2.6.4 OUTLINE OF EACH MODE

This chapter describes the outline of each mode supported by the printer. Refer to each chapter for detailed
information.
2.6.4.1 ONLINE MODE
This mode is mainly used by users (operators).
The label or tag can be issued in the online mode. When an error occurs, the help function shows the
cause of the error, troubleshooting, and recovery from the error. The threshold setting, described
below, is also a part of the online mode.
2.6.4.1.1 Threshold setting mode
Threshold setting mode is provided to correct a print failure with pre-printed media.
When using pre-print label, print start positions may not be detected correctly with the usual media
sensor threshold, depending on the ink type. Such error can be prevented by setting the threshold just
for the pre-printed media to be used. Since the threshold setting value is stored in the non-volatile
memory, it is unnecessary to set the threshold again as long as the same pre-print media is used.
2.6.4.1.2 RFID calibration mode
In the RFID calibration mode, the distance to the optimum tag write/read position and AGC value
required for properly writing/reading data on/from RFID tags are obtained through a calibration, the
obtained values are set on the printer automatically, and they are reflected in the printer operation.
To write/read data on/from RFID tags with the bar code printer, it was necessary to manually set a
distance to the write/read position and an AGC value, used for detecting the target tag, with @003
command and in the system mode. However, these are automatically done in the RFID calibration
mode.
2.6.4.1.3 Information mode
In the information mode, the total feed amount counted during feeding and printing operations is
displayed on the LCD in units of centimeter and inch.
Printing of the feed amount is performed on request.
2.6.4.2 USER SYSTEM MODE
The user system mode is accessible from the online mode. This mode contains parameters and
settings which might be frequently changed by users (administrator) or service persons.
In addition to the functions of parameter setting and fine adjustment (in common with the System
Mode), there are the following additional features, issue condition display function, manual threshold
setting, and system tools menu .
The values set in thiese modes are stored in the non-volatile memory.
2.6.4.3 SYSTEM MODE
This mode is mainly used by service persons or the production department staff for adjustment of the
printer before shipment. System mode contains settingswhich should not be changed so frequently.
In addition to the parameter setting and fine adjustment menus (in common with the User System
Mode), there are sensor adjustment, interface, RFID, RTC and BASIC setting menus.
Other extended functions are self-diagnosis, test print, RAM clear (re-initialize the printer), pre-
shipment adjustments for factory use, and the menu which enables saving parameter settings, external
characters, TPCL commands to an external USB memory stick or copying data from aUSB memory
stick to the printer. The values set in this mode are stored in the non-volatile memory.
2.6.4.4 DOWNLOAD MODE
This mode is used to download boot and main programs.
2.6.4.4.1 AUTO CONFIGURATION MODE
In this mode, the printer firmware is automatically updated with the program stored in a USB
memory stick.
