Each “Config Set” (1, 2 or 3) can contain completely different configuration settings for all menu parameters. For example, “Config Set 1” could be configured for 5 ips print speed, thermal transfer labels, print darkness 18. “Config Set 2” next could be 8 ips continuous card media with black mark, print darkness 12. The ability of having three sets of settings is ideal for someone who prints on different media types regularly, for example in a label printing bureau. Global config settings can be printed using the “Test Menu, Print Pattern, Global Config” menu option. It will also display the currently active “Config Set”: Global Menu Settings Active Configuration Setting Config 1 Config 2 Config 3 [PageSetup Menu] Print Speed Print Darkness Darkness Adjust Print Method Continuous Media Length Vertical Position Horizontal Shift Vertical Image Shift Sensor Select Media Sensor Small Media Adjustment Small Media Length Symbol Set [System Setup Menu] Sensor Level Paper End Level Cover Open Sensor Buzzer Select Metric/Inch Max Media Length Settings Lock Keyboard Lock Control Code Emulation Select [After Print Menu] AutoConfigure Function Select Cutter Action Paper Position Menu Key Action 5 18 +00 TT 04.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch Rear Adj Sen See Through Off 1.00inch PM 8 12 +00 TT 04.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch Rear Adj Sen Reflect Off 1.00inch PM 7 12 +00 TT 04.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch +0.00inch Rear Adj Sen See Through Off 1.00inch PM 1.7V 2.80V Off On Inch 10.00inch Off Off STD DM4 1.7V 2.80V Off On Inch 10.00inch Off Off STD DM4 1.7V 2.80V Off On Inch 10.00inch Off Off STD DM4 On Tear Backfeed +0.00inch Enters Menu On Tear Backfeed +0.00inch Enters Menu On Tear Backfeed +0.00inch Enters Menu 36 Printer Operation Mode Settings [Datamax Emulation] Menu Setting Table Page Setup Menu - allows you to change settings related to the media or print quality.

If the print quality is inferior because of the different type of media, adjust the printhead position in the following manner: Self Print Mode (p.30) When using standard labels, or thermal media 1. Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset the printhead offset so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the media thickness adjustment screw with a screwdriver. Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four times counterclockwise with a screwdriver. (Factory setting: two turns.) 2. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print. Self Print Mode (p.30) When using thick media (tags or other media) 1. Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset the printhead position so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the media thickness adjustment screw with a screwdriver. 2. Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four times clockwise with a screwdriver. 3. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print. Media thickness adjustment screw Media thickness check window The relationship between the printhead heating element and the media thickness check window is shown below: Printhead position for labels Media thickness adjustment screw a Printhead heating element Platen Printhead position for tags Media thickness adjustment screw Printhead heating element b Platen 49 Media thickness check window Media thickness check window 3 Printer Adjustments Media Width Adjustment Installing the Media (p.24) Self Print Mode (p.30) The printer is already factory-set to the value of media width: 112 mm (4.4 in). When you use narrow media, adjust the printhead pressure in the following: 1. Looking in at the check window on the upper frame, align the mark (the left end of white plastic) with the width of media by turning the media width adjustment knob. (The printhead must be closed.) 2. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print. When the print on right side is too light: Move the mark (white) to the right side by turning the media width adjustment knob clockwise. When the print on the left side is too light: Move the mark to the left side by turning the media width adjustment knob counterclockwise. Media width check window Check window Media width adjustment knob Width of media 25.4 mm 1 in 50.8 mm 2 in 76.2 mm 3 in 101.6 mm 4 in When ribbon wrinkles or media screws with media width of 4 in or more Factory setting 50 Printer Adjustments Adjusting the Ribbon Setting the Ribbon (p.26) Ribbon tension in this printer is already adjusted for the recommended ink ribbon and media and is very tolerant to different types of media. However, it may slip due to imperfect combinations of ribbon and media and it is possible that you will see a “Ribbon End” message even though the ribbon is not finished. This is more likely to happen with narrow width ribbons, especially those less than 50mm (2 inches). To resolve this problem and obtain the optimum printing condition, make adjustments in the following manner (this should be done after the printhead pressure adjustments on the previous page are made): Adjusting Places Winding section Feeding section adjust-screw adjust-screw When turning adjust-screw, use a flat-tip screwdriver. Adjusting Method 1. General ribbon and media Factory setting: both marks on winding and feeding sections are set to STANDARD so as to obtain the optimum printing condition for the recommended ink ribbon and media. Winding section TENSION Feeding section STANDARD LOW TENSION STANDARD LOW SUPER LOW 51 3 Printer Adjustments Adjusting the Ribbon 2.

Winding section Feeding section TENSION STANDARD LOW TENSION STANDARD LOW SUPER LOW 4. When ribbon is broken during printing Ribbon may be broken if it is narrow in width and printhead heat temperature is high. In that case, set the mark on the feeding section to SUPER LOW and set the mark on the winding section to LOW by turning adjust-screw respectively. Note: If the problem is still not resolved, please contact our service personnel. Winding section Feeding section TENSION STANDARD LOW TENSION STANDARD LOW SUPER LOW 52 Printer Adjustments Moving the Adjustable Sensor Operating procedure Menu Setting Table (p.37) Ensure the adjustable sensor is selected.

Note: Always use the head cleaner when cleaning the thermal printhead. Thermal printhead Head cleaner To clean the entire surface of the platen, rotate the platen little by little with your thumb using a cheese cloth. Do not touch the platen with your bare hands. Ribbon guide roller Guide shaft Platen Caution Do not use any solvent other than ethyl alcohol. Solvents such as benzene, acetone and thinner will dissolve plastic parts and destroy the thermal printhead, platen and much of the printer! Try to avoid using "excessive amounts" of ethyl alcohol to clean the platen. Excessive use will harden the platen surface prematurely. 54 4 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter explains corrective actions taken when the printer malfunctions or when an error message is displayed. Items to check when a malfunction occurs When the printer malfunctions during operation, take corrective action with reference to the following table. If the corrective action does not solve the problem, consult with the service personnel at the dealer where you purchased the printer.

NIBBLE mode Nibble mode is asynchronous reverse channel communication with data transmission controlled by the host computer. In reverse channel transmission, the data is nibble transmitted in two parts using four status lines (Fault, Select, PE, and Busy). And nibble mode can be used along with compatible mode to send data in two directions. ECP mode ECP mode permits bi-directional asynchronous data transmission, and thanks to its interlock handshake, it does not require the timing necessary with compatible mode.
