Menu Setup Mode

If the printer power is turn on while the MODE/REPEAT key is pressed, the printer enters menu setup mode. In this mode, the printer’s conguration can be changed using the VuePrint Menu System. During menu setting mode, the PRINT LED and CONDITION LED are on. Media must be installed in the printer to use the VuePrint menu system.

Functions of the keys

After each menu item is printed, the printer will also print the function of each of the buttons at that time. They vary slightly depending on the menu selected but generally t the following guidelines:

PAUSE key (YES/Select/Save):

It is pushed to either select the current menu option or to save the

new setting after which it advances to the next menu.

STOP key (NO/Next Item/Change Value):

Whilst changing a menu value (such as head temperature), pressing

this key displays the next menu value available but does not save the setting. In the “main menu“, pressing this key moves to the next menu available.

FEED key (Next digit):

With some menu options such as head temperature, there is more

than one “digit” than can be changed.

This key moves the cursor to the next digit.

MODE/REPEAT key (Exit to previous menu):

Exits the current menu or the VuePrint menu system.

Caution

When you are changing a menu value, pressing the “PAUSE” key (YES) causes the printer to save the currently selected parameter. The CONDITION LED ashes briey. Do not turn o the power to the printer at this time as this may cause a malfunction. If the power is accidentally turned o, rst reset the printer to factory defaults.

Emulation Auto Detect: Cross-Emulation

A dierent emulation will be detected when the Emulation Auto Detect of the System Setup is set to On or Full Auto. (Detects Zebra® when Datamax® is selected, and Datamax® when Zebra® is selected.)

If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “On”



If the “Emulation Auto-Detect” is set to “On”, this will cause the

CONDITION LED to ash when it detects an alternative emulation. By selecting MODE/REPEAT KEY, the printer will restart and emulation will automatically make a switch. By selecting another KEY, detection will be canceled, and CONDITION LED will turn O.

If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “Full Auto”



If the “Emulation Auto Detect” is set to “Full Auto”, this will cause

the printer to restart when it detects an alternative emulation, and emulation will automatically make a switch.

Manually Selecting the Printer Emulation

To manually choose between Datamax® and Zebra® emulations, you can use the VuePrint menu system. The Emulation Select option in the System Setup menu allows you to do this.

Alternatively, you can use the “Quick Switch” option as follows:

1. Turn on the printer holding down PAUSE and FEED keys together. The printer will beep three times and the CONDITION LED will ash.

2. Press FEED key once for Datamax® emulation.

3. Press FEED key two times for Zebra® emulation. The printer beeps each time the feed key is pressed.

4. To save the new selection, press MODE/REPEAT key. The printer will beep three times and then restarts.

Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments

Sensor Adjustments

The sensing level of both the transparent (see thru) and reective sensors is adjusted separately and independently. Firstly, the sensor type must be selected either using the VuePrint menu system or the Sensor Method Selection shown below. Then the adjustment and calibration of the sensor can be made.

Entering Sensor Adjustment Mode

1. Turn on the power while pushing the PAUSE key, FEED key, and STOP key simultaneously.

Power Switch

Installing the Media (p.24)

2. After the PRINT LED and CONDITION LED light up, release the keys to change the printer to sensor adjustment setting mode.

Sensor Selection Method (Transparent  Reective)

To switch from transparent to reective sensor, ensure the CONDITION LED is lit then hold down the MODE/REPEAT key and then press the STOP key. Each time you press the STOP key, you switch to back and forth between the two sensor types. If the transparent sensor is selected, the PRINT LED lights up and the buzzer sounds once. If the reective sensor is selected, the PRINT LED ashes slowly and the buzzer sounds twice.

It may be necessary to adjust the printer according to the thickness of the media being used. This can be done easily by rotating the media adjustment dial to improve the print quality.

• Poor print quality across the complete printout means wrongly set

media thickness. See this section.

• Poor print quality on one side of a printout means wrongly set media

width. See next section.

When using standard label media, high quality media or direct thermal media

Adjust while performing test printing by turning the dial from the smallest number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at a time.

When using thicker media (tags, card, etc.)

Adjust while performing test printing by turning the dial from the smallest number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at a time.

Media Thickness

Dial Position

0 Direct thermal media (thin media)

1 Standard Label media, Direct thermal media

3-5 Thicker backing paper labels

6-9 Cards, tags, thicker media stock.

These values are guidelines. The exact media being used must be matched with the correct media thickness adjustment position.

• When shipped from the factory, it is set at dial 1.

• The offset adjustment varies according to the thickness and the

hardness of the media.

Media Width Adjustment

Installing the Media (p.24)

Self Print Mode (p.26)

The head pressure varies according to the width of the media being printed. The head pressure balance must be adjusted according to media width so that constant head pressure is applied to the head. With this printer, it can be adjusted easily by turning the media width adjustment dial. If the printing is blurred or lightly printed on one side or the media moves in a zigzag pattern adjust the head pressure balance. After making an adjustment, conrm the output quality with a test print.

Caution

When using narrow media, be sure to MAKE this adjustment. (If you do not, the head may be damaged by jamming, etc.)

Cleaning

Wipe o any foreign matter such as media dust, dirt and adhesive substances built up around the printhead with the head cleaning pen (head cleaner) provided, and use a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol for the platen etc. It is particularly important to clean the thermal printhead after printing on thermal media for long periods, which will guarantee the print quality and extend the life of the thermal printhead.

Note: Always use the head cleaner when cleaning the thermal printhead.

Thermal printhead

Head cleaner

Platen

Caution

Do not use any solvent other than ethyl alcohol. Solvents such as benzene, acetone and thinner will dissolve plastic parts and destroy the thermal printhead, platen and much of the printer! Try to avoid using “excessive amounts” of ethyl alcohol to clean the platen. Excessive use will harden the platen surface prematurely.

Troubleshooting

This section explains corrective actions taken when the printer malfunctions or when an error message is displayed.

Items to check when a malfunction occurs

When the printer malfunctions during operation, take corrective action with reference to the following table. If the corrective action does not solve the problem, consult with the service personnel at the dealer where you purchased the printer.

Indication Check Corrective action

The LED do not light up when printer power is connected.

Paper is feeding, but nothing is printed.

1) Is the plug of the power cord correctly inserted into the electric outlet?

2) Is the connector of the power cord correctly inserted into the power inlet of the printer?

3) Is the power cord damaged?

4) Is power supplied to the electric outlet the printer is connected to?

5) Is the main fuse in the building’s fuse box burnt out?

1) Is the thermal printhead dirty? Is a label stuck to the head?

1) Insert the plug of the power cord correctly in the electric outlet.

2) Insert the connector of the power cord correctly into the power inlet of the printer.

3) Replace the power cord. Consult with the dealer where the printer was purchased to make sure you obtain a cord made especially for the printer.

Note: Do not use any power cord except one made especially for the printer.

4) Check to make sure power is supplied to the outlet. If there are any problems, make sure power is supplied to the building. Or nd out if a power failure has occurred.

5) If necessary, replace the main fuse in the building’s fuse box, and reset the main breaker. Ask a qualied serviceman to carry out the replacement.

1) If it is dirty, remove the dirt with the attached head cleaner. If a label is stuck to the thermal printhead remove it.

Note: Do not use a metal object to remove a label stuck to the inside of the printer. (This may damage the thermal printhead.) If adhesive label material is stuck to the thermal printhead, remove it with a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol.

Transmission modes Compatible mode:

It is an asynchronous forward direction of the byte width (from host to printer) channel, and the interface line of the data is operated in accordance with signal line denitions of Centronics.

NIBBLE mode:

Nibble mode is asynchronous reverse channel communication with data transmission controlled by the host computer. In reverse channel transmission, the data is nibble transmitted in two parts using four status lines (Fault, Select, PE, and Busy). And nibble mode can be used along with compatible mode to send data in two directions.

ECP mode:

ECP mode permits bi-directional asynchronous data transmission, and thanks to its interlock handshake, it does not require the timing necessary with compatible mode.
