Getting Started - Monarch 9400 Series User Manual

1. Getting Started

The 9400™ Series Thermal Printers let you enter your own
format image for printing batches of data. A format is the
arrangement of fields on the supply. Each field is a group of
data that prints in a specific place on the tag or label. The
printer uses both thermal direct or ribbon printing on tags and
labels.
The number of formats you store depends on how many fields
you design into each format. The number and size of your
formats may reduce the number of batches you can enter at
one time.
You can operate this printer offline (manually) or online (with a
computer). The Online feature communicates with your
computer system for transferring data batches and formats to
the printer. For more information about Online see section 4,
"Printing Online."
The flexibility of this printer provides:
Six font styles (three with proportional spacing).
The ability to print three of the font styles in ten different
sizes.
Nine different bar codes (including expanded UPC and
EAN) with variable bar length, and special density
option.
Incrementing or decrementing within a field.
The ability to create sub-fields from a regular field (print
multiple fields from data entered once by the operator).
A merged field for combining data from up to four other
fields.
Fixed data for saving the operator time at data entry.
Two print colors; black and reverse printing.
