Unit 4: Printer Configuration
S8400 Series Operator Manual
4-38 PN: 9001160 (C)
Allows it to be determined if the printer will feed a label when an error condition is cleared and the
printer goes online.
This features allows the previously printed label to be reprinted when the FEED button is
pressed. Enable or disable as desired.
When Reprint function is enabled, this setting determines whether or not printer generated real
time clock fields will be updated for reprinted labels.
Allows the establishment of a specific distance the media will be advanced and retracted in
addition to distance set by the OFFSET potentiometer on the operator panel. If using thermal
transfer for printing, set the feed distance less than 30mm to avoid detection of the ribbon end by
accident.
Allows selection of output mode options. MODE1 outputs signal in the status of existence/non-
existence for the number of remaining labels to be printed. MODE2 outputs signal in the status of
online/offline.
Allows the printer to use either a NORMAL or FAST web acceleration. Large, heavy label rolls
should use the NORMAL option while smaller, lighter rolls can use the FAST option.
Allows the hexadecimal code to be specified for the character replaced with the Euro Character.
The default is D5H.
Allows the user to assign a method of command priority. Where programming instructions
conflict, the printer will allow this assignment to take priority. This priority assignment affects the
settings for print darkness, print speed, start position correction, operation mode, print method,
and sensor types.
Select the ENABLE option to set the printer to automatically notify when ribbon supply is nearly
exhausted.
Select ENABLE to allow the printer to re detect label pitch after the printer has been turned on
after having the print head open. When DISABLE is selected, label pitch will not be re detected,
and the label must be manually positioned.
Allows the assignment of a function to the Function key. The NONE setting disables the button. It
may also be assigned the REPRINT command or to enter the SEMBL mode.
