FAQ
What types of wristbands are compatible with the SNR-KP602-WD?
The SNR-KP602-WD is compatible with thermal wristbands where the heat-sensitive coating is on the outer surface and the black mark is on the inner surface. It supports wristband widths from 20mm to 56mm (manually adjustable) and thickness from 0.06mm to 0.3mm, with a maximum roll diameter of 120mm.
What is the print speed and resolution?
The printer delivers a maximum print speed of 80mm/s with a resolution of 203 dpi, ensuring clear, legible text and barcodes suitable for medical and event applications.
What interfaces does the SNR-KP602-WD support?
The printer features both RS232 serial and USB 2.0 interfaces, making it compatible with most PC, POS, and embedded systems running Windows or Linux.
How do I load the wristband roll?
The printer features a side-opening paper holder – simply open the side cover, drop in the wristband roll, feed the leading edge into the paper path, and the auto-feed mechanism will draw it in. No tools or disassembly required.
What is the “output detection” sensor?
The output detection sensor is a unique feature that detects whether a printed wristband has been removed from the output slot. This provides clear status feedback to operators, preventing double-printing or missed wristband collection.
How do I adjust the black-mark sensor sensitivity?
The black-mark sensor sensitivity can be adjusted using a rotary knob on the sensor module – allowing fine-tuning to accommodate different wristband materials and black-mark contrast levels.
How often should I clean the print head?
We recommend cleaning the print head with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab (thoroughly wrung out) every 1-2 weeks under normal usage, or whenever you notice print quality degradation such as missing dots or faint output.
What is the expected lifespan of the print head and cutter?
The print head is rated for 100 km of printing, and the cutter is rated for 500,000 cutting cycles. Actual lifespan may vary based on wristband material quality, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices.
What should I do if a paper jam occurs?
Immediately turn off the power. Open the side cover, gently remove the jammed wristband roll, and clear any fragments. Reload the roll and restart the printer. If jams persist, check for debris in the cutter area or contact technical support.
The red error light is flashing. What should I do?
A flashing red error light typically indicates:
- Paper out – replace the wristband roll
- Cover open – ensure the side cover is securely closed
- Voltage abnormality – verify your power supply delivers 24V ±5% DC
- Cutter error – check for jams in the cutter mechanism
Is the SNR-KP602-WD compatible with my existing software?
The printer uses standard thermal printing command sets and supports RS232/USB interfaces, making it compatible with most medical, event, and POS software. Our SDK and protocol documentation are available for custom integration.
