Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Toshiba Linerless Label Printers

Q: What are Toshiba Linerless Label Printers?

A: Toshiba Linerless Label Printers are specialized printers designed to print on labels that do not have a backing liner. Instead, these labels have a special release coating on the top and a unique adhesive on the back, allowing them to be wound on a roll without sticking together. This eliminates the waste associated with traditional label liners.

Q: What are the key benefits of using Toshiba Linerless Label Printers?

A: Using Toshiba Linerless Label Printers offers several advantages:

• Reduced Waste: Eliminating the liner significantly reduces waste disposal and environmental impact.
• More Labels Per Roll: Linerless rolls typically contain up to 40-60% more labels than standard rolls, reducing roll changes and downtime.
• Variable Label Lengths: Print labels of varying lengths on demand without needing to switch rolls, offering greater flexibility and reducing label stock inventory.
• Increased Efficiency: Fewer roll changes and the elimination of liner disposal contribute to improved operational efficiency.
• Cost Savings: Reduced material costs (no liner), lower shipping and storage costs due to more labels per roll, and decreased waste disposal expenses.
• Improved Workplace Safety: No slippery liners on the floor, creating a safer working environment.

Q: What types of applications are Toshiba Linerless Label Printers suitable for?

A: Toshiba Linerless Label Printers are versatile and can be used across various industries, including:

• Transport & Logistics: Shipping labels, tracking labels, especially for uneven surfaces like cardboard.
• Retail: Price marking, shelf labelling, point-of-sale labels, e-commerce return labels.
• Food & Beverage: Labelling pre-packaged foods (including chilled and frozen), takeaway containers, deli and butcher labels.
• Quick Service Restaurants: Order labels for efficient takeaway service.
• Healthcare: Pharmacy bag labels, unit dose medication labelling.
• Manufacturing & Warehousing: Product and pallet labelling.

Q: Do Toshiba Linerless Label Printers require special labels?

A: Yes, Toshiba Linerless Label Printers require specialized linerless labels. These labels have a release coating on the face stock and a specially formulated adhesive on the back to prevent sticking on the roll. Toshiba offers a range of compatible linerless label materials designed for optimal performance with their printers.

Q: How do I clean and maintain my Toshiba Linerless Label Printer?

A: Regular cleaning is crucial for optimal performance. Here are some key maintenance steps:

• Printhead Cleaning: Use a recommended cleaning swab (often with isopropyl alcohol but check your printer manual as some advise against it on the platen roller) to gently clean the printhead of any adhesive residue or dust.
• Platen Roller Cleaning: Some manufacturers recommend specific cleaning swabs (like Honeywell AE26034 for Honeywell printers) and advise against isopropyl alcohol on the linerless platen roller as it can damage the finish. Gently remove any labels stuck to the roller by hand.
• Cutter Cleaning (if applicable): If your printer has a cutter, clean the blade regularly using a swab. Some manufacturers recommend lubricating the cutter blade with a specific silicone or PTFE oil after cleaning to prevent jamming.
• General Cleaning: Keep the printer interior free of dust and label debris.
• Follow the Manual: Always refer to your Toshiba Linerless Label Printer's user manual for specific cleaning and maintenance instructions.

Q: What should I do if the labels are sticking to the platen roller of my Toshiba Linerless Label Printer?

A: Label sticking can occur due to adhesive buildup. Try the following:

• Clean the Platen Roller: Gently clean the platen roller using a recommended cleaning swab. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the roller's non-stick surface.
• Use Recommended Labels: Ensure you are using Toshiba-approved or compatible linerless labels. Incorrect labels may have excessive adhesive.
• Adjust Print Settings: High print darkness or heat settings can sometimes increase adhesive tackiness. Try slightly reducing these settings.
• Lower Duty Cycle: High-volume continuous printing can increase adhesive buildup. If possible, allow the printer to cool down periodically.
• Advance Media: When not printing for an extended period, advance the media beyond the tear bar and raise the printhead to prevent prolonged contact.

Q: What causes poor print quality on my Toshiba Linerless Label Printer?

A: Several factors can affect print quality:

• Dirty Printhead: Clean the printhead as described in the maintenance FAQ.
• Incorrect Heat/Darkness Settings: Linerless labels often require higher heat settings than standard direct thermal labels. Adjust the density/darkness settings in your printer driver or software.
• Incompatible Labels: Ensure you are using the correct type and quality of linerless labels recommended for your printer.
• Worn Printhead: If cleaning doesn't help, the printhead may be worn out and need replacement.
• Slow Print Speed: Sometimes, reducing the print speed can improve print sharpness.

Q: Can I use third-party linerless labels with my Toshiba printer?

A: While you may be able to use third-party linerless labels, it's generally recommended to use Toshiba-certified labels. These labels are specifically tested and designed to work optimally with Toshiba printers, ensuring print quality, minimizing adhesive buildup, and maximizing printhead life. Using non-certified labels may lead to performance issues or damage to the printer.

Q: Where can I buy Toshiba Linerless Labels and cleaning supplies?

A: You can purchase genuine Toshiba Linerless Labels and recommended cleaning supplies from authorized Toshiba resellers and distributors. Check the Toshiba TEC website or your printer's documentation for a list of authorized suppliers in your region.

Q: What should I do if my Toshiba Linerless Label Printer is jamming?

A: Jams in linerless printers can be caused by:

• Adhesive Buildup: Clean the printhead, platen roller, and cutter (if present) thoroughly.
• Incorrect Label Loading: Ensure the label roll is loaded correctly and the media guides are properly adjusted.
• Damaged Labels: Using damaged or poorly wound label rolls can lead to jams.
• Obstructions: Check for any small pieces of label or debris in the paper path.
• Cutter Issues: If the printer has a cutter, ensure it is clean and moving freely. Lubricate if recommended.
• Consult the Manual: Refer to your printer's troubleshooting section for specific jam-clearing instructions.
