MVP Series Product Guide - 9 - Printer Overview
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:
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 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-Off mode 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-Off mode, 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.
