Unit 4: Operation
SATO XL400-410e Operator Manual PN 9001135A Page 4-30
PRINTING
At this point, both the printer and the operator should be ready to print labels or tags. One can
begin by commencing production or by printing a test label first. To begin production, simply use
the operator panel as directed in the Introduction unit of this manual.
TEST PRINTING
A test label is designed to assist in the identification of print problems. Refer to the
Troubleshooting unit of this manual for instructions on printing a test label. Once identifying any
print issues that may prevail, refer to the Maintenance unit for specific instructions on remedy.
RELOADING MEDIA
When replenishing the media supply with the same type and size, it’s not necessary to power the
printer off. Once properly loading the media, press the START/STOP key and the printer will
automatically feed and correctly position the media for printing.
POWERING OFF
Before powering off the printer, feed the printed labels or tags from the printer by pressing the
EJECT key while the printer is online. Any printed media that is remaining in the printer will be
ejected and cut. The unprinted media will be retracted to place the first print line under the print
head.
After the printed media has been ejected from the printer, place the printer in the offline state
before removing power. If the label/tag position is not disturbed while the power is off, the first
printable label/tag will be in the correct position when the power is reapplied. The media type
setting is retained in the printer’s memory even though power is removed. When the power is
reapplied, the first print line of the label/tag will be correctly positioned under the print head for
printing.
NOTE: If the instructions being sought are not present in the
Maintenance unit, those instructions have been deemed too
complex for the operator to perform. Contact your service
representative for assistance.
NOTE: The eject operation may be controlled via software
commands from the host, as well as, locally.
