Printer Operation

Operator Interface

The Z Series™ family of printers features either a standard or deluxe front panel. The deluxe front panel features a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that provides both printer status information and configuration option menus. This section of the user’s guide presents information which is common to both printer front panels. Refer to Figures 8 and 9 to locate the keys and LEDs discussed in this section.

Front Panel Keys

Feed Key

The FEED key forces the printer to feed one blank label. If you press the FEED key while the printer is idle or paused, a blank label is fed immediately. If you press the FEED key while the printer is printing, one blank label is fed after the completion of the current batch of labels. Once the blank label has been fed, pressing the FEED key again will feed a second label.

Pause Key

The PAUSE key stops and restarts the printing process. The first time you press the PAUSE key, any partially printed label is completed; then the printing process is stopped. If the printer is idle when you press the PAUSE key, no new print requests are accepted. Press the PAUSE key a second time to resume the printing process.

Cancel Key

The CANCEL key only functions when the printer is paused. When you press the CANCEL key, the label format that is currently printing is canceled. If no label format is printing, then the next one to be printed is canceled. If there are no label formats stored in the printer and waiting to be printed, the CANCEL key is ignored.

If you press the CANCEL key for an extended period of time (more than 3 seconds) the printer performs a “cancel all formats” operation. The printer discards all of the label format data it has received, and returns to the idle state.
