SETTING UP THE PRINTER
Consider the following when setting up the printer:
• Locate a solid, flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. If a
Cutter/Stacker is to be used with the printer, make sure thaere is adequate
room for the unit. The printer cover swings upward and back, make sure
there is enough clearance for the cover to swing open.
• The location should be near the host computer or terminal. The maximum
distance for RS232 cables is 50 feet and six feet for Centronics parallel
cables. Cables can be purchased locally and their configuration will depend
upon the host system.
• For information on interfacing the printer to a host system, see Section 6:
Interface Specifications.
The procedures for setting up the printer and adjusting the sensors are outlined in
Section 2. The procedures for setting ut the operating parameters (Print Speed, Pitch
Offset, etc.)are outlined in Section 3.
• Load the ribbon (see page 2-15).
• Load the Media (see page 2-12).
• Setup the printer for the media type (see page 2-8). You must use the LCD
panel to select the proper media type (see page 2-14). The selections are:
Center Hole Tag
I-Mark Tag
Side Hole Tag
R-Corner Tag
Label Gap
I-Mark Label
• Adjust the Cutter Sensor (see page 2-18). Note: The Cutter Sensor must be
set up even if the Cutter is disabled.
• Adjust the Cutter Offset to corectly locate the cut position. This can
generally be done with the Cut Position potentiometer on the Control Panel
(see page 3-20) which has a +/- 3.75mm range. If this is insufficient, the
Cut Offset can be moved +/- 99 dots using the LCD panel (see page 3-15).
• Set the Pitch, Cut and Backfeed Offset using the LCD panel (see page 3-14).
