After correctly configuring the communication port (usually 9600,8N1), connect the

printer to the serial port of the PC with the cable supplied with the LEPTONS LW-DOS

or WinLw software package (this manual also contains the specifications for this cable)

when the printer is switched on the following text will appear on the screen and which

gives the configuration of the printer.

The printer should be witched off and then on again for it to send its configuration to the

PC or alternatively send the /U00 command. Every time that the /U00 command is sent to

the printer it responds by sending its own configuration.

The picture above shows the values read by the various sensors. To ensure that the read-

ings give useful information, the sensors should always be surrounded by the same envi-

ronment. If, for example, the values for the paper and backing paper are required for the

selected sensor, the printhead should be raised and the backing paper positioned by the

selected sensor. To make this easier, one or two labels should be removed from the back-

ing paper to have a larger area of the backing paper exposed which then makes it easier to

position it by the sensor. The /U00 command should then be sent to the printer and the

value read. Let us assume that the value is 200. Now position the label by the label sensor

and, ensuring that the printhead is still raised, the /U00 command is sent to the printer.

The value, which is in the same position as before, should now be read for the label sen-

sor. This time the value will be lower – in the region of 060. In this example the value of

the label gap should be in between these values i.e. (200-60)/2 +60 =130.This value is

then recorded in the first position for the command /$>P130……………… The same op-

eration is repeated for the end paper and end ribbon sensors.
