Configuring the Printer

The CL408/412 comes from the factory with all Front Panel and Interface
DSW switches in the Off (or down) position. DSW-1 is located on the Se-
rial RS232 Plug-In Interface card. This configures the printer for the follow-
ing operation:
•
Thermal transfer printing.
•
If an RS232 Serial Interface is installed, it will be set for 9600 BPS,
no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and Ready/Busy Flow Control.
There are no interface settings for the Parallel or USB interfaces.
•
Label sensing set to detect label gaps.
•
Continuous label printing.
Other features can be enabled with different DSW switch combinations.
The function of each DSW switch is listed on a chart on the inside of the
front cover. A more detailed description is provided Section 2 of the Opera-
tor and Technical Reference Manual shipped with the printer. When chang-
ing configuration via the DSW switches, the power to the printer must be
cycled before the new settings become activated.

Computer Connections

The CL408/412 comes with Plug-In Interface card with the appropriate con-
nector. The type of Plug-In Interface card desired is specified at the time of
order and is shipped separately with the printer. It must be installed in the
printer before the computer connection is made.
