Frequently Asked Questions - RW-12 PRIMERA
What printing method does the Primera RW-12 use?
The RW-12 uses direct thermal printing, which means it requires heat-sensitive labels and does not use ink or toner. The print head applies heat directly to the label material.
How do I load labels into the RW-12 printer?
Open the top cover, insert the label roll onto the label holder, then route the labels through the paper guide and under the sensor. Close the cover and press the feed button to advance the label.
What types of labels are compatible with the RW-12?
The RW-12 supports direct thermal labels in various widths up to 118 mm. Use labels with a thermal coating that are recommended for direct thermal printing to ensure optimal print quality.
How do I clean the print head of the RW-12?
Switch off the printer, open the cover, and wait for the print head to cool. Use a lint-free swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the print head. Allow it to dry completely before printing.
Why is my RW-12 not feeding labels?
Check that the label roll is not jammed, the paper guide is adjusted to the label width, and the sensor is positioned over the label gap. Clean the sensor if it is dusty. Also verify that the printer is not in pause mode.
How do I connect the RW-12 to a PC?
Use the included USB cable to connect the printer to your computer, or connect via Ethernet or RS-232 for remote setups. Install the appropriate driver and select the printer in your software.
Can I print on synthetic labels with the RW-12?
Yes, the RW-12 can print on synthetic polypropylene and polyester labels, provided they have a direct thermal coating. Always test a small batch to ensure print quality and adhesion.
What should I do if the print quality is poor?
Check the print darkness setting in the driver, ensure the print head is clean, and verify that the label roll is of good quality. Low print contrast can also result from improper pressure between the print head and platen roller.
How do I calibrate the label sensor?
Calibrate the sensor using the automatic calibration function in the printer's settings menu or control command. This detects label gaps and ensures accurate positioning for each label.
Where can I find spare parts and accessories for the RW-12?
Genuine Primera replacement parts including print heads, platen rollers, and label guides can be ordered from authorized Primera distributors or the official Primera website. The modular design allows simple replacement.
