PRINTER CONFIGURATION
PRINTER CONFIGURATIONPRINTER CONFIGURATION
PRINTER CONFIGURATION
The CX Series printers are different from other SATO models in that they do
not use DIP switches for printer configuration. Instead, all printer configura-
tion is done via software commands. The parameters that can be configured
are:
❒ Sensor Calibration
❒ Protocol Codes
❒ Print Darkness Range
❒ Sensor Type
❒ RS232 Parameters
❒ Label Tear-Off Position
❒ Back-feed Enable/Disable
Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a
Test Label can be printed that lists the active settings in the printer. This Test
Label lists all of the information a user needs to ascertain the printer configu-
ration. Test Labels can be printed out by sending a command via software
(See page 102) or by using the FEED and On-LINE/Off-Line Indicator buttons
on the control panel (see the CX Series User’s Guide).
