User’s Manual—SNAP™ 500 Printer 59
8.0 Virtual Control Panel
PCMate Platinum has the capability of controlling the AVERY DENNISON
SNAP 500 printer and making adjustments right on the PC.
When a AVERY DENNISON SNAP 500 printer is connected to PCMate Platinum
(see the PCMate Platinum manual for details about printer connections), and the
Print Module is active, a Virtual Control Panel is displayed at the bottom of the
PCMate Platinum window (see figure 21).
Figure 21. PCMate Platinum Print Module with Virtual Control Panel
If more than one printer is connected to PCMate Platinum
at one time, select the active printer using the Printer
Selection box at the left side of the Virtual Control Panel.
The Virtual Control Panel has lights and buttons that simulate the Control Panel
of the printer and work in exactly the same way. You can start and stop the
printer and monitor its status from the PC.
There is no Voice button on the Virtual Control Panel. The
voice messages are displayed in the status box.
The Printer Status boxes show the Batch ID, Quantity and printer status.
