  • Page 19: Media Selection

    The size and type of the labels or tags to be printed should have been taken into consideration before printer purchase. Ideally, the media width will be equal to, or just narrower than, the print head. Using media that does not cover the print head will allow the platen roller to tread on it and wear it out. The media edge will also wear a groove in the platen roller affecting print quality.

    RTS is high and remains high unless the print head is open (in this case, RTS would return to the high state after the print head is closed and the printer is placed back on-line) or an error condition occurs during printing (e.g., ribbon out, label out).
  • Page 25 Figure 3-5, Serial Connector Pin Assignments Communicates with the host to determine if the printer is ready to receive data by sending “XON” (HEX 11H) or “XOFF” (HEX 13H) code to the TD line. The single and multiple item buffers are switchable in the Interface Mode of the printer.

  • Page 26: Ieee1284 Parallel Interface

    IEEE1284 signals are not detected, it will operate in the slower standard Centronics mode. For this reason, an interface cable and host interface conforming to the IEEE1284 specification must be present to fully utilize the speed capabilities. This interface also operates bi-directionally and can report the status of the printer back to the host.

  • Page 27: Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Adapter

    The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is a Plug-In Interface Module that can be installed by the user. It requires a driver (shipped with each printer that has the interface installed) that must be loaded onto the PC and configured to support USB peripherals using Windows 2000 or above.
