OPERATOR PANEL

The M-84PRO Operator Panel consists of five LED indicators, two momentary contact switches, three DIP switches, four adjustment potentiometers and one LCD Display. All of these are accessible from the front of the printer. They are used to set the printer operating parameters and to indicate the status of the printer to the operator. After you power on the printer, familiarize yourself with the keys and indicators as it will help you understand the configuration process.

Troubleshooting PIN ASSIGNMENTSX-ON/X-OFF FLOW CONTROL Ready/Busy is the hardware flow control method for the serial interface on the M-84PRO printers. By raising/lowering the voltage level on Pin 20 of the RS232C port, the printer notifies the host when it is ready to receive data. Pin 4 RTS and pin 20 DTR are the important signals on the printer for this method of flow control. The host must be capable of supporting this flow control method for it to function properlyCABLE REQUIREMENTS READY/BUSY FLOW CONTROL DATA STREAMSBI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS USB INTERFACELOCAL AREA NETWORK LAN OPTIONAL INTERFACE GENERAL SPECIFICATIONSENQUIRE ENQ CANCEL CANENQUIRE/ACK/NAK PRINT JOBPRINT STOP DLE PRINT START DC1ERROR HANDLING SECTION OPTIONAL ACCESSORIESINSTALLATION PCMCIA MEMORY CARDS DESCRIPTIONPLUG-IN INTERFACE MODULES CUTTER OPERATOR SETUPGENERAL OPERATION OPERATOR SETUP LABEL DISPENSE OPTIONGENERAL OPERATION INSTALLATION LABEL REWINDERREMOVING AND UNWINDING THE ROLL 3.
