Press Display Shows Action/Explanation
START PRINT SIG
Start Print Signal: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL
key to display other choices.
Default: Pulse Mode
Selections: Pulse Mode, Level Mode
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. Please
make a note of it! While other choices are valid, the
printer must be returned to its designated setting in
order for it to work properly.
RESYNCH MODE
Resynch Mode: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL key
to display other choices.
Default: Feed Mode
Selections: Feed Mode, Error 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 the PAUSE mode, displays the message
“Error Condition Feed Label”, flashes the ERROR LED, and
asserts the “Service Required” signal (pin 10 on the Applicator
Interface Connector).
To resynch the media to the top of the label in this mode, press
the PAUSE key to exit the PAUSE state. The ERROR LED
stops flashing and the “Service Required” signal is deactivated.
The action of the printer is determined by the “Head Close”
configuration selection:
“Calibration” — determines the length of the label.
“Feed” — feeds the labels to the first registration point.
“Length” — used in continuous mode to feed the last stored
label length.
“No Motion” — the media does not move. The user must
press the FEED key to cause the printer to resynch to the
start of the next label.
