THE CONFIGURATION PANEL
The Configuration Panel is accessible when you lift up the top cover.
The panel consists of an eight-position DIP switch, four adjustment potentiometers and a seven-
segment LED Error Status display. Receptacles for connecting the optional Cutter (factory
installed) are also located on this panel.
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
This is an eight-position switch used for setting the operating conditions of the printer. Switches 1
to 3 act as control for both paper handling and the loading of programs or fonts into the printer.
Switches 1–3: Paper Handling settings
These three switches select the method used for
controlling paper handling:
Continuous mode - (default mode) Does not
use the sensor for paper indexing. The paper
movement will stop after all the label data has
been printed.
Tear Off mode - Paper is fed out to the cut/tear
off position after printing is complete. Before the
next label is printed, the paper is pulled back in
to the first print line position.
Cutter mode - Enables the Cutter option if
installed.
