Ribbon can be loaded with the power on or off. The Wraptor A6200 printer uses A6200 series R4300 ribbon, part number A62-R4300.
Pull up on the latch and lift open the cover on the printer.
To remove the ribbon in the printer, pinch together the tabs on either side of the ribbon cartridge and pull the ribbon cartridge out of the printer.
If the ribbon is spent, recycle the cartridge according to local regulations. If the ribbon is not spent, store it in a cool, dry place. Unused ribbon will last up to six months before deterioration sets in.
Orient the new cartridge as shown above with the label on the top and the Brady logo on the bottom. Grasp the finger tabs and place it directly over the print head, pushing slightly to snap it into place.
If the ribbon cartridge has been used, turn the top spool to wind used ribbon onto the spool leaving only new, unused ribbon exposed.
Close the cover until it latches. You can see what ribbon is currently installed and how much ribbon remains in the status bar on the touch screen.
Brady labels come equipped with smart-cell technology that enables the printer and Brady labeling software to recognize the type of label and automatically set many label formatting details. Use only genuine Brady A62 series labels.
Turn the printer on and tap Load Supplies on the home screen, then tap Load Supply.
Pull up on the latch and lift open the cover on the printer.
Remove the existing label roll. (The printer comes with a liner installed in the label path. Note the correct placement before removing it.)
a. Leave at least six inches of empty liner on the end of the roll. You will need the length of empty liner when installing this roll again in the future.
b. Press the gray button on the front of the printer to open the wrapper module.
c. Press the yellow button to open the peeler door.
d. Gently rewind the spool with your finger to back the label supply out from the label path.
e. Grasp the label roll and gently pull up out of the label well.
Remove the protective tape covering the leading end of the labels on the new label roll.
With labels coming off the bottom of the spool toward the front of the printer, grasp the roll with the rabbit ears pointing up and insert the labels straight into the compartment, gently pushing until it clicks into place. Make sure the smart cell on the label roll aligns with the reader in the label well.
Press the gray button on the front of the printer to open the wrapper module.
Feed the leading edge of the label roll through to the front of the printer. The first few inches of the roll should have just the liner without any labels on it.
Note: Feeding labels past this point will cause labels to become stuck during printing. Make sure you are feeding bare liner.
Slide the liner to the right, between the peel plate and peel assist plate.
Press the yellow button to open the peeler door. Pull about six inches of liner through to the front.
Insert the liner into the yellow and black opening behind the two rollers until it hits a stop.
Lift the peeler door up to close it.
Turn the thumbwheel to the right of the peeler to tighten the liner.
Close the top cover on the printer until it latches.
Tap Feed Supply on the touch screen to advance the label supply. You may need to tap several times until a label dispenses from the printer.
Remove the dispensed label. Failure to do so will result in a jam.
Important: Always remove the spent label backing when changing supplies in the printer. DO NOT tape together partial rolls in the rewinder. Too much label backing accumulating on the spool could damage the motor. Monitor the spool in the rewinder and empty as needed.
Load the label supply in the printer if you have not already done so.
Print labels until approximately six inches of backing is discharged from the printer. (Alternatively, you can press Feed Supply on the touch screen to expel label material.)
Open the door on the front of the rewinder.
Flip down the yellow bar on the spool and insert the end of the label backing into the slot above the bar. Flip the yellow bar back up to secure the backing on the spool.
