4.3.8 Selecting the Flagging Mode (VCP Options Tab)
This selection allows you override the flagging mode specified in the format. It is
set in the same way as the Print Speed.
The available selections are:
•
Format – uses the flagging mode specified in the format
•
Side-step – This selection is for the High Volume Stacker, which is not
available for the SNAP 700 printer. Do not select this.
•
Disabled – Disables flagging. No flagging will be done.
4.3.9 Selecting the Sense Mark Type (VCP Options Tab)
This selection allows you to override the sense mark type (none, top reflective or
bottom reflective) selected in the format. Its main purpose is to allow you to
activate the optional Contrast Sensor, since older formats or formats for other
AVERY DENNISON printers will not have the Contrast Sensor type.
This option is set in the same way as Print Speed.
The available selections are:
•
Format – use the sense mark type specified in the format
•
Top Reflective, Bottom Reflective, Contrast – selects the sensor type
• Disabled – ignores the sense mark. This is useful when designing a
format using blank tape to avoid wasting the more expensive pre-printed
tape.
The printer does not detect whether the Bottom Reflective
or Contrast Sensor is installed. If you select a sensor type
that is not installed, the printer will not print properly.
4.3.10 Setting the Default Transfer Type (VCP Options Tab)
The transfer type specifies the type of tape and ink that is being used. For
example, transfer type 97 is 4800TWT fabric with CT1111 ink. The transfer type
tells the printer how much energy is needed to print when using that tape and ink.
See Appendix 2 for a list of available transfer types.
Be sure to specify the transfer type in the format. However, if a transfer type is
not specified in the format, the printer uses the default transfer type.
PCMate Platinum always includes the transfer type in the
format. If you are using PCMate Platinum, you do not
need to specify a default transfer type.
