  1. Rewinder Assembly
  2. Media Retainer
  3. Core Adapter
  4. Mounting Screws (3)
  5. Arc Plate

Tools Required

To install this option, you will need a Phillips screwdriver.

Step 1: Preparing the Printer

A) Turn ‘Off’ the Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the AC Receptacle.
B) Press down on the Catch, then pull forward to remove the Door.
 C) Raise the Access Cover and remove your media from the printer. Then, remove the Thumbscrew and Tear Plate. (Alternately, if equipped with a Cutter or Present Sensor, remove that device.)


D) Remove the Cover Screw and the Cover Plate.

Step 2: Installing the Option

A) Align the Rewinder Assembly (Item ) to the Center Plate opening then, while carefully seating it into the Power Receptacle, insert the Rewinder Assembly.

B) Using the three Mounting Screws (Item ), secure the Rewinder Assembly to the Center Plate.

C) Given the available uses of this option, proceed with the installation according to the needs of your application:

  • To rewind onto empty media cores, proceed to D; or,
  • To rewind directly onto the Rewinder Hub, go to step 3: “Using the Option.”

D) Insert the Tabs of the Core Adapter (Item ) into the Rewinder Hub Slots then slide the Core Adapter onto the Rewinder Hub.

E) Grasp, pull, and squeeze to collapse the Rewinder Hub then slide the Core Adapter forward until it snaps into position over the Backstops.
F) Slide a three-inch diameter Media Core onto the Core Adapter Collar.

(Note that the width of the Media Core should be at least as wide as the media you will be winding.)
G) Open the Latch. Slide the Retainer (Item ) onto the Rewinder Hub so that it securely captivates the Media Core, and then close the Latch.

Step 3: Using the Option

A) To use this option, proceed according to your application:

  • To wind printed labels onto a media core, attach the Arc Plate (Item ) to the Front Housing with the built-in Screw; or, Front Housing
  • To wind liner material only, attach your Peel and Present device to the printer.

B) Load Media as you normally would, but extend about 20 inches (50 cm) of it from the printer – then proceed according to your application:

  • To wind onto a Media Core –

Follow the directional arrows on the Core Adapter and wrap the Media in a counterclockwise direction around the Media Core then secure the leading edge using Tape. Rotate the Hub by hand to take up any slack in the media. There should be at least 2 or 3 full wraps of the media on the empty core before starting printing to ensure tight rewinded rolls.

  • To wind onto the Rewinder Hub –
    Remove the labels from the extended portion of media and crease the leading edge of this Liner Material.
    Wrap the Liner Material in a counterclockwise direction around the
    Rewinder Hub and insert the creased leading edge into one of its Slots. Insert the Media Clasp (Item ) into the Slot over the creased leading edge of the Liner Material and around the Rewinder Hub.

C) Plug the power cord into the AC Receptacle and turn ‘On’ the Power Switch.

(Depending upon its database configuration and other attached devices, the printer may sense and enable the option. In this case, the Rewinder will slowly turn for about thirty seconds.)

D) Press the FEED Key on the Front Panel while watching the Rewinder Hub, and then proceed according to your observations:

  • If the Rewinder Hub turns, this completes the installation; or,
  • If the Rewinder Hub does not turn, proceed to step 4: “Configuring the Printer.”

Step 4: Configuring the Printer

Note: In the following procedure, consult the Operator’s Manual for detailed front panel instructions.

Configure the printer for the option, as follows:

F) Turn the Power Switch ‘Off’ and ‘On’ to reset the printer and complete the configuration.

Removing Stock from the Internal Rewinder

The Internal Rewinder allows you to wind an 8-inch (203 mm) outer diameter roll of media or liner.
Proceed according to your application to remove material from the rewinder:

  • To remove rolled media, open the Latch on the Media Retainer, remove the Media Retainer, and then slip the rolled media and core of the Core Adapter; or,
  • To remove rolled liner material, grasp the roll, squeeze, pull, and slip the liner of the Rewinder Hub

Changing Applications

If your application for the Internal Rewinder changes, proceed according to the printer’s current configuration to add or remove components as necessary:

  • If you are currently winding labels onto a media core but want to begin winding liner material directly onto the hub, open the Latch and remove the Label Retainer. Carefully slide the Core Adapter off the Rewinder Hub (use a slight rocking motion, if necessary). Afterward, reference Step 3 (above) to wind onto the hub; or,
  • If you are currently winding liner material onto the hub but want to begin winding labels onto a media core, install the necessary components, starting with Step 2, part d (above).
