Preventing issues with retail pricing guns

Jamming

• If the trigger is pulled, in succession, too fast, the pricing gun may jam. 
• Make sure the sandpaper has not fallen off or been removed from the transport mechanism.

Alignment

• Make sure the labels are not loaded so that they are facing the print bands.
• The flat screw on the front of the gun is to adjust where the labels come out, which in turn, adjusts the location the printheads will print. A clockwise turn will move the print down; a counterclockwise turn will move the print up.

Changing the ink rollers

• Pull the trigger and hold it in position, not letting it click back.
• While holding the trigger, pull the trap door open.
• Remove the plastic holder as well as the ink roller attached to it. Do not throw away the holder.
• Recycle the used ink roller only. Be careful as the ink is extremely permanent.
• Snap the ink roller into the holder and slide back in the gun. Be sure to tightly secure both the ink roller into the holder and the holder into the gun.
• Close the trap door.

Ink coverage

• If the ink is too light, check when you last changed the ink roller. Ink rollers should be changed every 10,000 labels.
• If the gun has been stored for a long period of time, not being used, ink could be light due to the ink roller drying out...
• Never re-ink the ink roller.
• Clean the print bands with a soft brush. Do not use a solvent of any kind as this will melt the print band.
• If the print band is broken, the gun must be returned for repair. ** Please note that we will only take guns back for repair if they have been purchased from us **
