section 5.1 Alignment for Calibration and 11.0
Troubleshooting and then repeat the procedure
calibration procedure .
EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 14
English
5.1 Alignment For Calibration
Calibration on some products can prove difficult to achieve. This is normally due to the sensor
timing out before the label and backing material contrast has been recognised by the printer’s
sensor.
Reducing the length of time the sensor has to pick up on the difference between the labels and
backing material will result in successful sensor calibrations.
5.1.1 Labels Alignment
Position a label under the T200 sensor with less than approx. 5mm of label travel to occur
before the backing material is picked up by the sensor.
Approx 5mm
5.1.2 Labels With Sensor Holes Alignment
Position a label under the T200 sensor with less than approx. 5mm of media travel to occur
before the sensor hole is picked up by the sensor.
NOTE: Labels will only calibrate if they pass directly under the sensor. Products that do not
have a label directly under the sensor will not calibrate. A sensor hole or black mark is required
to calibrate these products. If the black mark is to be used the default sensor setting must be
changed in the printer, refer to section 6.0 Changing Sensor Type.
AApprox 5mm
EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 15
English
6.0 Changing Sensor Type
The default sensor for the T200 is the Transmissive Sensor (Web) sensor. This should work for
all TMS products and standard labels. If the Reflective (Black Mark) sensor is required or
Continuous mode is required then the relevant procedures must be carried out.
6.1 Reflective (Black Mark) Sensor
To enable the Reflective (Black Mark) sensor a label must be printed to the printer with the
sensor set to Reflective (Black Mark) in either Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or
PrintEasy’s Windows Printer Driver. Once a label with these settings has been sent to the
printer, the LED will display Red. The printer must then be calibrated on the Reflective (Black
Mark) product.
6.2 Continuous Sensing Mode
To enable continuous products to be printed the printer must be put into continous mode. To
enable this a label must be printed to the printer with the sensor set to Continuous in either
Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or PrintEasy’s Windows Printer Driver. Once a label
with these settings has been sent to the printer the LED will display Red. The printer must then
be calibrated on the continuous product.
6.3 Transmissive Sensor
To return to the Transmissive (Web) sensor a label must be printed to the printer with the sensor
set to Transmissive (Web) in either Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or PrintEasy’s
Windows Printer Driver. Once a label with these settings has been sent to the printer, the LED
will display Red. The printer must then be calibrated on the Transmissive (Web) product.
Note: The calibration process is the same for all sensing modes and is described in section 5.0
Calibration.
7.0 Printer Firmware Versions
The printers will come pre-loaded with the correct firmware version:
T208M & T208M-C - firmware version 4.51 or newer.
T212M & T212M-C - firmware version 4.51 or newer.
The firmware version should not be changed or updated without checking with Tyco
Electronics. Not all versions of firmware will allow for the successful printing of Tyco
Electronics identification products.
The firmware version can be checked by undertaking a printer calibration. (see section 5.0
Calibration)
EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 16
English
8.0 Software
The recommended software for printing on the T200 series is either WinTotal for TMS markers
and basic Label design or PrintEasy for Labels. Demonstration versions of both these packages
can be found on the CD.
WinTotal has built in printer drivers.
PrintEasy uses Windows Printer Drivers – they can be installed automatically from the CD.
These drivers will work on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2K and XP
Both software programs can control all relevant aspects of the printer including Speed and
Darkness. Most products will print successfully with the default settings from either software
package. Increasing the Darkness will normally improve the print quality.
Note: For more details please refer to the software documentation or contact your local Tyco
Electronics representative.
9.0 Print Quality
To ensure that the correct print quality is achieved the printed product should have a minimum
contrast value of 8 (preferably 9-10) on the Tyco Electronics print contrast scale.
EIL/MAN/002: REVISION 6 Date: July 2007 Page 17
English
10.0 Maintenance
10.1 Cleaning the Print Head
It is recommended that the print head be cleaned after a roll of ribbon is consumed. This should
be done using the print head cleaning pen shipped with the printer or any standard thermal
transfer print head cleaning product (for example, an IPA wipe).
