46 User’s Manual—SNAP™ 700 Printer
The available selections are:
• Format – use the sense mark type specified in the format
• Top Hole Sensor, Bottom Reflective, Contrast – selects the sensor type
• Disabled – ignores the sense mark. This is useful when designing a
format using blank stock to avoid wasting the more expensive pre-
printed stock.
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 stock 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 stock 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.
4.4.8 Viewing the Life Counts
The SNAP 700 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.
