PRINTER CONFIGURATION
The CX Series printers are different from other SATO models in that they do
not use DIP switches for printer configuration. Instead, all printer configura-
tion is done via software commands. The parameters that can be configured
are:
❒ Sensor Calibration
❒ Protocol Codes
❒ Print Darkness Range
❒ Sensor Type
❒ RS232 Parameters
❒ Label Tear-Off Position
❒ Back-feed Enable/Disable
Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a
Test Label can be printed that lists the active settings in the printer. This Test
Label lists all of the information a user needs to ascertain the printer configu-
ration. Test Labels can be printed out by sending a command via software
(See page 102) or by using the FEED and On-LINE/Off-Line Indicator buttons
on the control panel (see the CX Series User’s Guide).
