MODULES

Memory available for user storage of

 

 

 

graphics, fonts and label formats. (The

 

 

 

physical presence of the respective memory

 

 

 

module must be detected to show the

 

 

 

function selections in the menu system. See

 

 

 

Appendix C for a listing of all possible

 

 

 

modules.)

 

 

PRINT DIRECTORY

Prints a label directory of selected, or of all

 

 

 

available modules, the available space on

 

 

 

these modules, the files present, and the type

 

 

 

of module and files.

 

 

PRINT FILE

The user may select from a list of available

 

 

 

files for sample printing.

 

 

FORMAT MODULE

The user may select from a list of available

 

 

 

modules for formatting – all data will be

 

 

 

erased.

 

 

DELETE FILE

The user may select from a list of available

 

 

 

files for deleting (protected modules will not

 

 

 

appear). Bytes will not be retrieved until the

 

 

 

module that contained the deleted file is

 

 

 

packed.

 

 

PACK MODULE

Packing the module removes files marked as

 

 

 

deleted and defragments existing file

 

 

 

structures to recover space.

 

 

 

 

PRESENT SENSOR

Used for on-demand label dispensing, where

 

 

 

a printed label blocking the sensor will

 

 

 

inhibit further printing until removed. (The

 

 

 

physical presence of the device must be

 

 

 

detected to show the ENABLE/DISABLE

 

 

 

selections.)

 

 

ENABLED

Enables the sensor for on-demand printing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

—DISABLED

Disables the sensor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOT INSTALLED

No Present Sensor is detected.
