PRINTER CONFIGURATION

The CX Series printers are different from other SATO models in that they do not use DIP switches for printer configuration. Instead, all printer configura- tion is done via software commands. The parameters that can be configured are:

Sensor Calibration

Protocol Codes

Print Darkness Range

Sensor Type

RS232 Parameters

Label Tear-Off Position

Back-feed Enable/Disable

Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a Test Label can be printed that lists the active settings in the printer. This Test Label lists all of the information a user needs to ascertain the printer configu- ration. Test Labels can be printed out by sending a command via software (See page 102) or by using the FEED and On-LINE/Off-Line Indicator buttons on the control panel (see the CX Series User’s Guide).
