5.3 Tips for Specific Label Types

The Vixic E1000 supports various label types for different applications.

Print Wrap Label

Print Flag Label

Print Non-Laminated Label Tape (e.g., Fabric Iron-on)

When using non-laminated tapes like fabric iron-on, ensure "Mirror" mode is turned ON. Prepare an iron and a piece of cloth fabric for ironing. The iron temperature should be set to 160°C-180°C. Iron over the label 3-4 times, using the tip of the iron to go around the edges of the label. Wait 24 hours before washing.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Print Head

If printing quality is poor or unclear, the print head may need cleaning. Turn off the label maker and unplug the power cord. Remove the back cover, label tape, and batteries. Dip a cotton swab in a little alcohol and gently wipe the print head with an up-and-down motion. Wait until the alcohol evaporates and the print head is dry before reassembling. Do not scratch the print head with a hard object, as this can damage it and compromise printing.

6.2 Replacing the Cutter Holder

If the cutter becomes dull and the label tape cannot be cut neatly after continuous use, please replace the cutter holder. Remove the back cover and the label tape. Carefully remove the old cutter holder and install the new one. Reassemble the label maker.
