Confi guration

Emulation

Emulation mode lets you print bar code labels that were originally
designed on an 86XX printer in multiples of 10 or 15 mil. When the
printer is working in emulation mode, not all IPL commands are sup-
ported. For a complete list of commands available during emulation
mode, see the latest version of the IPL Programming, Reference Manual
(P/N 066396-XXX).
To return from emulation mode, select emulation "none" (default).

Print Speed

You can select the print speed from 4 in./sec. (100 mm/sec.) to 8 in./sec.
(200 mm/sec.) with an interval of 1 in./sec. The higher the print speed,
the more wear on the printhead, so do not use a higher print speed than
necessary. Some direct thermal media or ribbon/media combinations
may not allow the highest alternatives without the printout quality being
adversely affected.
Cutter (option)
By default, "Not Installed" is displayed. If a cutter is installed, you must
manually indicate that condition to the fi rmware by selecting either
"Enable" or "Disable." Once you have done that, you can also use IPL
commands to enable or disable the cutter:
<STX>R<ETX>
<STX>SIc0<ETX>
<STX>SIc1<ETX>
Label Taken Sensor (option)
To make the printer work in self-strip mode, that is, waiting for a label to
be removed before the next label is printed, the self-strip mode must be
enabled. This can also be done by executing the following commands:
<STX>R<ETX>
<STX><SI>t0<ETX>
<STX><SI>t1<ETX>
If the label taken sensor does not work properly, the sensitivity can be
calibrated in the Setup Mode. Select "LTS Calibration" and follow the
instructions in the display. Make sure that no direct sunlight or interior
lighting interferes with the label taken sensor.
