A. Introduction
When powered up for the first time, your brand new BMP
printer will prompt you to select a) Media Type and b)
Application. After this, each new editing job will be based on
these default settings.
Upon subsequent power-on however, the printer will autoload the
last editing job (with its media settings) that was in the Tag Editor
before the last power-off. This will happen even when the current

medium may be different from the last medium and even if the last
job was a blank one (with a blank tag), the printer will still load it.
Therefore, the instructions in this chapter are written with the
assumption that the Media Type and its Application have already
been chosen/confirmed. If you want to change the media/
application and need detailed instructions, please see the "F. To
Change the Media Type and Its Application" section in "Chapter
3. Printing on Selected Medium".

B. What is a Tag?
Before you can print anything on a tube/label with the BMP
®
printer, you must use the Tag Editor on the LCD screen to enter the
91
characters (and serial numbers, barcodes or other symbols, if any)
to something known as a "tag".
Just what is a "tag"? On this printer, a "tag" is basically a
printable space with default and changeable properties. When
printed, each tag usually corresponds to one segment on the
tube/label. If multiple copies of the same "tag" are printed, a
"tag" will then correspond to multiple segments on the tube/label.
