1 SCOPE

This specification describes key operations using the keys and the LCD display of the B-EX4T1-G and B-EX4T1-T (hereinafter collectively referred to as “B-EX4T”) high-end industrial general-purpose bar code 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.

4.2 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.

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.

4.4 DOWNLOAD MODE

This mode is used to download boot and main programs.

4.5 AUTO CONFIGURATION MODE

This mode is used to update printer firmware stored in USB 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.

No. Display example Icon name Explanation 1

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.)

OK (Low) Threshold is near the baseline 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.)

NG （1）

Print position is not detectable with the media sensor. Sensor adjustment is necessary.

NG （1）

Print position is not detectable with the media sensor. Sensor adjustment is necessary.

(Threshold ≤ Baseline)

NG （2）

Print position is not detectable with the media sensor.

(Calibration may enable print position detection, but it is very difficult.)

• Baseline voltage

• Key operation guid

The calibration result and the threshold voltage are displayed. Pressing the [RIGHT] key enables setting a threshold fine adjustment value. Pressing the [LEFT] key returns the display to the calibration result display.

(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. (11) Whether the threshold setting succeeded or not can be checked with either of the following methods.

 Media feed with the [FEED] key

1. While the judgment result is displayed, press the [FEED] key to terminate the threshold setting. → The printer is placed in the pause state.

2. Press the [RESTART] key to clear the pause state. → The printer is placed in the online state.

3. Hold down the [MODE] key. → The printer enters the user system mode.

4. Select “<2>PARAMETER SET”, “Software Set”, then “THRESHOLD SELECT” with the [UP], [DOWN] and [ENTER] keys.

4: Reflective sensor (when using a manual threshold value)

No setting is necessary.

6. Press the [MODE] key. → User system mode menu is displayed.

7. Select “<1> RESET” and press the [ENTER] key. → After the printer is reset, it is placed in the online mode.

8. Send an Issue Command to make the printer print. → If a paper jam occurs or the media does not stop at the print start position, retry the threshold setting.

6.7 JOB CANCELLATION

6.7.1 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.

*: A command error may occur if the [CENCEL] key is released before the all received data has been

discarded.

8.4.1.1 MEDIA LOAD

This function is enabled only when the sensor type is set to other than “None”.

・ OFF Media loading function is disabled (Same as feed by depression of the [FEED] key) ・ STD

When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the print head is closed, the printer detects the next gap/black mark and feeds the paper from the sensor to the print start position

・ ECO

When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the print head is closed, the printer detects the next gap/black mark and feeds the paper to the print start position based on the last label pitch printed.

・ ECO+Bfeed

After performing the ECO function the printer feeds the paper backward for the label pitch length while raising the print head if the specified conditions are satisfied. (See the following conditions.)

Hardware Optional ribbon saving module (solenoid) is installed. Parameter RBN SAVE parameter is set to TAG or LABEL Operation Media pitch falls between 20mm and 100mm.

The previous issue mode was Batch. (The issue mode is not reset by power off or a printer reset.)

Caution Even if the hardware requirement is not satisfied (the optional

ribbon saving module is not installed), the printer feeds the media backward when the other requirements are satisfied. However, this operation is not guaranteed as it is outside of the specification.

・ + (Plus) Increases the forward feed amount. ・ - (Minus) Decreases the forward feed amount.

NOTES:

1. If the pitch of the media used for the previous issue was less than 20mm, the forward wait will not be activated regardless of the parameter setting

<Supplement> In the case labels with the different pitch (less than 20mm and 20mm or longer) are

alternately placed in one label roll, the forward wait is not activated for the labels with the pitch of less than 20mm. Therefore it stays at the print stop position without being fed backward. Before the next label with the pitch of 20mm or larger is printed, however, it is automatically fed backward along with the previously printed label. This may cause the print data to be printed on the previous label.

2. The media will stay at the forwarded position even if the power is turned off/on, the printer is reset, or the

print head is opened/closed.

8.4.1.4 FW/BK ACT.

・ MODE1

The printer waits for next issue with 13.7-mm media forwarded.

・ MODE2

When the thermal transfer method and cut issue are selected, the printer feeds 6-mm media backward, then waits for next issue with 3-mm media forwarded.

NOTE:

From this position, the printer starts the on-the-fly printing for next issue. The print speed for the 3-mm distance to the home position is limited as follows.

203-dpi model: 3 ips 305-dpi model: 3 ips * Except for the multi-step acceleration area for short-pitch labels, the print

speed will be accelerated up to the specified speed when the media has not been forwarded.

8.4.1.5 HU CUT/RWD.

Whether or not to activate the head up action in the cut issue or to use the Rewinder in the batch or strip issue is selected. * The print head may not be raised depending on the rise of the solenoid’s temperature.

・ OFF

Head up cut is not performed or the Rewinder is not used.

・ ON

Head up cut is performed or the Rewinder is used.

8.4.1.6 RBN SAVE

・ TAG

Enabled (When the head lever is set to TAG position)

・ LABEL Enabled (When the head lever is set to Label position) ・ OFF Disabled.

NOTE: If this setting is enabled without the ribbon saving module not installed, the ribbon slacks and a print failure occurs. Care must be taken when setting this parameter. Also, the ribbon saving option shall be selected depending on the head lever position. Incorrect setting may disable the proper ribbon saving function.

8.4.1.7 PRE PEEL OFF

・ OFF Disables pre peel off ・ ON Enables pre peel off

NOTE: Pre peel off is automatically enabled when the print speed is set to 10 ips or faster.

However, the print speed is corrected depending on the EX I/O parameter setting, as follows.

▪ EXI/O: TYPE 1 (Standard)

203-dpi model: 10 ips

305-dpi model: 8 ips

▪ EX I/O: TYPE 2 (Inline)

TYPE2:

TYPE 2 is available only when the ribbon saving function is set to OFF. When the ribbon saving is

enabled, TYPE 1 will be automatically performed regardless of the selection.

[Label end]

When a label end is detected in the middle of printing, the printer completes the half-finished label and stops when the next label is at the home position, displaying the error message “NO PAPER X”. (“X” indicates the remaining number of labels.) The remaining number of labels = [Specified number of labels] − [The number of finished labels including half-finished one] If a label end is detected while the specified last label is printed, the position of “X” will be blank. When the printing is restarted, first the initial feed is performed, and then the printer starts printing from the next label. In case of the label end while the specified last label is printed, only the initial feed is performed, and if the status response is set to ON, an issue end status is sent following a feed end status.

[Ribbon end] When a ribbon end is detected when the unfinished label length is 30 mm or more, printer prints for 20 mm and stops printing, displaying an error message “NO RIBBON X”. (“X” indicates the remaining number of labels.) The remaining number labels = [Specified number of labels] − [The number of finished labels] − 1

If a ribbon end is detected while the specified last label is printed, the position of “X” will be blank. When the printing is restarted, first the initial feed is performed, and then the printer starts printing from the next label. In case of the ribbon end while the specified last label is printed, only the initial feed is performed.

[Procedure for label having label pitch of less than 25.4 mm when the disc cutter is used]

The minimum label pitch of the label which can be cut in normal use is 25.4 mm. When a label having a label pitch of less than 25.4 mm is used (although it is out of specifications), the edge of the label is caught by the edge of the thermal head during a back feed to the home position after cutting the gap area between labels. Therefore, the label may not be fed back to the proper home position. By performing either method below, the problem will be solved.

[Method 1] Lift the head.

When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation is as follows.

Head lifted → Forward feed to the cut position → Head lowered → Cut →

Head lifted → Reverse feed to the home position → Head lowered

Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.

Label pitch of 25.4 mm or less, cut performed, transmissive sensor designated, cut position fine adjustment of ±10.0 mm or less, and issue mode “C”

* The head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon saving module is mounted

and the ribbon saving function is set to ON with the parameter setting menu. When the ribbon saving module is not installed, use Method 2 since the print head is not lifted/lowered.

NOTES: 1. If the bottom edge of the last label advances past the feed roller while the

print head is lifted during label feed to cut, the sensor may not be able to detect an error even if the label cannot be fed any more.

2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is about to be

performed with the head lifted, the head may not be lifted.

[Method 2] Adjust the cut position fine adjustment value.

When this procedure is used, one or more printed labels are left between the head and

the cutter. Therefore, these labels need to be removed by an issue or a label feed.

(a) Cut position fine adjustment value calculation The cut position fine adjustment value can be calculated using the following method.

If a back feed to the proper home position cannot be performed using this value, the cut position needs to be adjusted with any value.

Ex) Label pitch: 30.0 mm

[Procedure for label having less than the min. label pitch for each issue speed when the rotary cutter

is used]

When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation for the last label to be cut is as follows.

Forward feed to the cut position → Cut while feeding → Feed stops →

Head lifted → Reverse feed to the home position → Head lowered

Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.

Label pitch: Less than the min. label pitch for each issue speed,

cut performed, transmissive sensor designated, cut position fine adjustment

of ±10.0 mm or less, and issue mode “C”

* For the Issue Command, this procedure is effective only when the next Issue

Command is not received at the last label to be cut.

* The print head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon saving module is

mounted and the ribbon saving function is set to ON with the parameter setting menu. When the ribbon saving module is not installed, the print head is not lifted or lowered.

NOTES: 1. If the bottom edge of the last label advances past the feed roller while the

print head is lifted during label feed to cut, the sensor may not be able to detect an error even if the label cannot be fed any more.

2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is about to

be performed with the head lifted, the head may not be lifted

Printing in strip issue mode is stopped at the position where the distance from the middle point of the gap between labels to the end of the strip shaft is 4 mm, since the gap between labels is assumed to be 2 mm. When the print stop position is not proper due to a greater gap, the print stop position should be adjusted using the strip position fine adjust function.

NOTE: There may be cases where a label is not returned to the home position depending on the print

conditions, even if a back feed, of which length is the same as the forward feed, is performed. In issues where any paper sensor is used, if the label pitch length is almost the same as the distance between the thermal print head and the paper sensors (75.5 mm), a label/tag may not be returned to the home position when operations with a back feed (such as cut issues, strip issues, automatic forward feed standby) are performed. It may result in an error. In such cases, to prevent an error from occurring, the back feed length should be increased by performing the back feed fine adjustment in the + direction.

Supplementary explanation

• When the [RESTART] and [FEED] keys are pressed at the same time, the display returns to the system mode menu.

• When the [RESTART] or [FEED] key is held down for 0.5 seconds or more when a fine adjustment value is being set, the printer enters the repeat mode, in which the key is entered repeatedly.

• A changed fine adjustment value is stored in memory by pressing the [PAUSE] key.

• The printer is controlled by the sum of the fine adjustment parameter programmed on the printer and the fine adjustment command from the PC. However, the maximum values for each fine adjustment are as follows:

Feed fine adjustment .......................................................................±50.0 mm

Strip position fine adjustment .......................................................... ±50.0 mm

Back feed fine adjustment ................................................................. ±9.9 mm

Print density fine adjustment ........................................... -20 step to ±10 step

X-coordinate fine adjustment........................................................... ±99.5 mm

Ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment (Take-up) ...........-15 to +10 step

Ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment (Back tension).... -15 to +10 step

• The X-coordinate fine adjustment is performed to fine adjust the X-coordinate of the drawing in the left or right direction. Adjust the X-coordinate in the effective print range. (After the value reaches the coordinate “0”, the value remains unchanged even if a subsequent fine adjustment is performed in the negative direction.)

• The X-coordinate fine adjustment is not effective for the self-test results printout (maintenance counter, various parameters, and automatic self-test) and the test print.

• The print density fine adjustment value is +0 step at the time of shipment from the factory.

• The ribbon take-up/back tension motors drive voltage fine adjustment values are the sum of the fine adjustment by the command (from the PC) and the fine adjustment in the system mode (by key operation). The maximum fine adjustment values are -15 for both the ribbon take-up motor and the ribbon back tension motor.

• The print density fine adjustment value is the sum of the fine adjustment by command (from the PC) and the fine adjustment in the system mode (by key operation). The respective max. Fine adjustment values are –20 to +10. The max value for each print speed is as below. When the value exceeds the maximum, it is automatically corrected to the max value.

Supplementary explanation:

・ Each fine adjustment parameter is effective for test print. However, the X-coordinate fine adjustment is

excluded.

・ When an error occurs during a test print, the error message is displayed and printing is stopped. The

error LED turns on and the online LED turns off.

・ The error is cleared by a depression of the [CANCEL] key or [ENTER] key, and the display returns to the

test print menu. The error LED turns off and the online LED turns on. Printing is not automatically resumed after the error is cleared.

・ The label size greater than the image buffer length cannot be designated. If it is designated, the printer

prints data corresponding to the image buffer length then stops, or the printer stops because of an error.

・ When the transmissive sensor is selected, the gap between labels shall be 3 mm.

For the B-EX4, the rotary cutter does not support the print speed of 10 ips or faster. When the rotary cutter is mounted (regardless of the cut issue is specified), the print speed is corrected to 8 ips even if 10 ips is selected. For B-EX4T1-G, specifying less than 15.0-mm pitch label for 3 ips print speed or less than 30.0-mm pitch label for 6 ips, printing is performed without cut. For B-EX4T1-T, specifying less than 15.0-mm pitch label for 3 ips print speed, less than 25.0-mm pitch label for 5 ips, or less than 38.0-mm pitch label for 8 ips, printing is performed without cut.
