  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've reviewed the TigerStop Printer Installation Guide. This document provides instructions on how to set up the printer, configure its settings, as well as use TigerPrint Display. I'm ready to answer your questions about the printer and its features, such as thermal labels, multiple printer models and software.
  • What types of labels does the printer use?

Safety First!
Any Automatic equipment can be dangerous if used improperly, and this includes TigerStop and its line of automation
equipment: TigerStop, TigerPro, TigerFence (standard and SLR), TigerCrossCut, TigerTurbo, TigerRack, Heavy Duty2
and TigerSaw.
But before you put your tape measure away and start making a TigerStop machine your newest best friend, please
read and consider the following safety reminders, some of which may relate to the operation of your other power tools
as well.
If a warning is also found elsewhere in this manual or on a label axed to the machine, the reference is shown in
parentheses.
Warning: TigerStop, TigerFence, TigerCrossCut, TigerRip Fence, Heavy Duty2, TigerTurbo and
TigerRack are machine components intended for use in conjunction with other potentially dangerous
machinery. The use of these components does not make that machinery safe. TigerStop, LLC’s
products are not intended to substitute, in any manner, for safety requirements in general, or in
conjunction with other safety features to make the machine as safe as possible and to ensure that
it meets federal, state and local law with respect to safety and all other regulatory requirements. In
addition, TigerStop, TigerStop Heavy Duty 2, and TigerTurbo are machine components that should
qualied persons trained in safe operating procedures. Illustrations of TigerStop, TigerStop Heavy Duty2 and TigerTurbo
components in use do not show, and are not intended to show, safety features necessary to make the machinery safe to
operate.
(Label covering end cap of fence extrusions)
Warning: TigerStop (TigerFence SLR, TigerFence, TigerCrossCut, TigerTurbo, TigerRack, Heavy
Duty2 and TigerSaw) must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations,
as well as common sense safety requirements, Use only trained professionals when installing
TigerStop machines with existing equipment to ensure a safe and proper work station that will in no
way endanger the operator or any other personnel. Do not operate without proper training, both in
TigerStop operation, and in the operation of adjoining equipment.

and Heavy Duty2)
FOUR IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
1. Do not randomly drill and tap holes in the TigerStop fence beam for mounting or for any other purpose. This might
damage the drive system. All fastening or attachment to the fence beam MUST be made by inserting T-bolts or T-nuts
WITH washers!
2. It is CRITICAL - especially if NOT using TigerStop attachment brackets (UBR), that if T-nuts are used, the bolts are
prevented from tightening through them and into the aluminum fence beam. Again, it is imperative that washers be
used.
3. Uneven tightening of the bolts used to fasten down TigerStop to its mounting support can introduce a slight twist or
other deformation in the beam. This will result in inaccurate measurement and premature failure of the drive belt or
other components.
4. The motor box (compartment) contains DC voltage with potentially FATAL amperage. NEVER attempt any
unauthorized actions inside the motor box.

CAUTION: NEVER drill holes into the HD2 fence beam for any reason!
(HD2 Installation)
CAUTION: NEVER drill holes into the TigerTurbo fence beam for any reason!
(TigerTurbo Installation)
CAUTION: Washers MUST be used to prevent damage to the fence beam by over tightening!
(Mounting TigerStop to a Feed Table)
WARNING: Using a TigerStop interconnect does not relieve you of the responsibility for making
sure that your saw or other tool has all the necessary safety equipment in place.

you can print labels with custom part information. TigerStop offers a 2 inch wide printer (PR2) and a 4
inch wide printer (PR4). Each printer is tted with thermal labels, so you will not need to replace ink or
toner cartridges.
