New 9406 Features

9406 Operator's Handbook

With the latest release of the software, the 9406 printer:

∙bases the dispense mechanism on the supply type and dispense mode (instead of only dispense mode). For example, an indexed supply in on-demand mode moves the label over the peel bar. A non-indexed supply in on-demand mode delivers the label under the tear bar. The printer memorizes the last dispense distance so that it can find the top of form position if you change the dispense mode between labels.

∙handles non-indexed supplies the same way as indexed supplies. For example, you do not need to treat no-print zones and label lengths as variables. They are fixed, no matter what supply you use.

∙displays error messages for five seconds. This change does not affect hard-coded messages or messages that require operator response.

∙allows you to suspend a batch. After suspending it, you can cancel it or alter the printer setup and resume printing.

∙creates Swedish characters that appear on the same base line as English characters (instead of below the base line).

∙offers a new dot shifting algorithm, which shifts the bar code three dots on the left side and three dots on the right side of the bad dot element. After six shifts, if the dark modules of the barcode are not completely out of the bad dot elements, the printer:

1.Prints a label replacing the bar code with a solid line

.156 inches tall.

2.Cancels the batch.

3.Beeps and displays "Bad Dot On Bars."

4.Waits for the operator to acknowledge the error by pressing the E key.
