  • Page 6: Scope

    1 SCOPE This specification describes key operations using both the keys and the LCD of B-EX4T3 and the B-EX4T1/T2/D2 following FW version. B-EX4T1-QM/CN less than C3.2 B-EX4T2 less than C2.0 B-EX4T2-H less than C2.0 B-EX4D2 less than D2.0 2 OUTLINE Key operations are different depending on the printer mode: The online mode in which operations are carried out through the keys and error messages are displayed while the printer is connected to the host such as a PC, and the system mode in which self-diagnosis and setting of various parameters are performed.

  • Page 7: Outline Of Each Mode

    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 its cause, troubleshooting, and the recovery method.

  • Page 8: User System Mode

    4.3 USER SYSTEM MODE The user system mode is accessible from the online mode. This mode is mainly used by users (administrators) or service technicians, and 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, and a dumping function which enables the printer to dump received data.

In the case multiple RFID tags are read at the same time, this menu is useful to focus on a target tag. Set the Q value to “1” or greater (2 is recommended) with the [UP] or [DOWN] key.
