46 User’s Manual—SNAP™ 500 Printer
The printer does not know whether the Bottom Reflective
or Contrast Sensor is installed. If you select a sensor type
that is not installed, the printer will not print properly.
4.4.7 Setting the Default Transfer Type
The transfer type specifies the type of tape and ink that is being used. For
example, transfer type 97 is 4800TWT fabric with CT1111 ink. The transfer type
tells the printer how much energy is needed to print when using that tape and
ink. See Appendix 2 for a list of available transfer types.
It is highly recommended that the transfer type be specified in the format.
However, if a transfer type is not specified in the format, the printer uses the
default transfer type.
PCMate Platinum always includes the transfer type in the
format. If you are using PCMate Platinum, you do not
need to specify a default transfer type.
The default transfer type is selected the same way as Print Speed. To change the
value on the Remote Front Panel, use the Yes and No keys to set the value, then
press the Enter key to accept it.
4.4.8 Viewing the Life Counts
The AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer maintains a count of the total
number of labels printed, and the total number of inches of material. Also, there
is a resettable label counter.
In the Virtual Control Panel, the Life Counts can be found in the Life
Counts/Software Version tab. To reset the resettable label counter, click on the
Reset button.
On the Remote Front Panel, the life counts are found under the Life
Counts/Version menu. When displaying the resettable counter, press the Enter
key to reset the counter.
