The head mount plate will hinge from the back to swing open.

Print Head Handling  
Warning  
Print heads can be damaged easily, and are subject to premature failure if not  
cleaned on a regular basis. Please follow the procedures carefully to help ensure  
print head life and print quality.  
Thermal print heads are very sensitive and must be handled with care to help ensure  
longer print head life. Because print heads may be damaged through a number of  
ways, Paxar has developed the following procedures;  
Handling  
Static discharge is very detrimental to thermal print heads. To avoid contacting  
print heads with a static charge, follow these simple procedures:  
- All print heads should be kept in original anti-static bags until they are  
placed in the machine.  
- The 656 / 636 printer is supplied with an anti-static wrist strap. Locate  
the strap - it must be worn at all times when handling the print heads.  
- Do not touch any terminals extending from the print head or the print line.  
- Anti-static gloves are provided with your machine upon installation and  
extras may be ordered from Paxar. These gloves must be worn at all  
times when handling the print head. If an anti-static glove is not  
available, make absolutely certain to thoroughly wash and dry your  
hands before handling the print head. Oils from your hands can  
contaminate the print line and quickly destroy the printing elements.

Print Head Cleaning  
CAUTION: TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE PRINTER BEFORE  
STARTING ANY CLEANING.  
NEVER REMOVE THE HEAD FROM THE PRINTER EXCEPT FOR  
REPLACEMENT.  
The Anti-static wrist strap (which must contact the skin and be  
tight) and anti-static gloves must be worn at all times when  
handling a print head to avoid damaging the print head.  
Supplies:  
- Always use clean supplies when cleaning the head.  
- Never use anything abrasive to the head.  
- NEVER use anything metallic on or near the printhead.  
- Alcohol and a cotton swab are the recommended items to use when cleaning the  
printhead.  
RECOMMEND PAXAR "MASTER CLEANING KIT" # 921338  
Procedure:  
-The Printhead should be cleaned every two to four hours of continuous usage. A  
good cleaning of the print head after eight to twelve hours of continuous usage  
should be done. This cleaning must be done with the print head in the printer.  
- Apply a liberal amount of alcohol to a swab.  
- Rub the swab across the print line of the printhead to remove the build-up.  
- The platen roller and feed rollers should also be cleaned with alcohol to remove ink  
and card dust build-up.

Print Head Replacement  
NEVER REMOVE THE PRINT HEAD FROM THE PRINTER EXCEPT  
FOR REPLACEMENT.  
TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE PRINTER BEFORE STARTING ANY  
ELECTRONIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.  
NOTE: The Anti-static wrist strap (which must contact the skin and be tight) and  
anti-static gloves must be worn at all times when handling a print head to avoid  
damaging the print head.  
1) Review the Printhead Handling Procedure Sheet packaged with each print head to  
determine if any procedures have changed before beginning this procedure.  
2) Remove the ink from the machine for easy print head removal.  
3) Unplug the ribbon cable that runs to the print head. Unplug the cable by firmly,  
but gently pulling it out.  
4) Back the print head pressure screws off counterclockwise as far as possible.  
5) Place your hand (with static gloves on) underneath the print line of the print head  
and push up to release the locator pins on the heat sink, while pulling the print  
head to the right of the machine. This will remove the print head assembly from  
the mount plate. You may need to "help" the print head out by pushing on the  
heat sink with your left hand.  
6) Remove the two print head mount screws located on the top of the print head  
with a 2.5mm ball driver.  
7) Remove the old printhead carefully from the heat sink.  
8) Place the new print head into the heat sink. Check to see that the new printhead  
sits square in the heat sink and that there is no end play. If there is end play, or  
the head does not seat properly, the heat sink guide will need adjustment.  
9) Replace the two print head lock screws. Be sure that the head is resting flat on  
the heat sink before tightening these screws.  
10) Replace the print head assembly in the printer, making sure that the pin at the  
back of the heat sink goes into the hole in the mount plate. Make sure that the  
guide pins insert into both the front and back grooves.  
11) Reconnect the print head cable, making sure that the connector is seated tightly.  
NOTE: If the cable is not connected correctly, the print head will be destroyed when  
the machine is powered on. Check to see that the cable is tight by observing  
from underneath the print head. The ribbon cable connector should be inside of  
the black connector located on the print head.  
12) Replace the ink and double check your work. Power the machine on and make  
sure that no adverse effects are noted. As a final test of the print head installation,  
run a test pattern to check the print quality. You should observe an even grid of  
chevrons. If you do not see such a grid, you may wish to reference the topic of  
print head tangent adjustment.

Print Head Adjustment  
Tangent  
Proper print head tangent is perhaps the most important adjustment to make. A  
printhead which is not properly adjusted will result in poor print quality, poor heat  
dissipation and possible ink wrinkling problems. When the machine was  
manufactured, the print head was adjusted to the proper tangent point on the platen  
roller, however, with print head replacements the tangent point for the new print  
head may change. It is necessary to understand how to properly adjust the printhead.  
Clean Platen Roller  
You may determine if the printhead has been adjusted properly by performing a test  
pattern as documented elsewhere in this manual. A properly adjusted print head will  
produce an even grid of chevrons when the test pattern is performed. Before  
making any judgments as to the quality of the printhead, it is absolutely  
necessary to ensure that the platen roller and the printhead is clean of all  
debris. Clean the platen roller located immediately beneath the print head with a  
clean cloth and a small amount of alcohol. Be careful not to damage the platen roller  
while cleaning. If the roller is worn, replace the roller.  
Print Head Pressure Setting  
The print head pressure setting is very important. Keep the lightest setting possible.  
This will improve print head life while maintaining quality print.  
The printer has been factory set. Further adjustment of pressure adjusting screw  
should be minimal.  
If readjustment is required, proceed as follows: Power on the printer. Remove the  
ink and card stock from the printer. With the print head open, turn the pressure  
screw counterclockwise until it does not contact the printhead mount plate, it should  
slide freely back and forth. Close the print head. Slide the pressure screw until it sits  
directly over the center of the web. Turn the pressure screw clockwise until it makes  
contact with the head mount plate plus 1/2 turn to add pressure. As the web width  
changes adjust the pressure screw accordingly.  
Download the proper format for the stock that is loaded. Press start. The print quality  
should be acceptable if the pressure screw is properly positioned.  
Once the print quality is acceptable, start to back off the screw until the print begins  
to fail. Once the print is starting to fail, increase the pressure by 4 clicks. Minimum  
pressure should be used when running narrow webs, wide webs require slightly  
greater pressure. Additional print quality will be obtained by adjustments of the  
Tangent point, (see Print Head Tangent Point)  
If you are unable to correctly adjust the screw for good print, call for service.

Squaring the Print Head  
If the test pattern, printed on a wide web (4" (100mm) plus), is lighter on one edge  
than the other, it is possible that the printhead is out of square. This can be detected  
by looking at the front edge of the print head in reference to the printhead holder.  
To remedy this problem, power off the machine and remove the print head as  
outlined in the print head installation information. The printhead adjustment plate  
has been manufactured so when properly adjusted the head will be square. The  
printhead holder has a locator plate that must be slide up snug against the printhead  
mount plate. Install the head and it should be square to the web.  
Print Head Tangent Point  
The print head pressure adjustment must be done with the head pressure set light.  
Turn the pressure screw counterclockwise. Run a test pattern to determine the  
adjustment required.  
If the entire test pattern is broken up, the printhead is probably not adjusted to the  
proper tangent point. To adjust the tangent point loosen the two print head lock  
screws one half turn with a 2.5mm ball driver provided in your spare parts kit. Do  
not remove the print head from the printer.  
Once the screws have been loosened, use the adjustment thumb screw to move the  
head forward and backwards. Since the adjustment is very precise, do not turn the  
thumb screw more than 1/4 of a turn before running another test pattern to determine  
if you are adjusting the print head in the proper direction. Tighten the two mount  
screws (Do not over tighten). Run a test pattern again to determine further  
adjustment required.  
Once you have restored a smooth even test pattern, re-tighten the two print head  
mount screws (Do not over tighten) and run one last test pattern.  
Registration Sensor Adjustment  
Adjusting Print Sensor Position  
If you are running sense mark material with a hole or slot for registration:  
- Open the feed roller and print head.  
- Move the stock by hand in the feed direction until the registration desired is in the  
slot window for the pickup sensor.  
- Close both the feed and print head.  
- Slide the top sensor assembly using the sensor handle while looking at the  
registration index sensor. When the light turns on, and stays on, the sensor is over  
the registration hole.  
If your machine stops, for no apparent reason, while it is in the middle of printing a  
batch of tickets, you may be missing sense marks (three consecutive tickets in which  
a sense mark was not found). Check for the following:  
- The front panel will display a screen indicating that there has been a missed  
sensor error.

- Check that the front web guides have been positioned properly - both on the  
supply roll and in front of the print roller.  
- Check that the feed roller pressure has been set equally across the roller.  
- Check to see that the print head pressure has been set properly.  
- Repeat the sensor alignment procedure.  
Cleaning Print Sensor  
When print registration, in reference to sense mark, becomes inconsistent or erratic  
the Sensor and Light Bar may need to be cleaned.  
Supplies:  
- Always use clean supplies when cleaning the sensor and light bar.  
- Never use anything abrasive to the sensor and light bar.  
- NEVER use an alcohol based solution when cleaning the sensor or light bar.  
- Dry air or a cotton swab are the PAXAR recommended items to use when cleaning  
the sensor and light bar.  
Sensor Trim Pots  
Your 656 / 636 printer is equipped with several sensors used to detect the status of  
the printer and its supplies. While these sensors are calibrated at the time your  
printer is manufactured, there may be times when re-calibration is required. Re  
calibration times are indicated in the troubleshooting section.  
The following guidelines indicate the proper procedure used to calibrate the sensors.  
A voltmeter is highly recommended for this procedure, however the Bank of Lights  
will provide an estimation of sensor performance until peak performance can be  
achieved with a voltmeter.  
Suggestion: clean all optical sensors prior to adjustment as dust and debris will  
adversely effect their performance.

The Hole / Slot Registration Sensor in conjunction with the light bar allows the printer to register to  
preprinted media. The low level is the more crucial of the two adjustments. Note that the same pot is  
used for both adjustments and a compromise value must be achieved. Begin by removing the stock  
from the sensor path. Measure the low voltage throughout the mechanical travel of the sensor by  
sliding it inboard and outboard. The voltage at all points should not vary more than 0.75VDC. If it  
does the sensor slide bar and or the light bar must be mechanically aligned (see Hole / Slot Index  
Registration Sensor Mechanical Adjustment below). Once this is achieved find the web location  
where the low voltage is the highest and adjust the pot until the reading is 0.75VDC or less. Now  
block the sensor path with the media you intend to run. The high level should be greater than 3.5VDC  
at all points of the sensor’s travel.  
Hole / Slot Index Registration Sensor Mechanical Adjustment:  
There are two areas that can be adjusted to correct the voltage readings. The upper sensor square bar  
may be loosened from the back of the printer and rotated. The second adjustment is to loosen the light  
bar mount screws and move the bar in the web direction. When the light bar screws are retightened be  
careful not to over tighten and brake the light bar PC board.

The Full Stacker Sensor allows the printer to detect a full load of labels in the  
stacker. The stack full condition will be detected by a switch and will stop the  
machine when the stacker is full. The Jam Sensor feature will detect each cut label  
as it leaves the cutter. If a cut fails to occur, the machine will stop. To adjust the  
jam sensor, block the sensor and adjust the pot until the high value is achieved.  
Remove the block from the sensor and adjust the pot until the low level is met. The  
low level is the more crucial of the two adjustments.  
NOTE: The same pot is used for both adjustments and a compromise value must be  
achieved.  
Stock out Adjustment  
The stock out sensor has been set at the factory, however for some stocks it may be  
necessary to adjust the sensor to detect stock out. With a full roll of stock loaded in  
the machine, run the printer and observe how far behind the stock (to the left of the  
stock) the stock out wire rod is located. This should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch (6  
to 12mm) behind the running stock. If not, loosen the set screw and rotate the wire  
to the acceptable distance and re tighten.  
Knife Square Adjustment  
The knife has an adjustment to square the cut to the stock. To make the adjustment,  
loosen the two cap screws, one on top of the knife and one below the knife, using the  
3/16 ball driver in the tool kit. Move the knife in the direction desired to square the  
cut and re tighten.

Stacker Adjustments  
The stacker has four adjustments which can be made without a tool to accommodate  
different types of stocks.  
Stock Length Adjustment  
Loosen the two thumb screws at the base of the stacker uprights and slide the  
uprights to a position that allows the cut tag or label to hang over the last belt roller  
approximately 1/4" (6mm). Re tighten.  
Stock Width Adjustment  
Loosen the two thumb screws behind the stacker uprights and adjust the stacker  
upright nearest to the operator to the desired stock width position. Re tighten.  
Stacker Angle Adjustment  
Loosen the lever located on the side of the stacker assemble nearest the operator and  
adjust the angle of the stacker with a few cut labels in the stacker so that there is a  
slight gap under the last label as it hangs over the last belt drive roller. Re tighten.  
Stacker Full Adjustment  
The sensor on the inboard stack up right is used to stop the printer when the stack is  
full. A thumb screw adjustment is provided to set the stack height. Warning, some  
stock materials can not be stacked to the full height of the stacker because of  
excessive weight.  
Stock Feed Adjustment  
When changing stock type, the stock feed should be readjusted. This is important to  
reduce any slip for too light an adjustment and reduce excessive roller wear for too  
tight an adjustment. To adjust, loosen the two top set screws using the 5/64 Allen  
key in the kit. With the new stock in the drive roller, fully close the stock feed lever  
(rotate fully counter-clockwise). Tighten both set screws until there is slight pressure  
on the stock. Run the one inch pull format and adjust the set screws an equal amount  
based on the results. If the one inch label measures less than one inch, tighten  
(clockwise) each screw slightly and repeat the measurement. It the one inch label  
exceeds one inch, loosen (counter-clockwise) the tension on both set screws equally.  
As a final check for stock feed balance between in board and outboard, the inboard  
edge of the stock should be 31/32" (24.6mm) from the main vertical support plate of  
the printer. To move the stock inboard, away from the operator, loosen the inboard  
set screw slightly. This can be done while running the unit. To move the stock  
outboard, toward the operator, loosen the outboard set screw slightly.

Mechanical Adjustment Of Feed Roller Pressure (Blue  
Roller)  
General  
The blue rubber pressure roller is supported by an eccentric shaft mounted in  
bearings located in vertical slots in the front and rear mounting plates of the drive  
module. These bearings are supported by compression springs and controlled by set  
screws located in the top of the bearing mounts.  
Adjustment Procedure:  
1) Release eccentric control lever and remove stock.  
2) Using a piece of the same stock being run as a "feeler" gauge, adjust set-screws  
until "feeler" gauge just slides between rollers evenly across width of rollers with  
pressure eccentric lever closed.  
3) Release pressure and rethread. Further equally adjust set-screws (2) clockwise  
1/2 - 3/4 of a turn. Close pressure lever.  
4) Operate machine. Minor adjustments can now be made to the set-screws to cause  
stock to run 31/32" (24.6mm) from upright frame.

Receiver  
General  
The receiver for light from the LED emissions bar for stock registration is mounted  
on a square shaft directly above the web guide plate assembly, just prior to the print  
module. Although this bar is factory adjusted prior to shipment, it may be necessary  
to readjust the bar to assure proper light reception.  
Adjustment Procedure:  
1) Remove machine rear cover.  
2) Slide receiver block to the rear of the square bar.  
3) Thread pre punched stock through web guide and adjust outer guide to lightly  
touch outer edge of stock.  
4) Move stock until pre punched hole is visible in slot above LED bar.  
5) Slide receiver block out until it is located approximately over the hole. (accurate  
adjustment forward and back can be accomplished when printer is electrically  
activated.)

Electrical Trouble Shooting / Machine Set Up Sequence  
If the printer is mechanically operable, proceed as follows:  
1) Power off the printer, remove the media and ink and thoroughly clean it from the  
unwind to the stacker using alcohol and a clean soft cloth. The print head should  
be cleaned as per the Print Head Cleaning instructions section in the manual.  
2) Load a full roll of an average width media and ink on the printer.  
3) Power on the printer. After passing diagnostics test one and two the front panel  
will display READY FOR BATCHES.  
4) Arrow down to the setup mode and press enter. Set the print, cut, and strobe to 0.  
5) From the host PC download a batch of 1000 labels using the 6X6 setup format 92.  
6) Adjust as needed the print head position and then pressure for optimum print  
quality. Refer to the Print Head Adjustment section in the manual. If the machine  
will not pull stock for this step refer to step number seven.  
7) Adjust the feed pressure to pull 11.0" +- .032" of media. Refer to the Stock Feed  
Adjustment section in the manual. After the machine is pulling the correct amount  
of media, measure the distance between the top of the media and the tracking line.  
This distance must be .5" +- .032" through out the label. If it is not, first check and  
adjust as needed the unwind core guide, and the web guide, then if needed adjust  
the feed pressure from side to side until it is. Re-verify that the label is 11.0" in  
length. If the print quality is inadequate refer back to step number six.  
8) Using two consecutive labels back to back check the squareness of the cut. Adjust  
the knife module as needed referring to the Knife Square Adjustment section in  
the manual.  
9) Using the front panel adjust the physical cut to be 1.0" +- .032" from the cut line  
on the label. The machine is now ready for production formats at which time the  
operator should need only to adjust the print, cut, and strobe via the front panel.  
NOTE: If the machine is used to print on multiple media types the print head may  
need to be adjusted for optimum print quality on each media as they are ran.

Mechanical Trouble Shooting Sequence  
If the printer is electrically operable, proceed as follows:  
1) Open printhead and drive pressure roller and remove stock.  
2) Adjust unwind inner web guide to 31/32" (24.6mm) per instructions (See  
Printer Operation - Web Guide Adjustment).  
3) Take a short (2-3") (50-75mm) piece of stock you wish to run and adjust the drive  
module pressure per instructions (See Maintenance / Adjustments - Stock  
Feed Adjustments).  
4) Rethread machine, close drive module pressure handle. Close print module.  
Release pressure on printhead adjustment knobs. Operate printer and fine tune  
drive module pressure until web tracks at 31/32" (24.6mm) from back edge to  
center frame.  
5) Open drive pressure module, remove stock and ink and readjust print module  
pressure per instructions (See Maintenance / Adjustments - Print Head  
Adjustments).  
6) Reinstall stock and ink, operate and make any further adjustments (sense-mark,  
stock-out arm, stacker etc) per trouble shooting section of manual.  
Lubrication Procedure  
General  
The 636 / 656 series printers are factory equipped with either composition bearings  
not requiring lubrication or pre-lubricated bronze bearings. The one exception is the  
rub cams on either end of the rotary knife. Periodic cleaning of the printer and  
removal of dust will greatly enhance the length of the time the printer will function.  
Cam - Lubrication Procedure  
1) Clean dust and residue from cams (using alcohol or other suitable solvent) daily,  
or approximately every 100K cuts. Use any good quality general purpose grease  
(not oil). Apply with cotton swab or other non-metallic device.  
2) If lubrication is omitted, knife will squeak and draw attention to required  
lubrication.  
Composition (Iglide) Bearings  
1) If field replacement of an assembly fitted with an Iglide bearing is performed, a  
single drop of spindle oil should be applied to assist in bearing break-in.  
2) If, after long use, an Iglide bearing starts to "squeak", disassemble the component  
containing the bearing and lightly abrade the shaft surface. Clean the bearing  
(dust or old oil) with alcohol, re lubricate with 1 drop of light oil and reassemble.  
No other printer lubrication should be required in normal use.

1. After the clutch and actuator is mounted to the knife, attach the solenoid assembly to the inside  
support using two 6-32 x 3/8 cap screws, flat washers, and lock washers. Make sure the plunger  
moves freely and does not bind. Motor and faceplate must be mounted also.  
2. Check the gap between the actuator and the top of the pin on the clutch as shown in drawing.  
The plunger should be pushed in to make the measurement.  
Other hints if there is still a problem:  
If the gap is greater then .047”, an old solenoid bracket is being used. Replace (P/N 357003) or  
slot the bracket.  
If plunger binds, the solenoid is not parallel with the base of the bracket that mounts to the knife  
support, and/or the actuator slot is bottoming out on the roll pins that are on the plunger. Make

Torsion Spring should be at an angle of 60±2°. Lay the spring over the drawing below to see if  
the spring is made properly.  
Plunger pins should be centered on shaft. If either pin is loose DO NOT use the plunger. The  
pins should be checked before installing.  
(Rev 3) Replace both roll pins on all reworked assemblies.  
(Rev 4) Effective 3/3/97 a large nylon washer will be added between the coil pin and the c-clip  
on the plunger. To install, the c-clip has to be removed, then put the large washer on the  
plunger and push it down against the coil pin. While holding it in that location, re-install the c-  
clip. Now the Small nylon washer and spring can be put on the plunger and inserted into the  
solenoid.

There should be a .010-.020 gap (for roller clutch only) between the two clutch pieces.  
(Test on the solenoid test box.) The knife must cut both fabric and card stock. The solenoid  
should operate on both the high and low settings.  
Excessive motor drag must be minimal at start/stop and while running. Replace or repair  
problem component. On old knife assemblies, there are bronze bushings in outer support. They  
may be causing a bind. Ream bushing and retest. (Do not ream if it is a roller bearing.)  
(Rev 1) Pre-load setting adjustment. While motor is running, not while cutting, loosen set  
screws on “pac-man” and rotate the rotary blade clockwise, mark the stopping position on the  
“pac-man”, rotate counterclockwise, mark the “pac-man”, then rotate the blade to the middle of  
the two marks and tighten the set screws.  
(Rev 2) All new knife assemblies have a blue clutch. The clutch outer race bushing has an I.D.  
of .500 and the 2 extension springs are .012 dia wire.  
(Rev 2) The 2 extension springs on all rebuilt clutches must have the .009 dia. wire springs  
replaced with .012 wire springs.  
(Rev 5) Replace Knife Actuator 357020, if it is worn or if there is a “bulge” at the 90-degree  
bend.  
(Rev 6) Changed feeler gauge tolerance from .047 MIN
