SATO CL612VA, CL608VA manual Printer Adjustments

Section 2. Installation and Configuration

Default Settings

Switch Selections - All switches are placed in the Off position (default) for shipping. This will result in the following operating configuration:

Communications:(1)	8 data bits, no parity, 1 Stop bit, 9600 Baud
Protocol:(1)	Ready/Busy	(1) Active only if an RS232
Sensor:	Gap Sensor
Receive Buffer:	Single Job	Interface Card is installed.
Mode:	Batch/continuous
Label Sensor:	Sensor Used
Backfeed:	Disabled
External Signals:	Disabled

Software Default Settings - The printer stores the software settings upon receipt and uses them until they are again changed by receipt of a command containing a new setting. These settings are stored in non-volatile RAM and are not affected by powering the printer off. The printer may be reset to use the default software settings by depressing the LINE and FEED keys simultaneously while powering the printer on. This will result in the following default configuration:

	CL608 and CL612	CL408 and CL412
Print Darkness	“2”	“3”
Print Speed	6 in. per sec.	4 in. per sec.
Print Reference	Vertical = 0001, Horizontal = 0001
Zero	Slash
Auto On Line	Enabled

Once the default operation is completed, a “SATO DEFAULT COMPLETED” message will be displayed on the LCD panel or a single “beep” will be heard if the printer does not have an LCD panel. The printer should be powered off while this message is being displayed (or after the “beep” is heard. This saves the default settings in the EEPROM where they will be automatically loaded the next time the printer is powered on.

PRINTER ADJUSTMENTS

The LCD Panel is used in conjunction with the LINE and FEED switches by the operator to manually enter printer configuration settings. Many of the settings can also be controlled via software commands and in the case of conflict between software and control panel settings, the printer will always use the last valid setting. If you load a label job that includes software settings and then enter a new setting via the Operation Panel, the manually set values will be used by the printer. If you set the values manually and then download a job with software settings, the software settings will be used.
