4 OUTLINE OF EACH MODE

This chapter describes the outline of each mode supported by the printer. Refer to each chapter for detailed
information.

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 an error, troubleshooting, and recovery from the error. The threshold setting, described below, is
also a part of the online mode.

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, detection of a print position may be disabled 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.

4.2 SYSTEM MODE

Turning the power on while holding down the both [FEED] and [PAUSE] keys, or the [MODE] key alone
activates the system mode. This mode is mainly used by service persons or the Production Dept. for
adjustment before shipment. The system mode contains the menus which might be changed not so
frequently.
In addition to the menus common to the User System Mode, such as parameter setting, fine adjustment,
and BASIC setting, there are sensor adjustment, interface, RFID and RTC setting menus.
Furthermore, self-diagnosis, test print, RAM clear to initialize the printer settings, pre-shipment adjustment
for factory use, and the menu which enables saving parameter settings, external characters, TPCL
commands to the external USB memory or copying the data from the USB memory to the printer are
provided. The values set in this mode are stored in the non-volatile memory.

4.3 USER SYSTEM MODE

The user system mode is accessible from the online mode. This mode, mainly used by users
(administrator) or service persons, contains the menus which might be frequently changed.
In addition to the menus common to the System Mode, such as parameter setting, fine adjustment, and
BASIC setting, there are LAN/WLAN setting, auto calibration, dump function which enables the printer to
dump received data.
The values set in this mode are stored in the non-volatile memory.

4.4 DOWNLOAD MODE

This mode is used to download boot and main programs.

4.5 AUTO CONFIGURATION MODE

This mode is used to update printer firmware stored in USB memory.
