Printing Controls
Setting the Start Print Signal
This parameter determines how the printer will react to the Start Print Signal input on pin 3 of the applicator interface connector at the rear of the printer.
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.
PULSE MODE — A label will print when the signal transitions from HIGH to LOW.
LEVEL MODE — Labels will print as long as the signal is asserted LOW.

FEED MODE | — If the label top is not where expected, the printer will feed a blank label to find |
| the label top position. |
ERROR MODE — If the label top is not where expected, the printer will stop, enter the PAUSED mode, display the message “Error Condition Feed Label”, flash the ERROR LED, and assert the “Service Required” signal (pin 10 on the Applicator Interface Connector).
To resync the media to the top of the label in this mode, the user must press the PAUSE key to exit the PAUSED state. The ERROR LED will then stop flashing and the “Service Required” signal will be
•“Calibration” – the printer feeds labels and recalibrates the media sensors.
•“Feed” – the printer feeds the labels to the next web.
•“Length” – the printer feeds labels and calculates the label length.
•“No Motion” – the media does not move. The user must press the FEED key to cause the printer to resync to the start of the next label.
