Text sequences marked by this symbol must be noted and observed under all circumstances since any misuse could injure the operator or damage the equipment.

  • Page 8: Operation

    In the Offline mode the link between printer and computer is interrupted, i.e. no data can be received and printed. In the Setup mode you can either select the printer menu or carry out the so-called quick-switch function. The quick-switch option was included so that you can change the most important parameters (character density, font, paper path) directly without having to enter them via the menu.

  • Page 46 List of available barcodes BACK Your printer is equipped with a barcode mode; you can print up to 19 differ- ent barcodes. Barcode mode can be accessed within every emulation. The user can decide whether barcode is activated permanently or activated depending on the situation by means of an escape sequence.
  • Page 47 Barcode 2 - 18 BACK The information to be printed is transmitted in a “bracket” (DC4). A control sequence (Header) defines the parameters of the used barcode once (e.g. type, ratio, etc.). If no header is defined, the information in the “bracket” will be printed in Code 2/5 Matrix.

  • Page 48: Barcode

    The numbers 1 to 5 are printed as Postnet stripes. Certain professional applications may require unusually large character sizes. Therefore your printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to factor 99 by means of control sequences. The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once. This defini- tion remains until the printer is switched off.
