SETUP/EXIT

The SETUP/EXIT key, as its name suggests, enters and exits the configuration mode. This also allows a configuration change to be saved temporarily, permanently or a default setting may be used.

SELECT

The SELECT key toggles the INCREMENT (+) and DECREMENT (-) keys between the “scroll mode” and the “change mode”. Press once to use the (+) or (-) keys to change the value of a selection. Press again to use the (+) and (-) keys to scroll through the menu items.

For detailed instructions on how to adjust these settings or for related trouble- shooting tips, refer to the 200MVP/300MVP User’s Guide.

5.SENSORS

The following sensor types are contained within the MVP series thermal printers:

Printhead Sensor:

Checks the open/closed status of the printhead. If the printhead is open, the printhead light indicator will immediately flash, warning users of a non-print condition whereby the printhead must be closed before attempting to print.

Transmissive /

Reflective

Media

Sensors:

Tear-Off / Peel-Off Label Sensors:

Transmissive sensors recognise the see-through "gaps", “notches” or joints between labels as light is permitted to filter through these joints indicating the label’s overall length. Similarly, the reflective sensor option gauges label length via the black marks found on the media backing which reflect light back to the sensor from the label’s joint. Both sensor types enable users to print on diverse label stocks including continuous, notch, black mark, tag stock or perforated and promote the printer’s auto-calibration feature. During auto-calibration, the printer relies on such sensor readings to automatically adjust to varying label lengths promoting worry-free print capability on varying media (label) types.

Tear-Off /Peel-Off sensors enable the user to work at their own pace and preferred mode of operation during the labelling process. Peel-Offmode instructs the printer to remove the label from its backing and wait until the label is removed by the user before issuing a new label. Tear-Offmode, similarly, allows individual or groups of labels to be turn-off the printer’s tear bar by pulling it down and away against the tear bar.
