Print Control

As the direct print module is always in control mode, print orders can only be transmitted but not started via the existing
interfaces (serial, parallel, USB or Ethernet). The print is started by a start signal to the 'print start-control input'. So that the
control unit detects when the start signal can be set, it is possible and mostly necessary to track the print status via the control
outputs.

Initial Operation


After all connections are completed, switch on the control unit.
The main menu appears which shows the model type, current date and time.

Insert the ribbon cassette. After loading the transfer ribbon cassette the measuring of transfer ribbon begins and the
printhead is moved to the print position.
