Troubleshooting

 
  1. Try flagging something that is perfectly cylindrical like a rod, dowel or pen to determine if the A5500 is calibrated properly. If the flag wraps correctly, the printer is calibrated. 
 
  1. Ensure the wire is being wrapped properly. Hold the wire perfectly straight across the flagging block near the jaws. Adjust your hand position slightly until the skew improves. Review the video for instructions on how to flag the wires.
 

 
 
  1. Adjust Feed to Wire in Settings > Print Adjustments > Feed to Wire. Test incremental values to gauge any change in flagging performance: A5500 - Adjust Feed to Wire.
Note: If the end-to-end edge alignment of the flag isn't matching up and you adjust Feed to Wire, make sure Wire diameter is set to Auto and Apply Tension in System Configuration is set to On.
 
  1. Adjust the Cable Flag Settings in Brady Workstation.

  1. If feed to wire does not resolve, further adjustment can be made in Settings > Printing Adjustments > Wire Diameter: A5500 - Wire Diameter Setting.

If the issue persists, contact Global Brady Technical Support for your region and include images of the labels.
