Configuration and Calibration

OFF - The verifier port is off.

1ERR — Label reprinted if verifier detects an error. If the bar code is near the upper edge of the label, the label will feed out far enough to be verified and then backfeed to allow the next label to be printed and verified.

2 VER-THRUPUT— Allows for the greatest throughput but may not indicate a verification error immediately upon detection. May print from one to three labels before an error is recognized and printing stops.

Setting the Applicator Port

The Applicator Port is used to determine how the printer will interface with the applicator.

This is set by the applicator manufacturer and should not be changed unless the factory defaults have been reloaded. Please make a note of it! While other choices are valid, the printer must be returned to its designated setting in order for it to work properly.

Refer to Table 5 in “Appendix B” for more applicator cable information.

OFF — Applicator interface is off.

MODE 1 — Asserts the END PRINT signal LOW while the printer is moving the label forward. MODE 2 — Asserts the END PRINT signal HIGH while the printer is moving the label forward.

MODE 3 — Asserts the END PRINT signal LOW for 20 milliseconds when a label has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during continuous printing modes.

MODE 4 — Asserts the END PRINT signal HIGH for 20 milliseconds when a label has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during continuous printing modes.
