To insure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the  
operator and the equipment, please observe the following precautions.  
2.1 Installation  
•
Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location  
free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibration or  
direct sunlight.  
•
•
Keep your work environment static free. Static discharge can cause  
damage to delicate internal components.  
Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC  
Power and that no other high voltage devices that may cause line  
noise interference are connected to the same mains.  
•
•
Assure that the printer is connected to the AC mains with a three-  
prong power cable that has the proper ground (earth) connection.  
Do not operate the printer with the cover open. Be careful not to  
allow fingers or articles of clothing to get caught into any of the  
moving parts of the printer especially the optional cutter mechanism.  
•
Make sure to turn off the printer power and to remove the power cord  
from the printer whenever working on the inside of the printer such  
as changing the ribbon or loading the media, or when cleaning the  
printer.  
•
For best results, and longer printer life, use only TOSHIBA TEC  
recommended media and ribbons.  
•
•
Store the media and ribbons in accordance with their specifications.  
This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore  
you should never remove any of the covers of the machine as you  
may receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer contains  
many delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by  
unauthorised personnel.  
•
•
Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth  
slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.  
Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as it may become  
very hot while printing. Wait until it has had time to cool before  
cleaning. Use only the TOSHIBA TEC recommended print head  
cleaner to clean the print head.  
•
Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the  
printer is printing or while the ON LINE lamp is blinking.

ENGLISH VERSION EO1-33055  
2.13 Threshold Setting  
To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media sensor to  
detect a print start position according to the difference of voltage between  
a print area and a gap or black mark. When the media is pre-printed, the  
darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper  
jam errors.  
2.13 Threshold Setting  
To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.  
If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be  
manually set.  
Automatic threshold setting procedure  
1. Turn the power ON. The printer is in online mode.  
2. Load a pre-printed media roll.  
When using a label stock, move the Feed Gap Sensor so that it is in  
line with the centre of the label.  
When using a tag stock, move the Black Mark Sensor so that it is in  
line with the centre of a black mark.  
3. Press the [PAUSE] key.  
4. The printer enters the pause mode.  
5. Press and hold the [PAUSE] key in the pause state until the following  
screen appears.  
6. The sensor type is displayed.

have been issued.  
The media will continue to be fed until the [PAUSE] key is released.  
(An automatic threshold setting for the selected sensor is completed  
by this operation.)  
NOTES:  
1. Failure to feed more than 1.5  
labels may result in an incorrect  
threshold setting.  
2. While the Top Cover is raised,  
the [PAUSE] key does not work  
3. A paper end error cannot be  
detected during paper feed.

When the gap length is less than 4 mm:  
The black mark length should be longer than the gap length.  
When the gap length is 4 mm or more:  
The black mark should not overlap the gap for more than 4 mm and the following label.  
Black marks should be printed on reverse side of the gaps. Also, they should contact or overlap the  
preceding label’s bottom end line.  
4. “On the fly issue” means that the printer can feed and print without stopping between labels.

7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types  
Media type  
Vellum paper and labels  
Coated paper  
Description  
General use for low cost applications.  
Matt coated paper  
General use including applications that require small letters and/or symbols.  
Glossy coated paper  
Used where a high-grade finish is required  
Synthetic film (Polypropylene, etc.)  
Plastic films  
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength  
and low-temperature resistance, but poor heat resistance (dependant upon  
material). This material can be used for labels stuck to recyclable  
containers, so it can be recycled in the same process.  
PET film  
This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength,  
and low-temperature resistance as well as heat resistance. This material is  
used for many applications, especially where high durability is required.  
Mode/serial plate labels, caution labels, etc.  
Polyimide  
This material gives the best performance on heat resistance (greater than  
PET film). It is often used for PCB labels as it can withstand passage  
through a solder bath.

7.4 Care/Handling of the Media and Ribbon  
CAUTION!  
Be sure to read carefully and understand the Supply Manual. Use only media and ribbons which meet specified  
requirements. Use of non-specified media and ribbons may shorten the head life and result in problems with bar  
code readability or print quality. All media and ribbons should be handled with care to avoid any damage to the  
media, ribbons or printer. Read the guideline in this section carefully.  
•
•
Do not store the media and ribbon for longer than the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life.  
Store media rolls on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved sides as this might flatten that side  
causing erratic media advance and poor print quality.  
•
•
•
•
Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected media can get dirty and the  
extra abrasion from the dust and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.  
Store the media and ribbon in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be exposed to direct  
sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, dust or gas.  
The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have specifications which exceed Na+ 800  
ppm, K+ 250 ppm and Cl- 500 ppm.  
Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which shorten the print head’s product life.  
Do not use labels pre-printed with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium (CaCO3)  
and kaolin (Al2O3, 2SiO2, 2H2O).  
For further information, please contact your local distributor or your media and ribbon manufacturers.

APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES  
APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES  
Bar code  
Feed gap sensor  
A code which represents alphanumeric characters  
by using a series of black and white stripes in  
different widths. Bar codes are used in various  
industrial fields: Manufacturing, Hospitals,  
Libraries, Retail, Transportation, Warehousing, etc.  
Reading bar codes is a fast and accurate means of  
capturing data while keyboard entry tends to be  
slow and inaccurate.  
A transmissive sensor which detects the difference  
of potential between the gap between labels and  
the label to find the print position of the label.  
Font  
A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one  
style of type. E.g. Helvetica, Courier, Times  
Gap  
Batch mode  
Clearance between labels  
Issue mode that continuously prints media until the  
specified number of media has been printed.  
IPS  
Inch per second  
The unit used to express print speed.  
Black mark  
A mark printed on the media so that the printer can  
maintain a constant print position by detecting this  
mark.  
LCD  
Liquid Crystal Display  
Installed on the operation panel and displays  
operation modes, error message and so on.  
Black mark sensor  
A reflective sensor which detects the difference of  
potential between the black mark and print area to  
find the print start position.  
Label  
A type of media with adhesive backing.  
Cut mode  
Media  
Printer mode of operation where an optional cutter  
module is installed to automatically cut media from  
the supply roll after they are printed. The print  
command can specify to cut every media or to cut  
after a set number of media have been printed.  
Material on which data is printed by the printer.  
Label, tag paper, fanfold paper, perforated paper,  
etc.  
Plug and Play  
When Plug and Play is enabled, the PC will  
automatically identify the printer (if the PC  
supports Plug & Play), optimize the system  
resource (IRQ and DMA), and display a message  
prompting a printer driver installation.  
Cutter module  
A device used to cut the media.  
DPI  
Dot Per Inch  
The unit used to express print density.  
Pre-printed media  
A type of media on which characters, logos, and  
other designs have been already printed.  
Expansion I/O interface  
An optional interface circuit that may be installed  
into the B-852 printer to allow the printer to be  
connected to an external device such as a wrapping  
machine and to receive feed, print start, and pause  
signals from the external device and to send back  
print, pause, and error status signals to the external  
device.  
Print head element  
The thermal print head consists of a single line of  
tiny resistive elements and when current is allowed  
to flow through each element it heats up causing a  
small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a  
small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal  
ribbon to ordinary paper.

APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES  
ENGLISH VERSION EO1-33055  
APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES  
Print speed  
The speed at which printing occurs. This speed is  
expressed in units of ips (inches per second).  
Threshold setting  
A sensor setting operation to have the printer  
maintain a constant print position of pre-printed  
media.  
Reflective sensor  
See Black mark sensor.  
Transmissive sensor  
See Feed gap sensor.  
Resolution  
USB (Universal Serial Bus)  
The degree of detail to which an image can be  
duplicated. The minimum unit of divided image is  
called a pixel. As the resolution becomes higher,  
the number of pixels increased, resulting in more  
detailed image  
An interface that is used to connect peripherals,  
such as a printer, keyboard, mouse. The USB  
allows disconnection of a USB device without  
turning off the power.  
Web printer  
Ribbon  
The web printer function allows you to browse the  
printer status on the PC, issue media, check or  
change the settings, or download the firmware to  
the printer. For details, refer to the Network  
Specification.  
An inked film used to transfer an image onto the  
media. In the thermal transfer printing, it is heated  
by the thermal print head, causing an image to be  
transferred onto the media  
Supply  
Media and ribbon  
Supply holder  
This unit holds a media roll at the rear of the  
printer so that the media is fed toward the print  
head.  
Tag  
A type of media having no adhesive backing but  
black marks to indicate the print area. Usually tags  
are made of cardboard or other durable material.  
Thermal direct printing  
A printing method using no ribbon, but thermal  
media which reacts to heat. The thermal print head  
heats the thermal media directly, causing print  
image to be printed on the media.  
Thermal print head  
A print head using thermal transfer or thermal  
direct printing method.  
Thermal transfer printing  
A printing method that the thermal print head heats  
an ink or resin coating on the ribbon against the  
media, causing the ink/resin to transfer onto the  
media.
