ADVANCED MODE (TABLE 4-3)

 

 

 

 

 

MENU

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu sets a value that when exceeded by the output of the media sensor, is recognized by

 

 

 

the printer as a gap or eye-mark. When Auto or Manual Paper Calibrate is performed, the value

 

 

 

displayed is equal to the gap/eye-mark threshold value set by this procedure. If running the

 

 

 

procedure does not provide a reliable top-of-form detection (e.g., when using unusual media), the

 

 

 

 

Gap/Mark Thresh

 

 

 

Gap/Mark Thresh value can be manually set to th desired value.

 

XXX*

 

 

 

The factory default is 171 with a range of 000 to 255.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If the Gap/Mark Sensor (in ADVANCED MODE) is set for gap sensing, the factory default is

 

 

 

140. The factory default is 75 for eye-mark sensing.

 

 

 

This menu allows selection of a value that when exceeded by the output of the media sensor, is

 

 

 

recognized by the printer as a paper-out condition. When Auto or Manualcalibrate is performed,

 

 

 

the value displayed is equal to the paer-out threshold value set by this procedure. If running this

 

 

 

procedure does not provide a reliable paper-out detection (e.g., when using non-standard media),

 

Paper Out Thresh

 

 

 

the Paper Out Thres value can be manually set to the desired value.

 

XXX*

 

 

 

The factory default is 171 with a range of 000 to 255.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If the Gap/Mark Sensor (in ADVANCED MODE) is set for gap sensing, the factory default is

 

 

 

160. The factory default is 150 for eye-mark sensing.

 

 

 

This menu provides another method of improving the printer’s media sensing and is only used

 

 

 

when Auto Calibrate has failed or the Gap/Mark Threshold or Paper Out Threshold values

 

 

 

 

SENSOR SETUP

 

 

 

derived from Auto Calibrate do not improve the media sensors’ gap or eye-mark sensing

 

Run Manual Cal

 

 

 

capability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the final stage of the Run Manual Cal process. The printer uses the statistically derived values,

 

 

 

advances media, stops at the top-of-form position, and momentarily displays the Sensed

 

 

 

 

REMOVE MEDIA

 

 

 

Distance. When complete, the Gap/Mark threshold, Paper Out Threshold, and the Sensed

 

Press Enter

 

 

 

Distance values the printer will use is changed. These value changes take effect immediately

 

 

 

within the current configuration menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu prompts the operator to manually insert just the liner (paper backing) for Gap sensing,

 

 

 

or the black bar (eye-mark) for Mark sensing. Ensure that either is underneath sensor prior to

 

 

 

 

LOAD LINER

 

 

 

pressing the ENTER key of the preinter’s operator panel.

 

Press Enter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu prompts the operator to manually insert both the liner (paper backing) with label for

 

 

 

Gap sensing, or the black bar (eye-mark) with label for Mark sensing. Ensure that either is

 

 

 

 

LOAD MEDIA

 

 

 

underneath sensor prior to pressing the ENTER key of the preinter’s operator panel.

 

Press Enter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the first menu screen of a sub-menu set within Sensor Setup of the ADVANCED MODE. The

 

 

 

sub-menu to follow determines if the printer will perform a self-test and automatic calibration

 

 

 

 

SENSOR SETUP

 

 

 

when the printer is powered on.

 

Pwr Up Auto-Cal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows determination of whether the printer will perform a self-test and automatic calibration when

 

 

 

the printer is powered on. If enabled, once the automatic calibration is complete, the printer will

 

 

 

momentarily display the determined Sensed Distance.

 

Pwr Up Auto-Cal

 

 

Enable*

 

Enable - factory default. Automatic calibration will be performed at power up initialization.

 

 

 

Disable - automatic calibration will not be performed upon initialization.
