Operation And Configuration - SATO TH2 Series Operator's Manual

Section 3: Configuration and Operation

OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

Before using the printer, please consult this manual first. Otherwise, you may change default settings upon
which the instructional procedures in this manual are based.
The TH2 Series printer is shipped with standard printer firmware including the standard application SA
(Stand-alone). The stand-alone application is written in the Lua scripting language. This application can be
configured by the user using the operator panel and the LCD of the printer. A users can create label formats,
add data tables and change the printer settings. This section explains these procedures.
Another more efficient way to develop custom applications is to use the Windows application development
tool, AEP Works. Instead of editing on the printer itself, AEP Works is used for this purpose. Label formats,
data tables, printer settings, fonts, images and special Lua functions are created with this tool. The application
is then packaged into an application package file (.pkg file) that can be distributed and downloaded to the
printer.
Additional download utility tools are available for end users to facilitate downloading of applications as
package files to the printer by USB or LAN/WLAN interface and to do modification of the data tables that
resides in the printer. The applications package can also be stored on a SD card which can be used to
updating the printer with a new application.
Note:
When receiving the printer, an application might have been pre-installed by SATO or a partner of SATO. Thus
the actual operation of the printer might be different from what is described in this manual. The section about
the printer setup should still apply but the actual printer setting parameters might have been set differently
from what is described as default values in this manual.
