Unit 4: Printer Configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOVE MODE (TABLE 4-6)

 

 

 

 

 

MENU

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the first menu screen of the Motion (Move) Mode. This mode allows the print feed method to be

 

 

 

 

determined - Continuous or Tear-Off.

 

 

 

 

 

MOVE MODE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This screen allows the mode to be selected. If Continuous is selected, printing of labels occur

 

 

 

 

without pause for application.

 

 

 

 

 

MOVE MODE

 

 

 

 

 

If Tear is selected, printing will pause for each subsequent label until the previously printed label

has been removed for application.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows the pitch sensor to be enabled or disabled as preferred if continuous printing has been

 

 

 

 

selected. This option is not available for tear-off printing.

HISTORY CONTROL MODE (TABLE 4-7)

 

 

 

 

 

MENU

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When enabled, the History Control Mode uses the printer’s recent operational history

 

 

 

 

as a way to control the heating temperature of head elements when printing the next

label. This is performed by using previous print activity as way to automatically

extrapolate the electricity required to reach the temperature needed and supplying only

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

amount.

 

 

 

 

Conversely, the Firmware applies electricity to the print head to heat its print elements

 

 

 

 

based on the assumption that the print head is cool and freshly powered on. However,

 

 

 

 

after a few print cycles, the print head retains heat from previous print activity and

 

 

 

 

requires time to cool down. If the Firmware continues to assume the print head has

 

 

 

 

cooled down to ambient temperature instantly after every print cycle, then the electricity

 

 

 

 

it applies to the print head would theoretically be excessive and result in overheating of

 

 

 

 

the ribbon.

 

 

 

 

Use the keys of the printer’s operator panel to select and enter the required options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is a display screen that informs when enabling/disabling has been completed.

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initialization is automatic when the proper keys and switches are activated. This is the

 

 

 

 

only screen that will appear and will indicate that non-standard protocol code to be
