The three printer systems
All three label-printing systems use Microsoft Windows CE

as the
basis for the operating system and application. As the user, most of the
Windows CE operating system will be invisible to you. You don’t need to
use your computer skills to operate this printing system.
Hint! You do have the option to connect to a desktop computer to use
the system as a peripheral printer or to manage and store files.
See CHAPTER 12: Connecting to a PC, beginning on page
12-1, for information.
The three systems are:
Monocolor system
The base system, which produces monochrome labels only.
Hint! The definition of monochrome in this context is not necessarily
black, white, and shades of gray as you may see on a black-and-
white television screen. In this system, monochrome means a
single color, plus shades of that color, plus white. In the
Monocolor system, the single color is determined by the color of
the ribbon you have installed.
The Monocolor system automatically shears labels to the correct
length after printing, but does not have the ability to produce cut-
outs and cut-arounds.
The system is designed to run as a standalone system without
support from a PC, but you can attach a PC to access special file
management features. The Monocolor system LCD screen displays in
grayscale only, like a black and white television.
Multicolor system
The base system, plus color printing capability. The Multicolor
system is provided with a color LCD display, and can take full
advantage of spot and process color printing supplies available. See
CHAPTER 8: Applying Color, beginning on page 8-1, for
information about using color.
