Print Technology
The VIPER LS6 prints labels using thermal transfer printing technology. The
print head melts ink contained on a thin web of ribbon material allowing the
ink to transfer to the label material. The print head operates at a resolution of
203 dots per inch (dpi).
Smart Label Roll – See page 15
The VIPER LS6 label supplies are wound on a label cartridge that is plugged
into a socket in the printer. The label cartridge is read by the printer operating
system. The operating system AUTOMATICALLY selects the appropriate
printer settings. Also, the operating system will keep track of the number of
labels used from each roll and report the remaining labels to the user unless
labels are manually removed.
Ribbon Cartridge – See page 13
The ribbon material, which contains the thermal transfer ink, is housed in a
plastic housing to keep it clean, and to allow for easy installation and
replacement. Ribbons are available in wax, hybrid, and resin materials.
Battery Pack – See page 9
A 12 volt battery powers the VIPER LS6. The battery is a rechargeable NiMH
(Nickel-Metal Hydride) type which offers longer life than an equivalently sized
Ni-Cad (Nickel-Cadmium) battery. Also, NiMH batteries are more
environmentally friendly than Ni-Cad batteries, resulting in less stringent
recycling requirements.
AC Adapter / Battery Charger – See page 9
An AC Adapter is included for powering the VIPER LS6. The AC adapter is
compatible with international power systems (100 – 240 VAC). The VIPER
LS6 includes an internal overnight battery charging circuit. The AC Adapter is
used to power the charging circuit. This circuit is intended to charge a
completely discharged battery pack in less than 15 hours.
Label Cutter
A manually operated label cutter is included. The VIPER LS6 will
automatically place the printed label in the proper position for cutting.
Carrying Case
A custom carrying case to protect and transport the printer and accessories is
included.
PC-KIT – See page 47
An upgrade kit consisting of a serial cable for connection to a personal
computer (PC) and a CD of ViperLink software. The PC-KIT is used to
communicate between a PC and the VIPER LS6 printer.
