LCD DISPLAY

 

DEFINITION

 

 

 

EYE

[X.XXV]

EYE - When setting the “eye” threshold, the voltage must be measured with

INPUT

[X.XV]

nothing but the label under the sensor and then again with the printed “eye”

 

 

mark under the sensor. The formula for this is:

 

 

(High Voltage Level + Low Voltage Level) x 0.5 = Start Value

 

 

1.

Insert a label into the sensor and close the label holder. Make sure the

 

 

 

printed “eye” mark is not under the sensor. Record the voltage shown on

 

 

 

the top line of the LCD panel. This line should have the message “EYE”

 

 

 

on the top line (DIP switch DSW2-2 = ON).

 

 

2.

Pull the label forward until the “eye” mark is positioned under the sensor

 

 

 

(the voltage reading should be at its highest point). Record the voltage

 

 

 

shown on the top line of the LCD panel. The voltage ranges measured

 

 

 

should be within the following ranges:

 

 

Eye-Mark = 2.5V to 3.5V

 

 

Label Only = Less than 1.0V

 

 

If the measured values are outside this range, it may be difficult finding a value

 

 

that will work properly under all conditions. If this is the case, a higher quality

 

 

label may be needed to get adequate performance.

 

 

3.

Calculate the starting point voltage using the formula.

 

 

4.

Use the LINE and FEED keys to step the counter to the desired setting.

 

 

 

The reading will advance to a setting of 4.9 (the maximum voltage). If a

 

 

 

value of “0.0” is set, the printer will automatically set the level each time

 

 

 

the printer is powered on with labels loaded or the head is closed.

 

 

5.

Once the setting is correct, pressing the ENTER key will accept the

 

 

 

setting and advance to the next display.

AUTO ONLINE FEED

This selection specifies whether or not the printer will feed a label when it is

YES

NO

placed in the On-Line mode.

 

 

1.

Use the LINE key to step the cursor to desired option. If Yes is selected,

 

 

 

the printer will feed a blank label anytime it enters the Online mode.

 

 

2.

Press the FEED key to select the option and advance to the next display.

 

 

FEED ON ERROR

This selection specifies whether or not the printer will feed a label when an

YES

NO

error condition is cleared.

 

 

1.

Use the LINE key to step the cursor to desired option. If Yes is selected,

 

 

 

the printer will feed a blank label anytime an error condition is cleared.

 

 

2.

Press the FEED key to select the option and advance to the next display.

 

 

REPRINT W/FEED

Specifies whether or not the printer will print the last printed label stored in

YES

NO

memory when the FEED key is pressed in the Normal Online mode.

 

 

1.

Use the LINE key to step the cursor to desired option. If Yes is selected,

 

 

 

the printer will reprint the last label when the FEED key is pressed. If the

 

 

 

printer is off-line, pressing the FEED key will feed a blank label.

 

 

2.

Press the FEED key to select the option and advance to the next display

 

 

FORWARD/BACKFEED

This display will only appear if Backfeed is enabled (DSW3-4 = OFF). The

DISTANCE

DEFAULT

maximum backfeed distance is 255 mm.

 

 

1.

Use the LINE key to select either the Default or the Manual option.

 

 

2.

Press the FEED key to select the option and advance to the next display
