8 User’s Manual—SNAP™ 500 Gen 1 and Gen 2
Classification: Avery Dennison - Public
INTRODUCTION
AVERY DENNISON has designed the SNAP
TM
500 printer for simple installation,
easy operation, and dependability. Use your printer to produce two-sided, multi-
color care labels for your apparel, footwear, or other products needing
identification. Printing up to a speed of up to 7 inches (178 mm) per second,
(supply dependent) the SNAP 500 printer features quick change-outs of inks and
tapes, multilingual voice prompts, and easy operating system updates.
This manual guides the printer operator as an easy-to-use, quick-reference
guide. It contains procedures for receiving, handling, set-up, installation,
operation, and maintenance of the SNAP 500 printer.
The SNAP 500 printer line consists of 2 generation of printers:
SNAP 500 Gen 1 is a 2-headed machine for printing on both sides of the
label.
SNAP 500 Gen 2 is a 1-, 2-, or 3-headed machine. It always has
locations for 3 heads even if there the printer does not have all 3 heads.
This is how to tell the two machines apart.
This manual covers all head configurations for both generations.
Throughout this manual, a system of NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS
identify key information to ensure your personal safety and to proper printer
operation. Please review these carefully.
We also strongly suggest that you watch the 17-minute training video,
which is available on the Avery Dennison support web site. Refer to the
documentation included with the printer for more details.
NOTES call attention to information that is especially
significant to understanding and operating the equipment.
CAUTION notices inform you of actions or situations in
which the printer might be damaged.
WARNING notices describe situations in which lack of
attention or insufficient equipment knowledge could cause
either personal injury or damage to the printer.
