Set Early Warning System
When this parameter is enabled, the print engine provides warnings when
labels are running low.
Note • Update the number of labels per roll when beginning use of
the Early Warning System. The print engine does not make any
adjustments when power is turned off and on.
Default: MEDIA DISABLED
Selections: MEDIA DISABLED, MEDIA ENABLED
To change the Early Warning settings:
1. When the LCD displays EARLY WARNING MEDIA, press the left or
right oval to toggle between
ENABLED and DISABLED. (If you are
prompted for a password, enter your password using the instructions in
Change Password-Protected Parameters on page 52.)
2. If you enable the Early Warning System, do the following:
a. Exit Setup mode and save changes to enable additional parameters.
b. Enter Setup mode again. The media and ribbon parameters
(
LABELS PER ROLL, MEDIA REPLACED, RIBBON
LENGTH
, and RIBBON REPLACED) appear.
c. Adjust the settings as necessary (descriptions of each of these
parameters follows).
Set Number of Labels Per Roll for Early Warning
This parameter appears only when Early Warning is enabled for media.
This value should correspond to the number of labels per roll of the media
that you are using.
Default: 0900
Range: 100 to 9999
To change the value shown:
1. Press the left oval to move the cursor.
2. Press the right oval to increase the value of the digit.
Based on the number entered, when the print engine detects that less
than 15% of the labels remain,
WARNING MEDIA LOW appears on
the LCD. If the alert function is enabled, an alert is also sent. When the
printhead is opened and then closed after a media warning is received,
the LCD prompts with
MEDIA REPLACED?.
3. If you replaced the media, press the right oval to select
YES to clear
the warning and reset the label counter. If you did not replace the
media, press the left oval to select
NO.
