Start Print Signal: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL key to display other choices.
Default: Pulse Mode
Selections: Pulse Mode, Level Mode
This parameter determines how the printer reacts to the Start Print Signal input on pin 3 of the applicator interface connector at the rear of the printer.
START PRINT SIG • In Pulse Mode, labels print when the signal transitions from HIGH to LOW.
•In Level Mode, labels print as long as the signal is asserted LOW.
CAUTION: Start Print Signal 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.
Resynch Mode: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL key to display other choices.
Default: Feed Mode
Selections: Feed Mode, Error Mode
This parameter determines how the printer reacts if the label synchronization is lost and the label top is not where expected. FEED MODE — If the label top is not where expected, the printer feeds a blank label to find the label top position. ERROR MODE — If the label top is not where expected, the printer stops, enters the PAUSE mode, displays the message “Error Condition Feed Label”, flashes the ERROR LED, and asserts the “Service Required” signal (pin 10 on the Applicator
RESYNCH MODE Interface Connector).
To resynch the media to the top of the label in this mode, press the PAUSE key to exit the PAUSE state. The ERROR LED stops flashing and the “Service Required” signal is deactivated. The action of the printer is determined by the “Head Close” configuration selection:
•“Calibration” — determines the length of the label.
•“Feed” — feeds the labels to the first registration point.
•“Length” — used in continuous mode to feed the last stored label length.
•“No Motion” — the media does not move. The user must press the FEED key to cause the printer to resynch to the start of the next label.
