CAUTION  
If your 9445 printer has been in storage below room  
temperature, allow 10-12 hours for the printer to adjust to  
room temperature before turning the power on. Failure to  
do this may damage the printer.  
3. Turn the power switch off and insert the power cord into  
the socket. Plug the other end of the cord into a  
grounded 115 VAC electrical outlet.  
NOTE: If you are going to use the printer online, also  
connect the RS-232 cable.

2. Loading Supply  
The printer prints both tags and labels. The supply may be  
wound with the printable side on either the inside or the  
outside.  
This chapter explains how to load supply for  
Non-Peel Mode Printing (labels are printed in one strip.  
This can be used with Continuous Printing.)  
Peel Mode Printing (one label at a time while the  
backing paper rewinds inside the printer. This must be  
used with On Demand Printing.)  
Fan-Fold Mode Printing (fan-fold supply is printed in  
one strip). Call Service if you would like to use fan-fold  
supply.  
NOTE: If your printer has a knife, follow the instructions under  
"Non-Peel Mode." You cannot use On Demand  
printing with a knife. Also, if your printer has a knife, it  
does not have the take-up spool shown in the  
instructions for loading supply.  
If you are going to use thermal direct supply (no  
ribbon) and your printer is equipped with a ribbon roll  
adapter, turn the thermal supply indicator to the right.  
(See "Loading a Ribbon Roll" in Chapter 3.)  
Non-Peel Mode  
This mode is for both tags and labels. The printer dispenses  
the desired amount of supply without separating the backing  
paper from the label. This mode is usually used with  
continuous printing.

Loading Fan-Fold Supply  
The 9445 has the ability to print fan-fold supply with the  
optional fan-fold printer cover. If your printer does not have a  
fan-fold slot, contact Monarch Service to order a fan-fold  
printer cover.  
To load fan-fold supply:  
1. Open the front panel.  
2. Open the printhead by turning the printhead lever to the  
left.  
3. Fan all four sides of the supply stack and straighten any  
curved or bent corners. This will prevent supply from  
sticking together and causing feed jams.  
4. Place the supply approximately one fan-fold length behind  
the printer, label side up.

NOTE: Check the stack of printed labels a few times during  
the print job to make sure the labels fold at the same  
points at which they were folded before printing. If  
you remove some or all of the printed labels, check  
that the order of the folds is correct before you  
resume printing.

Adjusting the Supply Sensor  
The supply sensor controls how much supply feeds between  
tags or labels. The sensor reads black marks or feed apertures.  
To read black marks or apertures, the sensor must be aligned  
with the black mark or aperture on the tag. Otherwise, you’ll  
see an error message when you try to print a batch.  
When moving the sensor, turn the sensor adjustment knob:  
CLOCKWISE to move the sensor away from the inside  
edge of the supply.  
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to move the sensor toward  
the inside edge of the supply.

2. Loading Supply  
Die cut supply requires no sensor adjustment.  
1. Do one of the following:  
For black mark supply, turn the sensor adjustment knob  
counterclockwise until it stops. Do not force the knob.  
For feed apertures, turn the sensor adjustment knob  
counterclockwise until it stops. Then turn the knob  
clockwise as determined below.  
Measure from the edge of the supply to the center of  
the aperture.  
Subtract 1/8 inch (3.1 mm) from the measurement.  
Multiply the result by 36 (if you are measuring in milli-  
meters, multiply by 1.41).  
For example, if the measurement to the aperture center  
is 3/8 inch (9.5 mm), turn the knob 9 turns to center the  
sensor.

Adjusting the On Demand Sensor  
The On Demand sensor stops the printer between tags or  
labels when you print in the On Demand mode. The sensor  
detects the presence of supply in the exit chute of the printer.  
When you remove the tag or label, another tag or label prints.  
On Demand  
Sensor  
NOTE: The On Demand sensor must be positioned over a  
white or light area on the supply. If it is positioned  
over a dark area, the entire batch may print before the  
printer stops.  
You can adjust the On Demand sensor either right or left by  
pushing it with your finger.

3. Loading a Ribbon  
There are two types of supplies:  
Thermal Direct  
specially treated thermal supplies that  
don’t use a ribbon for printing.  
ThermalTransfer  
standard supplies that require a ribbon  
for printing.  
NOTE: DO NOT load a ribbon when printing on thermal direct  
supplies.  
When installing a ribbon, remember  
Ribbons may catch on supplies left in place.  
Supplies can misalign the ribbon as you move the  
supply up to the feed mark.  
The width of your ribbon must closely match the width  
of your supply.  
To install a ribbon roll, refer to "Loading a Ribbon Roll," later in  
this chapter. To install a ribbon cassette, refer to "Loading a  
Ribbon Cassette," later in this chapter.

If there is a visible print problem in a bar code, call  
Monarch Service. You can check the quality of your  
bar code if you have a bar code verifier.  
If there is a visible print problem that is not in a bar  
coed, but is acceptable to you, continue printing.  
If there is a visible print problem that is not in a bar  
code and is not acceptable to you, call Monarch
