1 SCOPE
This specification describes key operations using the keys and the LCD display of the LE840/LE850 series
high-end industrial general-purpose Label printers.
2 OUTLINE
Key operations are different depending on the printer mode: Online mode, in which operations are carried out
through the keys and error messages are displayed while the printer is connected to the host such as a PC, and
the system mode, in which self-test and setting of various parameters are performed.
This specification describes the key operation procedures with the printer keys and the LCD panel.
The names of the keys and LCD messages used in this specification are written in English

4 OUTLINE OF EACH MODE
This chapter describes the outline of each mode supported by the printer. Refer to each chapter for detailed
information.
4.1 ONLINE MODE
This mode is mainly used by users (operators).
The label or tag can be issued in the online mode. When an error occurs, the help function shows the
cause of an error, troubleshooting, and recovery from the error. The threshold setting, described below, is
also a part of the online mode.
4.1.1 Threshold setting mode
Threshold setting mode is provided to correct a print failure with pre-printed media.
When using pre-print label, detection of a print position may be disabled with the usual media sensor
threshold, depending on the ink type. Such error can be prevented by setting the threshold just for the
pre-printed media to be used. Since the threshold setting value is stored in the non-volatile memory, it is
unnecessary to set the threshold again as long as the same pre-print media is used.
4.1.2 RFID calibration mode
In the RFID calibration mode, the distance to the optimum tag write/read position and AGC value required
for properly writing/reading data on/from RFID tags are obtained through a calibration, the obtained values
are set on the printer automatically, and they are reflected in the printer operation.
To write/read data on/from RFID tags with the label printer, it was necessary to manually set a distance to
the write/read position and an AGC value, which controls the target tag, with @003 command and in the
system mode. These are automatically done in the RFID calibration mode.
4.1.3 Information mode
In the information mode, the total feed amount counted during feed and printing operations is displayed on
the LCD or printed in units of centimeter and inch.
Printing of the feed amount is performed on request.
4.2 SYSTEM MODE
Turning the power on while holding down the both [FEED] and [PAUSE] keys, or the [MODE] key alone
activates the system mode. This mode is mainly used by service persons or the Production Dept. for
adjustment before shipment. The system mode contains the menus which might be changed not so
frequently.
In addition to the menus common to the User System Mode, such as parameter setting, fine adjustment,
and BASIC setting, there are sensor adjustment, interface, RFID and RTC setting menus.
Furthermore, self-diagnosis, test print, RAM clear to initialize the printer settings, pre-shipment adjustment
for factory use, and the menu which enables saving parameter settings, external characters, TPCL
commands to the external USB memory or copying the data from the USB memory to the printer are
provided. The values set in this mode are stored in the non-volatile memory.
2
4.3 USER SYSTEM MODE
The user system mode is accessible from the online mode. This mode, mainly used by users
(administrator) or service persons, contains the menus which might be frequently changed.
In addition to the menus common to the System Mode, such as parameter setting, fine adjustment, and
BASIC setting, there are LAN/WLAN setting, auto calibration, dump function which enables the printer to
dump received data.
The values set in this mode are stored in the non-volatile memory.

6.6 MANUAL THRESHOLD SETTING
6.6.1 Outline of Threshold setting
When a label stock is printed, the printer automatically corrects the print position by detecting gaps between
the labels using the transmissive sensor to maintain a constant print position. However, when a preprinted
label is used, some ink may prevent proper gap detection. In this case, it is required to manually program
the transmissive sensor threshold through key operations and store the value in the non-volatile memory.
Selecting “3: Transmissive Sensor (when using the preprinted label)” for the sensor type of the Issue
Command enables printing at a constant print position.
When the media with black marks printed on the back side is used, the printer automatically corrects the
print position by detecting the black marks by using the reflective sensor. However, if there is reflective rate
variation at a portion other than the black mark, the print position cannot be corrected properly. In this case,
it is required to manually program the reflective sensor threshold through key operations and store the value
in the non-volatile memory.
Selecting “4: Reflective Sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” for the sensor type of the Issue
Command enables printing at a constant print position.

OK (Mid.) Print position is detectable with the media sensor.
Threshold is at the midpoint between the peak and
the baseline.
OK (High) Threshold is near the peak voltage, so detection of a
gap/black mark may fail if the voltage difference is
very small. (Adjusting the threshold to the midpoint
between the peak and the baseline enables more
accurate detection.)

(Supplementary Explanation)
(1) When the [PAUSE] key is released within 3 seconds while the printer is paused, the [PAUSE] key is
invalid.
(2) To program the threshold, 1.5 pieces or more label shall be fed. (If the label feed amount is insufficient,
the threshold may not be properly programmed. In this case, the threshold setting is required again.)
(3) While the head is lifted, the [PAUSE] key is invalid even if the [PAUSE] key is held down for 3 seconds or
more.
(4) When the proper print position is not obtained even after threshold setting, the sensor may be improperly
adjusted. In this case, readjust the sensor in system mode, and program the threshold.
When the backing paper of the label is too thick, the transmissive sensor needs to be readjusted.
In addition, make sure that “3: Transmissive sensor (when using the preprinted label)” or “4: Reflective
sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” is selected for sensor type of the Feed Command and the
Issue Command.
(5) Paper end and ribbon end are not detectable during the threshold setting. (The setting continues as long
as the [PAUSE] key is held down even if the printer runs short of media or ribbon.)
(6) The detailed display is shown when the [RIGHT] key is pressed while the result is displayed. The
measured sensor level and the currently programmed threshold fine adjustment value can be checked.
Fine adjustment value = Peak voltage – Threshold voltage
(7) Pressing the [LEFT] key returns the detailed display to the result display. Pressing the [RIGHT] key
causes the display to go to threshold fine adjustment screen. This is the same menu with the threshold
fine adjustment menu in section 8.5.9 (Reflective sensor) or 8.5.10 (Transmissive sensor).
(8) After setting the threshold fine adjustment value, the screen returns to the result display.
(9) While the result of fine adjusted threshold setting is shown, pressing the [LEFT] key returns the display to
the threshold fine adjustment screen and pressing the [RIGHT] key goes to the detailed display.
(10) During threshold setting, the media is fed at the same speed with that for the previous issue.

6.7.1 Outline of the RFID Calibration
The RFID calibration is a function to automatically determine the distance to the optimum write/read
position and AGC value required for properly writing/reading data on/from RFID tags.
When the result of an RFID calibration is saved (by pressing the [ENTER] key) while the detected values are
shown on the screen, the value obtained through the RFID calibration is set for the CALIB. AGC and CALIB.
POSITION parameters in the system mode and the CALIB. MODE is turned on automatically.
NOTES:
1. Note that the optimum write/read positions and AGC value obtained through RFID calibration do not
guarantee a perfect write/read, so they should be used as a guide.
2. Prior to an RFID calibration, be sure to perform an automatic calibration (<7>AUTO CALIB. in the user
system mode) to place the media at the print start position.
3. If an RFID calibration is performed without placing the media at the print start position, an improper value
may be set, which may cause an error message, “RFID WRITE ERROR”, to be shown during
writing/reading data or data to be written on/read from a wrong tag.
4. If an error message, “RFID WRITE ERROR”, often appears while writing/reading data on/from RFID tags
with CALIB. MODE parameter enabled, perform an automatic calibration (<7>AUTO CALIB. in the user
system mode) or change the setting value for the POWER LEVEL parameter in the system mode, then
perform an RFID calibration again.
5. If an RFID calibration is performed while the actual antenna position is different from that set for the
ANTENNA POSITION parameter in the system mode, an improper value may be set, which may cause
an error message, “RFID WRITE ERROR”, to be shown during writing/reading data or data to be written
on/read from a wrong tag.

]
Pressing the [CANCEL] key returns the display to 1.
No value is saved.
(Supplementary Explanation)
(1) The position and AGC value obtained through an RFID calibration are calibrated with reference to the
media at the print start position.
(2) When the [ENTER] key is released within 3 seconds while the printer is paused, the [ENTER] key is
invalid.
(3) After performing an RFID calibration, the printer returns the RFID media to the print start position.
(4) An RFID calibration is enabled when the FORWARD WAIT parameter is set to ON. In this case, the
printer feeds the RFID media to the print start position temporarily, performs an RFID calibration, then
returns the media to the former position.
(5) If an engine-related error (such as print head open, paper end, ribbon end, and ribbon near end) occurs
during an RFID calibration, the printer stops at the moment the error occurs. Therefore, the media dos not
return to the print start position (or the forwarded position in the case the FORWARD WAIT parameter is
ON.) In this case, the LCD will show the display of 5a. Result Not detected.
(6) An RFID calibration is inoperable in the strip mode.
(7) Do not send a command to the printer while an RFID calibration is being performed. If a command is
sent during an RFID calibration, printer operation is not guaranteed.

6.8 INFORMATION MODE
6.8.1 Outline of the Information Mode
In the information mode, the total feed amount counted during feed and printing operations is displayed
on the LCD, and printed in units of centimeter and inch on request.
The feed amount is counted at the end of feed or printing, and saved in the non-volatile memory.
NOTES:
1. The effective range of the feed amount
the maximum value will be saved.
In unit of centimeter: 0 to 320000000
In unit of inch: 0.0 to 125984251.9
2. In the following cases, feed or printing is not counted in this feed amount
Reverse feed, Forward feed to the strip position, Pre-strip feed, Auto forward feed, Void printing on
RFID media, RFID tag position adjustment command (@003 command), Pre-reverse feed when an
expansion I/O device is connected, Printing in offline (Diag. test print, maintenance counter print, test
print, dump), printing in the information mode, manual threshold, automatic calibration, and RFID
calibration
3. Since the feed amount
(*1)
is counted based on the label pitch specified by the command, a large
margin of error may be generated if the command-specified label pitch differs from the
actually-measured label pitch.
(*1)
is as follows. When the feed amount exceeds the maximum,

4. Since the counted feed amount is saved in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM), replacement of the
EEPROM is prohibited. (Except for the case the Main PC board is replaced with a service part.)

After printing is finished,
the display returns to 1.
Normal state.
(Supplementary Explanation)
(1) When printing is performed in this mode, a quick reset is performed.
Performing a quick reset causes the print count (number of labels issued) to be reset to zero and the
image buffer to be cleared. When the automatic calibration is enabled, a calibration is performed after
the quick reset.
When the automatic call at power on parameter is enabled in the Saved data call command, saved data
will be called after a quick reset.
(2) Previous print conditions are applied to the printing performed in this mode, except:
Printing direction
When the mirror printing has been specified, only the mirror printing is not performed. Therefore, the
bottom first mirror printing and top first mirror printing will be changed to bottom first printing and top first
printing, respectively.
Effective print width and X-coordinate fine adjustment
When the feed amount reaches the max. number of digits, the print position is left-aligned with a 25-mm
left margin.
(3) Before shifting to the Information mode, make sure that the printer has not received any commands
related to feed or drawing. If the printer has received such commands, printing will not be performed and
the printer will return to the normal state. At this time, a quick reset will not be performed.
(4) Do not send a command to the printer in the information mode.

6.9 JOB CANCELLATION
6.9.1 Outline of the Job Cancellation
The [CANCEL] key enables cancellation of subsequent print jobs.
Holding down the [CANCEL] key for 3 seconds while the printer is in an error* or pause state causes the
printer to start a quick reset and shift to the online mode.
As long as the [CANCEL] key is held down, the data in the receive buffer is all discarded.
Job cancellation is finished when the [CANCEL] key is released, and the printer restores to the normal
condition.
*: Errors which can be recovered by a depression of the [RESTART] key.
For details, refer to Section 6.8 LCD MESSAGES AND LED INDICATIONS.
