START PRINT

Start Print Signal

SIG

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.

 

• 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. The printer must be returned

 

to its designated setting for it to work properly.

 

• Press the right or left oval to display other choices.

 

Default: Pulse Mode

 

Selections: Pulse Mode, Level Mode

RESYNCH MODE

Resynch 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 Pause Mode, displays the message Error Condition Feed Label , flashes the ERROR light, and asserts the Service Required signal (pin 10 on the Applicator Interface Connector).

To resynch the media to the top of the label in Error Mode, press PAUSE to exit Pause Mode. The ERROR light stops flashing, and the Service Required signal is deactivated. The action of the printer is determined by the Head Close configuration selection (see Head Close on page 54).

•Press the right or left oval to toggle between choices. Default: Feed Mode

Selections: Feed Mode, Error Mode
