    If the print quality on the right side of the label appears weak, then lower the print head by turning the screw counter clockwise until the print quality is corrected. If the quality problem appears on the left side, turn the screw clockwise until the print quality is corrected. 466 Operators Manual...

    Corporation. You will not need a NULL-modem cable because the printer is DCE equipment. For parallel connection, use a standard 25 pin to 36 pin Centronics printer cable, connected from the desired parallel port of the host computer to the 36 pin connector on the optional 466 parallel board.

  • Page 21: Chapter 4: Designing Labels Using Lds

    GETTING STARTED There are many different machines that can send information to the 466 printer: For example - main frames, mini-computers, special purpose computers and PC's. However, if you are using the printer for the first time, the easiest way to start is with a PC and a terminal emulation software program.

  • Page 22: Pc Connection (Parallel)

    DOS copy command, first use the DOS mode instruction to configure the PC. For example, MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P). There are some special features offered by the 466 printer that will aid in label design. For example, the auto-size command (^A2^D39?) will provide most of the header format information needed to define the different properties of label stock.

  • Page 23: Formatting Labels: An Overview

    The next three lines are data for each field. Text string #4 is accessed twice. The format will print '01234567890' and then the bar code equivalent. The sequence ^D3? starts the print cycle. (Default is one copy. See section 5.3.2) 466 Operators Manual...
