2.1.2 Interface Connection

The printer can be connected to the host via the
parallel, USB, serial, or optional network
interface. The printer will automatically connect
to the first port that delivers valid data. Once
established, the printer’s power must be cycled
‘Off’ and ‘On’ to change an interface connection.

The Parallel Connection needs a Centronics
IEEE 1284 cable with a 36-pin male connector
for unidirectional (forward channel)
communications, or an IEEE 1284 Compliant
cable for bi-directional communications
(forward and reverse channels). Also, for bi­directional communications your host must
have supporting software.

The Serial Connection needs a serial interface cable with specific pin-outs for proper
communications (part numbers and pin-outs are given, below; contact your reseller to order). The
interface supports RS-232C communications via a DB-9 connector. Serial port settings are menu­selectable and must match your host’s serial port settings.

Part # 32-2300-01 Part # 32-2301-01

Optional Ethernet Print Servers (wired and wireless) are available. For information on using
these interfaces, see Appendix B.

The USB Connection needs a USB cable and is supported in Windows 95 and greater operating
systems. Depending upon the operating system of your host computer, installation requirements
may differ slightly, see section 2.1.3 for more information

Ribbon is required with thermal transfer media. It is recommended that the width of the ribbon be
slightly wider than the media being used. The printer can use either ribbons with the ‘coating side
in’ or

ribbons with the ‘coating side out’. To load:

• Using a ribbon that is slightly wider than your media (and liner, if any) will help protect against

printhead wear.



1. Open the media cover. Rotate and unlock the Printhead Latch and raise the Printhead Assembly.

• The ‘Media Type’ setting within the printer’s setup must be set to ‘Thermal Transfer’ to print

using ribbon. This can be accomplished via the NETira CT configuration Utility (see section 3.3);
or via the printers menu system (see section 4.5).

Important Notes:

The Windows driver functions the same as any other Windows printer. A built in help file is available for
complete information on all settings; however, there are some important settings that should be
observed for trouble free printing.

Page Setup Tab: Stock

It is important that the Stock setting matches
the size of the label you are using. If you
cannot find a match for your label click 'New'
and enter the dimensions of your label.

Options Tab: Print Speed & Printhead
Temperature

These two settings will have the greatest effect
on print quality. Some label stocks will require
more heat and slower print speeds to generate a
quality image.

The Windows application software used to create the label format will likely have a "Page Setup"
screen. This will also need to match the size of the label you are using.

3.4.1 Quick Calibration

Quick Calibration should be performed as part of the media loading routine to fine-tune the
sensing parameters.

(1) This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.



(2) Media containing large gaps may require a change in the PAPER EMPTY DISTANCE before
proceeding.

Calibrate the printer as follows:

1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media loaded, the
media sensor adjusted, and the sensor type selected.

2. Press and hol d the FEED Key until at least one full label has been output then release the key
and wait for the printer to process the data. There are two possible outcomes:

CALIBRATION COMPLETE - will be displayed, and the media will be advanced to the next top
of form if calibration was successful; or,

CALIBRATION FAILED will be displayed if calibration was not successful. In this case, check
the hints listed below to help resolve the problem:

Calibration Hints:

WARNING LOW BACKING is a normal message when calibrating die-cut media mounted on a
highly translucent liner or notched tag stocks.

If the initial attempt fails, press and hold the FEED Key until two successive label TOFs have
been output. If, however, CALIBRATION FAILED is displayed again, perform the Standard
Calibration routine, see Section 3.4.3.

Empty Calibration calibrates the printer’s media sensor to detect an ‘Out of Stock’ condition.
Calibrate the printer as follows:

1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media removed.

2. Press and hold the Pause & Feed Keys together. The printer will now be calibrated for the ‘Out
of Stock’ condition.

Chapter 3 - Printer Operation 22

3.4.3 Standard Calibration

T

The Standard Calibration can be performed using the NETira CT Utility (see Section 3.3) or using
the front panel buttons via the printer’s menu, see Section 4.5. Standard Calibration provides
dynamic readings, which can be helpful when using media with small position-critical notches or
marks. Three calibration samples are required:

Empty – with nothing over the sensor;
Gap, Notch, Hole or Mark – with media liner, a notch, hole, or a mark over the sensor; and,
Paper – with the label (and liner, if any) over the sensor.

Calibrate the Media Sensor using the steps below:

If print quality declines (symptoms include non-compliant bar codes, print dropouts, and streaks;
see sample label below), the typical cause is debris build-up on the printhead. Furthermore, when
the build-up is not removed it may lead to element failure, greatly reducing the service life of the
printhead.

printed):

Intellifont will not print:

Light print on the right side (facing
the printer) of the label:

Chapter 6 – Troubleshooting 65

If using the serial port for communicating, check both the

host and printer port settings; the printer may be set to
eight data bits while the host is set to 7 (or vice versa).

Intellifont format is Little/Big Endian specific. The printer
uses Big Endian. Refer to your font supplier for information.

The Media Width Adjustment may be incorrectly adjusted;

see Section 5.3.

The Printhead or Platen Roller may be dirty or worn; clean

or call for service.

If experiencing this problem…

Missing information in the printed
label:

Missing print on left or right side of
the label:

No power (all indicator lights are
‘Off”):

Try this solution…

Check the label format for character placement outside the

dimensions of the label; all row/column values must allow
enough space for the height/length of the characters and
bar codes to be printed within the format size.

The available memory may have been exceeded by the

memory requirement of the label format. Try reducing the
memory allocated to either the internal module or
scaleable font caches, see Section 4.5.)

If using serial communications, ensure that the interface

cable meets the requirements found in Section 2.1.2.

Information may be formatted outside the label dimensions.
Check your software program label size. For display­equipped printers also check the values in the menu for Print
Control / Column Offset and Print Control / Custom
Adjustments / Column Offset; see Section 4.5.

Verify that the AC power cord connection has been made

at both the outlet and the printer; also, ensure the power
switch is ‘On’.

Verify that the AC outlet is functioning, or try moving the

printer to another AC circuit.

The AC cord may be damaged; replace it.
The line fuse may be blown; call for service.

Chapter 6 – Troubleshooting 66

If experiencing this problem…

Nothing is printing (labels advance
normally, but no image is printed):

Nothing happens when trying to print
using a software program:

Try this solution…

Examine the used ribbon for an image:

If there is an image on the used ribbon:

 Verify that the ribbon was properly loaded per Section 2. 4.
 If properly loaded, the wrong coating configuration was

used. (To verify the inked side, press the adhesive backing
of a label against the ribbon surface. Ink will only lift from
the coated side of the ribbon.) Clean the printhead (see
Section 5.2); then replace the ribbon with the correct type
for the printer, Section 2.4.

If there is no image on the used ribbon:

Print any Internal Test Label, see Section 4.4.) If an image

is printed, then check the protocol and port settings for
both the printer and host. These settings must match.

The heat setting may be too low. Make an adjustment in

the software program or through the menu.

The media/ribbon combination may be incorrect. Contact a

Media Representative.

The printhead or printhead cable(s) may be loose; power

‘Off’ the printer then reconnect.

Ensure that the printer is at READY.
Observe the Front Panel, if the READY light does not flash

as you send the format check the protocol and port
settings between the printer and host.

Ensure the interface cable meets the requirements found

in Section 2.1.2.

The Hex Dump Mode is a useful tool for diagnosing problems, including communication and DPL
syntax errors, allowing a comparison of input strings (sent by host) to output data (received by
printer). To decode this information, the Programmer’s Manual is an essential reference. This
output can be used for debugging the label format. In addition, by repeatedly sending a format,
this mode can uncover handshaking problems (if they exist). Handshaking problems are identified
by sections of missing data in the character string.

To print the Hex Dump Label:

To begin, go to the Diagnostics menu and enable Hex Dump Mode; see Section 4.5. Exit the menu
and save the changes. Now, ‘HEX DUMP MODE’ will be indicated by the display and all data sent to
the printer will now be output in hexadecimal code, along with the printable ASCII equivalents, as
shown below. To exit Hex Dump Mode, re-enter the Diagnostics Menu and disable the Hex Dump
Mode, exit the menu, then save the changes.

The figure below is a sample Hex Dump Label. After sending a label format to the printer, the hex
code output will be immediate. As a final note, many software programs use bit mapping to
construct the label, making diagnosis difficult. Contact Datamax-O’Neil Technical Support with any
questions.

Whether a wired or wireless connection is intended, it is recommend to establish a wired
connection to the printer first. This will allow access to the printers internal web pages to
configure the settings necessary for a typical wireless connection. If a wired connection is not or
can not be achieved all connection parameters can also be set using the NETira CT configuration
utility, see section 3.3.

The printer makes IP requests at power-up, so before making a network connection to the printer
consider how your IP addressing needs to be assigned. The IP addressing of the printer can be
configured in one of two ways: Using a static IP Address or Using IP Discovery (DHCP, BootP, or
RARP). At factory default settings IP DISCOVERY is ENABLED (DHCP).

1. With Printer Off, connect the network cable then turn on Printer.

2. The printer will now search for a DHCP server. Once the printer has obtained an IP address
the icon will be displayed signifying that an IP address has been obtained. Allow up to 90

seconds for the printer to retrieve an IP address.

3. At this point it is recommended to print a Network Report.
This Network Report is generated by the printer and lists
important default information such as the IP and MAC
Addresses as well as SSID for wireless equipped cards. To
print the ‘Network Report’: Press the PAUSE, FEED,
CANCEL buttons at the same time.

4. Verify the printer has obtained a valid IP address for your
network. If a valid IP address was not obtained or you wish
to use a different static address this can be set via the
printer’s front panel.

Enter the printer’s menu and navigate to the Communications/Network Interface/Wired

Ethernet menu branch.

 Set the “IP Discovery” menu item to “Use Static Addresses”.
 Set the “IP Address” menu item to desired value, continue the same procedure with

“Subnet Mask” and “Default Gateway” menu items if necessary. Exit the printers menu.
Cycle power to the printer, upon start-up the printer will connect to the network using the
new parameters you provided.

Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you may now use the IP Address to:

 If your printer is equipped with wireless capabilities, browse to the printer’s internal web

pages for wireless/advanced configuration. See section B.2, Wireless Setup.

-or-

 Install a printer driver, and start printing from your Windows applications. See section B.3,

Installing the Printer Driver.

If a different IP Address has been assigned to the printer, make sure to enter the correct IP address.

The following page will appear:

The printer’s internal web pages are divided
into 10 pages that are accessible via the
navigation bar on the left-hand side.

Most of the items on these pages mimic the

on the function of these settings see the
corresponding function in Chapter 4.

You must provide a password to change any settings, the default password is “sysadm”.

If any address parameters were changed such as IP address, subnet or gateway, the printer might
not be viewable from the current host if they are no longer on the same subnet.

•

The standard printer leaves the factory with EFIGS loaded into Module Y. At this point, Module
Y is LOCKED and will only accept additional language downloads.

• After downloading a language update, Module Y is left UNLOCKED until the printer is reset or

power is cycled. In this state, Module Y will accept font, image and label format downloads.
The module will also honor the Clear Module request. Therefore, following an update it is
recommended that a reset be performed to lock the module; otherwise, a software package
may “Clear All Modules” thus destroying the new menu language(s).

•

Module Y can be UNLOCKED by sending this DPL string: <STX>KpY0

• To restore the factory generated EFIGS image, download the file *832296.01A to the printer.

This file is located on the Datamax-O’Neil FTP site. The letter at the end of the file name (e.g.,
A) specifies the revision. The latest revision will be available on the FTP site.

• Downloading the same language twice will automatically delete the first occurrence, but will

not free the memory space.

• Deletion of the selected language will reset the printer to English. The total number of

languages that the printer can now accept is limited to 10, but this number is dependent upon
the size of each language translation. The translation size will vary with the number of
messages that are translated for that particular language. Current complete language files are
about 7,000 bytes each; but with product growth, the total number of languages is expected
to drop to five.
