Label Taken Sensor
The Label Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor that enables the printer’s firmware to detect if the latest printed label, ticket, tag, etc. has been removed before printing another copy. The LTS can be enabled or disabled using the instructions LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively in Intermec Fingerprint and the Intermec Direct Protocol.
The LTS cannot be used in connection with a paper cutter.
Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock circuit (RTC) relieves the operator or the host from having to set the clock/calendar using the Intermec Fingerprint instructions DATE$ and TIME$ after each power up. The RTC has its own backup battery backup that will last 10 years or more.
CompactFlash Protection Plate
The protection plate encloses an inserted CompactFlash card and makes it more difficult to steal. See Chapter 3 for illustration.
Special Printheads
As standard, the printer is fitted with an 8 dots/mm (203.2 dots/inch) thermal printhead. There are also a number of optional printheads for special applications:
