HEAD
RESISTOR
Setting the Head Resistor Value
Caution • This parameter should be changed only by qualified service personnel.
Do not set the value higher than that shown on the printhead. Setting a higher value
may damage the printhead.
This value has been preset at the factory to match the resistance value of the printhead.
It does not need to be changed unless the printhead or the main logic board is replaced.
1. Look on the printhead for the label that shows the resistance value (Ω value).
2. Press the left oval to move to the next digit position.
3. Press the right oval to increase the value of the digit.
Initial Value: Factory-set to match the printhead shipped with your printer.
Default Value: 0500
Range: 0500 to 2500
VERIFIER
PORT
Setting the Verifier Port
The auxiliary port is used to determine how the printer reacts to the online verifier. The
three operating conditions for this port are:
• OFF: The verifier port is off.
• VER-RPRNT ERR: Label reprinted if verifier detects an error. If a bar code is near
the upper edge of the label, the label is fed out far enough to be verified and then
backfed to allow the next label to print and be verified.
• VER-THRUPUT: Allows greatest throughput but may not indicate a verification
error immediately upon detection. May print from one to three labels before an error
is recognized and printing stops.
• Press the right or left oval to display other choices.
Default: Off
Selections: Off, VER-RPRNT, VER-THRUPUT
For more information on the operation of the optional verifier, see the documentation
provided with that option.
APPLICATOR
PORT
Setting the Applicator Port
Determines the action of the verifier port.
Note • Set this value as suggested by the applicator manufacturer.
• Off: The applicator port is off.
• Mode 1: Asserts the ~END_PRINT signal low while the printer is moving the
label forward.
• Mode 2: Asserts the ~END_PRINT signal high while the printer is moving the
label forward.
• Mode 3: Asserts the ~END_PRINT signal low for 20 milliseconds when a label
has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during continuous printing modes.
• Mode 4: Asserts the ~END_PRINT signal high for 20 milliseconds when a label
has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during continuous printing modes.
• Press the right or left oval to display other choices.
