3.4.2 Set Printer Mode
This function sets the operating modes of the printer. Press Enter function key to enter the
PRINTER MODE sub-menu. Press Scroll function key to scroll through the various items of this
function:
- TEAR OFF MODE*: this item tells the printer, that the tear-off bar is installed. The printed
labels will be torn off manually.
- CUTTING MODE: this item selects the label cut mode. It enables the optional. When the cutter
is installed, you should confirm that it has been enabled: if not, you must enable it, otherwise it
will not work. If the cutter has not been mounted but has been enabled, the machine will switch
to check; if it has been installed but not enabled, the cutter does not operate and the machine
prints without cutting.
- PEEL OFF MODE: this item selects the label peel-off mode. It enables the rewinder and the
present sensor.
- REWINDER MODE: this item enables the rewinder. The printed labels are thus rolled up.
- APPLICATOR MODE: this item provides the connection to an applicator. It enables the paper
rewinder and the present sensor (a special sensor mounted on the tear bar assembly/peel-off
system that detects the presence of a printed label).
3.4.3 Paper Sensor Mode
The printer is equipped with a paper sensor which is necessary for perfect alignment of the paper
under the head. This function enables this paper sensor and can operate in three different function
modes: in transmission mode, in reflection mode or in continuous mode.
Press Enter function key to enter the PAPER SENSOR MODE sub-menu. Press Scroll function key
to scroll through the various items of this function:
- TRANSMISSIVE*: this item enables the transmission mode and must be used when the labels
are marked off by a gap or a hole or more generally when there is an area with a net difference of
support transparency between one label and the other.
- REFLECTIVE: this item enables the reflection mode and must be used when the support is
completely opaque and there is a black tick mark on the back of the support itself.
- CONTINUOUS : this item disables the paper sensor and allows the printer to print a label of any
length.
3.4.4 Print Method Mode
Press Enter function key to enter the PRINT METHOD MODE sub-menu. Press Scroll function key
to scroll through the various items of this function:
- DIRECT THERMAL*: the direct thermal refers to printing directly on thermal paper. In this
case, the heat generated by the head alters the paper, which turns black in correspondence to the
printed characters without the need for any ribbon.
- THERMAL TRANSFER: the thermal transfer method is performed with a special ribbon, which
through the heat generated by the intelligent print head, applies the ink on the paper during
printing.
