✦
Baud: 9600
✦
Word Length: 8-bit data frame
✦
Stop Bits: 1-stop bit
✦
Parity: none
✦
Flow Control: DTR
To change the printer’s communications values, see your
System Administrator or the MPCL II Programmer’s Manual.
Printing in On-Demand Mode ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
In On-demand mode, the printer prints one label at a time.
After the first label prints, the printer waits for you to remove
the label before it prints the next label. For On-demand
printing, your labels must be loaded in peel mode.
On-demand mode is the default mode for the printer (the LED
is solid green). If the LED is solid amber, the printer is in
Continuous mode. To switch to On-demand mode, ask your
System Administrator to re-configure the printer.
To print labels on demand:
n
Use only paper labels in peel mode.
1. Load the labels for peel mode. See Chapter 2, "Loading
Supplies."
2. Make sure the host has downloaded a print job. See the
MPCL II Programmer’s Manual for more information. After
the print job is downloaded, the LED rapidly blinks green
(1/4 sec) to indicate the printer is ready to print.
3. Press the trigger to print the label.
4. After each label prints, remove it.
