Control Panel

Control Panel LCD

The control panel LCD functions differently in different printer modes.

In Operating mode, the LCD displays the printer’s status, sometimes in conjunction with a control panel light (see Control Panel Indicator Lights on page 23).

In Pause mode, the printer stops printing temporarily.

In Setup mode, you can use the control panel LCD to view or modify printer parameters (see Control Panel Parameters on page 71).

In Error mode, the LCD may display an alert or error message (see LCD Error Messages on page 147).

PAUSE

 

Stops and restarts the printing process or removes error messages and

 

 

clears the LCD.

 

 

• If the printer is idle, it enters Pause mode immediately.

 

 

• If the printer is printing, the label is completed before the printer pauses.

 

 

 

FEED

 

Advances a blank label.

 

 

• If the printer is idle or paused, the label is fed immediately.

 

 

• If the printer is printing, the label is fed after printing finishes.

 

 

 

CANCEL

 

CANCEL functions only in Pause mode. Pressing CANCEL once has these

 

 

effects:

 

 

• Cancels the label format that is currently printing.

 

 

• If no label format is printing, the next one to be printed is canceled.

 

 

• If no label formats are waiting to be printed, CANCEL is ignored.

 

 

To clear the printer’s entire label format memory, press and hold CANCEL.

 

 

When the formats are cleared, the DATA light turns off.

 

 

 

CALIBRATE

 

Calibrates the printer for the following:

 

 

• Media length

 

 

• Media type (continuous or non-continuous)

 

 

• Print mode (direct thermal or thermal transfer)

 

 

• Sensor values

 

 

For more information on calibration, see Calibrate the Printer on page 56.
