Chapter 3 Modes of operation
Scanner Mode
Depending on the use of your system, the scanner is able to operate in two different modes –
they are
called read before print (RBP) and read after print (RAP) !
Using the scanner in the RBP mode the infeed module is mounted to the printer. A single
label is introduced into that module in front of the printer. This label is pre printed with a
barcode and the scanner is reading this code. The information, stored in the code, is
transferred into the printer.
An internal data base stored on a special card (called data base card) will be checked for a
matching data stream, if a match is found the data stream information is printed to the label .
To get more information please refer to the card manual.
Using the scanner in the RAP mode – the code is printed by the printer and after that the
scanner is checking the readability (not verify – only read !) .
Not using the scanner you can deselect it – set the menu point to OFF !

User operation
To use the scanner now in the defined mode – you have to program the scanner with the
information regarding barcode type – quantity of barcodes on the label – length of the code
and so on. This is done by sending a special EASY PLUG command to the printer. As well
the error condition has to be programmed.
