Command Default Settings; Printer Configuration - SATO CX208 Programming Manual

COMMAND DEFAULT SETTINGS

There are some types of commands that must have a value specified before a label
can be printed. If the data stream does not contain these commands, a "default" value
is assumed. The commands and the corresponding default values are:
COMMAND
Print Rotation
Vertical Reference Point
Horizontal Reference Point
Character Pitch
Base Reference Point
Character Expansion
Print Darkness
Print Speed
NOTES:
(1) The settings for these commands will revert to the default value when the printer
receives an <ESC>Z or an <ESC>*.
(2) These values transmitted with these commands will remain in effect until a new
command is received.

PRINTER CONFIGURATION

The CX208/212 printers are different from other SATO models in that they do not use
DIP switches for printer configuration. Instead, all printer configuration is done via
software commands. The parameters that can be configured are:
Sensor Calibration
Protocol Codes
Print Darkness Range
Sensor Type
RS232 Parameters
Label Tear-Off Position
Backfeed Enable/Disable
Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a Test Label
can be printed that lists the active settings in the printer. This Test Label lists all of
the information a user needs to ascertain the printer configurtation. Test Labels can
be printed out by sending a command via software (Configuration Commands) or by
using the FEED and On-Line/Off-Line Indicator buttons on the control panel (see
Page 7 of the CX208/212 User's Guide).
