Update Backup Config
Most of the parameters affecting operation of the
printer, e.g., laminate station adjustments, are set up
using the printer driver, and are then saved in the
printer’s flash memory as “current configuration”.
The original factory configuration also resides in a
separate “backup” memory, allowing you to recover
the as-shipped settings. Update Backup Config
instructs the printer to replace the factory
configuration with the current configuration, but DO
NOT DO THIS CASUALLY
. On the same lines as System
Restore in Windows XP, you can re-install the backup
config by pressing PRINT, RIBBON and LAMINATE
buttons at the same time.
Upgrade Firmware: Upgrades printer’s flash
memory with replacement printer firmware
downloadable from the Zebra website.
Send Features File: The “features file” is special
software used to enable/disable UV (ultraviolet)
printing, clear passwords, and other items of a
security-sensitive nature. Contact Zebra support for
more information.
Password Protection: Not the same as ID/Code.
Password Protection blocks access to various low
level printer adjustment screens (including this one).
Check Use Password
, then enter a password of your
choice.
Sensor Data
Ribbon Panel Detect: The current reading of the
color ribbon sensor.
Panel Threshold : The current value of the
detection threshold for the color ribbon. Above this
value is termed “black”, below this value is termed
“not black”.
Ribbon Encoder Count: The number of encoder
pulses counted in one complete cycle of the color
ribbon currently installed in the printer.
Laminate Sensors: Reflective sensors that detect
the presence of laminate on the transfer rollers:
below threshold = laminate present, above threshold
= laminate absent.
Card Presence Sensor: The reflective sensor to
the right of the card hopper: High = no card, Low =
card present.
Printhead Voltage: Should be about 24V.
AC Frequency: 50 or 60 Hz
Sensor Data
Assumed AC Voltage: 110V assumed for 60 Hz.
If frequency and voltage are not correct, see
Laminate Station Adjust, TN6-5.
Printhead Temperature: Temperature ceiling
70°C (above that temperature, printing is stopped
until the head cools).
Controller Board Temperature: Should be
about 5° above ambient.
Heater Temperatures: Temperatures at the top
and bottom laminate heater cores.
Logic States: Summarizes all two-state interlocks
and photosensors - a very useful diagnostic tool.
