4.1.6. How to Set the Print Options

1.Click on the General Settings link under Print, and the Print General Settings screen will appear (see Figure 4-6).

2.Select the Minute Format from the dropdown menu (default = 60th). An example of this would be: if the actual time is 16:30 (4:30PM), 10th = 16.5, 20th = 16.50, 60th = 16:30, and 100th = 16.50.

Figure 4-6. Print General Settings.

3.Select the Dual Print, On or Off. This determines whether you print one line (Line 1) or both lines (Line 1 & Line 2). When Dual Print is turned On (default = Off), and the print method is set to Paper Detect Only (P) (see Figure 2-17) two different print styles (lines) can be printed sequentially, without having to push the auxiliary Symbol Print Bar.

The following is an example for a custom print style with the Dual Print feature turned On to show the sequence for Line 1 & Line 2 imprints:

First imprint (Line 1) 2008/09/22 00:51 13s Second imprint (Line 2) DESK 1234

4.Enter a value, in seconds, for the dual print to timeout (default = 10 seconds). For example, when set to 10, the 2nd print line will not be active if more than 10 seconds have passed since the 1st line was printed. The range is 0 to 60 seconds. When zero (0) is used there is NO timeout; the 2nd line is always active.

NOTE: When Dual Print On is selected, the clock will display “L2” where the seconds/date is normally displayed. L2 will be displayed after Line 1 is printed (see the figure) to prompt you that Line 2 (L2) will be printed with the next print stamp. This prompt will remain displayed for the timeout value or until Line 2 is printed. For example, a timeout of 0 seconds would allow L2 to display until the print cycle was completed with Line 2.
