Head Check Selection (DSW2-3)– When selected, the printer will check for head elements that are electrically malfunctioning.

Hex Dump Selection (DSW2-4) – Selects Hex Dump mode.

Receive Buffer Selection (DSW2-5)– Selects the operating mode of the receive buffer.

Firmware Download (DSW2-6)– Places the printer in the Firmware Download mode for downloading new firmware into the flash ROM.

Protocol Code Selection (DSW2-7)– Selects the command codes used for protocol control.

Status Select (DSW2-8)– For emulating earlier series software commands. Should be used only if problems are encountered when using existing software. This switch will also affect the settings selected by DSW1-7 and DSW1-8.

Backfeed Sequence (DSW3-1,DSW3-2)– Backfeed is used to correctly position the label for application and then retract the next label to the proper print position. This operation can be performed immediately after a label is printed and used, or immediately prior to the printing of the next label.

Label Sensor Selection (DSW3-3)– Enables or disables the Label Sensor. If the Sensor is enabled, it will detect the edge of the label and position it automatically. If it is disabled, the positioning must be under software control using Line Feed commands.

Back-Feed Selection (DSW3-4)– When Back-Feed is enabled, the printer will position the last printed label for dispensing and retract it before printing the next label. The amount of backfeed offset is adjustable.

EXT Print Start Signal Selection (DSW3-5) – Allows an external device to initiate a label print for synchronisation with the applicator. When DSW3-5 is On, the unit is in the Continuous print mode, Backfeed is disabled and External Signals are ignored.

External Signal Type Selection (DSW3-6, DSW3-7) – Both the polarity and signal type (level or pulse) of the external print synchronising signal can be selected.

Repeat Print via External Signal (DSW3-8) – Allows the applicator to reprint the current label in the print buffer.

Label Stock Loading

The M-10e has an automatic media loading feature, making it extremely easy to load.

1.Select the proper media sensing method using the DIP switches on the Configuration Panel. The printer comes from the factory set up for label gap detection (DS2-2 and DS3-3 both in the Off position). If Eye- Mark labels are to be used, DS2-2 should be placed in the On position.

2.Apply power to the printer.

3.Release the Print Head by pulling forward on the Head Latch Lever.

4.Check to make sure that nothing is in the media path. Remove any media that may have been left in the printer.

5.Adjust the Label Width Guides by loosening the thumbscrew and moving the guides in or out to match the media width. The guides are interlocked so that adjusting one will automatically adjust the other side to maintain a centre justified label path. Tighten the thumbscrews.

6.Note that the Green Media Loaded LED on the back panel is off.

7.Thread the media into the back of the printer between the label guides. When it is correctly positioned, the Green Media Loaded LED will be on.

8.Close the Top Cover.

9.Place the printer Online by pressing the LINE key.

10.The printer will automatically feed the media into the printer until it is correctly positioned for printing.
