Communication Values
In order for your printer to communicate with your host, you
must make sure the communication values are set to the same
values. The default values shipped with the printer are:
✦ Baud: 9600
✦ Word Length: 8-bit data frame
✦ Stop Bits: 1-stop bit
✦ Parity: none
✦ Flow Control: DTR
To change the printer’s communications values, see your
System Administrator or the MPCL II Programmer’s Manual.
Printing in On-Demand Mode ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
In On-demand mode, the printer prints one label at a time.
After the first label prints, the printer waits for you to remove
the label before it prints the next label. For On-demand
printing, your labels must be loaded in peel mode.
On-demand mode is the default mode for the printer (the LED
is solid green). If the LED is solid amber, the printer is in
Continuous mode. To switch to On-demand mode, ask your
System Administrator to re-configure the printer.
To print labels on demand:

Use only paper labels in peel mode.
1. Load the labels for peel mode. See Chapter 2, "Loading
Supplies."
2. Make sure the host has downloaded a print job. See the
MPCL II Programmer’s Manual for more information. After
the print job is downloaded, the LED rapidly blinks green
(1/4 sec) to indicate the printer is ready to print.
3. Press the trigger to print the label.
4. After each label prints, remove it.
