1.1 Overview
The SATO CL608e/CL612e Printers Service Manual provides information for installing and maintaining CL608e/CL612e Thermal Transfer printers. Step-by­step maintenance instructions are included in this manual with typical problems and solutions. It is recommended that you become familiar with each section in this manual before installing and maintaining the printer.
The major differences between the CL608e and the CL612 printers is the resolution of the head and label width. The CL608e with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print labels up to six inches wide. The CL612e provides a higher print resolution, 305 dpi to give laser-quality printing. It is useful when higher resolution is needed for detailed graphic images. It can print labels up to 6.5 inches wide.
The CL Series "e" printers use a subset of the standard SATO Command Language. The CL608e/CL612e share the same command set, the only differences are the allowable values representing the print positions on the label. These values are specified in "dots" and will vary depending upon the resolution of the printer and the amount of memory available for imaging the label. The allowable range for each printer is specified in a table for those command codes.
The sections in this manual cover the following:
· Section 1. Overview and Specifications
· Section 2. Configuration
· Section 3. Interface Specifications
· Section 4. Electrical Checks and Adjustments
· Section 5. Mechanical Adjustments
· Section 6. Replacement Procedures
· Section 7. Factory Resets

Adjust the Media Knob based on the media you have loaded. For media up to
2.3 inches wide, use the "1" position. For media between 2.3 and 4.6 inches wide, use the "2" position. For media wider than
4.6 inches wide, use the "3" position. If you use media narrower than 7 inches, using the wrong setting can void the print head warranty due to excessive pressure.

LINE KEY Momentary switch. Pressing this key toggles the printer between
the on-line and off-line mode. When the printer is on-line, it is ready to receive data from the host. This key acts as a pause during a print job by taking the printer off-line.
FEED KEY Momentary switch. Pressing this key feeds one blank label
through the printer when it is off-line. When the printer is on-line, there is a user selectable option in the Service Mode (see page 2-28) to either print a copy of the previously printed label or feed a blank label. The default is to feed a blank label.

1.7 Ribbon
Use only SATO thermal transfer ribbons which were formulated expressly for use in all SATO printers. Use of other than approved ribbons may result in unsatisfactory print quality and/or damage to the print head and may void your warranty.
1.8 Installation Considerations
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment. The location of the printer should be free from dust, humidity and sudden vibrations. To obtain optimum results from the printer, avoid locations influenced by:
Direct or bright sunlight, since bright light will make the label sensor less responsive
and may cause the label to be sensed incorrectly.
Warm temperatures which can cause electrical problems within the printer. (See
Section 1.10 Environment.

2.1 Dip Switch Settings
Two DIP switches (DSW2 & DSW3) are located inside the Front Access Door. These switches can be used to set:
• Thermal transfer or direct thermal mode
• Head Check Mode
• Hex Dump Mode
• Label sensor enable/disable
• Single Job or Multi-Job Receive Buffer
• Operation Mode
DIP SWITCHES
In addition, a third DIP switch (DSW1) is located on the optional RS232 Serial Adapter card and is used to set the RS232C transmit/receive parameters.
DSW1
Each switch is an eight section toggle switch. The On position is always to the top. To set the switches, first power the unit Off, then position the DIP switches. Finally after placing the switches in the desired positions, power the printer back on. The switch settings are read by the printer electronics during the power-up sequence. They will not become effect until the power is cycled.

External Signal Interface
The EXT connector on the printer rear panel is intended for use with the external printer accessories such as label rewinders or applicators. The 14-pin Centronics type connector provides a choice of four different output signals along with various error conditions.

EXT Print Start Signal Selection (DSW3-5): Allows an external device to initiate
a label print for synchronization with the applicator. See Section 3: Interface Specifications for a description of the signal level and requirements. When DSW3­5 is On, the unit is in the Continuous print mode, Backfeed is disabled an External Signals are ignored.

2.2 Default Settings
Dip Switch Selections
All switches are placed in the Off position (default) except Receive Buffer for shipping. This will result in the following operating configuration:
Communications: Protocol: Sensor: Gap Sensor Receive Buffer: Multi-Job Mode: Batch Continuous Label Sensor: Sensor Used Backfeed: Enabled External Signals: Disabled
(1) Applicable only if an RS232 Interface Card is installed in the printer.
Software Default Settings - The printer stores any software settings upon receipt from the host and uses them until they are again changed by receipt of a command containing a new setting. These settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not affected by powering the printer off. The printer may be reset to use the default software settings by depressing the LINE and FEED keys simultaneously while powering the printer on. You will be asked to confirm that you want the printer default settings by selecting either YES or NO by using the LINE key to step the underline cursor to the desired setting. If you select YES and press the FEED key, the following default configuration will be stored:
(1)
(1)
8 data bits, no parity, 1 Stop bit, 9600 Baud Ready/Busy

Once the default operation is completed, a DEFAULT SETTING COMPLETED message will be displayed on the LCD panel and a single "beep" will be heard. The printer should be powered off while this message is being displayed. This saves the default settings in the EEPROM where they will be automatically loaded the next time the printer is powered on.

Section 2. Configuration
2.3 LCD Panel Configuration
The LCD Panel on the CL608e/CL612e is used in conjunction with the LINE and FEED switches by the operator to manually enter printer configuration settings. Many of the settings can also be controlled via software commands and in the case of conflict between software and control panel settings, the printer will always use the last valid setting. If you load a label job that includes software settings and then enter a new setting via the LCD Panel, the manually set values will be used by the printer. If you set the values manually and then download a job with software settings, the software settings will be used.
There are 7 configuration and operation modesyou can aaccess from the LCD panel. To enter the desired mode, the KEY SEQUENCE combination listed in the table below must be performed. The initial LCD display message is shown for each mode.
