1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Thank you very much for purchasing this bar code printer. The attractive printer

delivers superior performance at an economical price. Both powerful and easy-to-

use, this printer is your best choice.

The printer offers both thermal transfer and direct thermal printing at user

selectable speeds: either 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 IPS (Inch Per Second) for 203 DPI

model; 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 IPS for 300 DPI model. It can accept a wide range of

media, including roll feed, die-cut, and fan-fold labels for both thermal transfer

and direct thermal printing. All of the most frequently used bar code formats are

available. Fonts and bar codes can be printed in any one of the four directions.

This printer provides a choice of five different sizes of alphanumeric fonts. By

using font multiplication, an even greater range of sizes is possible. Smooth fonts

can be down-loaded from the user friendly, Windows labeling software. In

addition, this printer is capable of independently executing BASIC programming

functions, including arithmetic, logical operation, loop, flow-control and file

management, among others. This programming capability provides the greatest

efficiency in label printing. The status of printer and error messages can be

displayed on the LCD screen. Unlike its predecessors, this model features an

LCD screen to facilitate the operation of the printer. This new feature enables the

user to view printer status or set printing parameters directly on the printer unit in

English, Chinese, Japanese, Italian…etc., making interfacing with the printer all

the more simple and viable!

2.4 Buttons and Indicators

POWER Indicator

The green POWER indicator illuminates when the power switch is turned on.

ON-LINE Indicator

The green ON-LINE indicator illuminates when the printer is ready to print. When

the PAUSE button is pressed, the ON-LINE indicator flashes.

ERROR Indicator (Error/Paper Empty)

The red ERROR indicator illuminates in the event of a printer error, such as

paper empty, ribbon empty, out of memory, and so forth. For a full list of error

messages, please refer to Section 4.2, Troubleshooting Guide.

MENU Button

Provided with a built-in menu, the printer allows the user to directly set printing

parameters or view printer status on the LCD display panel. To enter the Menu

mode, press the MENU button. Press the button over again to proceed form one

menu item to another or to revert to the original Ready status. The menu is

comprised of these major items: Printer Info, File List, Memory Info, Date/Time,

and Printer Setup. Each of said items, in turn, is made up of a number of sub-

items, which can be selected by pressing the SELECT button, or viewed or set

by pressing the SET button. Refer to Appendix for the structure and operation

logic of the menu.

PAUSE/SELECT Button

This button combines two functions: PAUSE if the printer is in the Ready status,

or SELECT if in the Menu mode.

The PAUSE button allows the user to hold a print job and then resume the

printing with a second depression of the button. By pressing the PAUSE button:

(1) the printer stops at the completion of printing of the current label, (2) the

PAUSE LED flashes, and (3) the printer holds all data in memory. This allows for

trouble-free replacement of label stock and thermal transfer ribbon. A second

depression of the PAUSE button will restart the printer.

Note: If the PAUSE button is held down for more than 3 seconds, the

printer will be reset and all data of the previous printing job will be lost.

The SELECT button allows the user select for the sub-item to be processed.

Once the sub-item has been selected, the user can change its setting by press-

ing the SET button.

FEED/SET Button

As does the PAUSE/SELECT button, this button also has dual functions: FEED

and SET.

Press the FEED button for label to advance to the next print position.

Press the SET button to change parameter settings or view printer status on the

LCD screen.
