Avoiding Loss of Data
!
Attention!
Loss of data!
When correctable errors occur labels/sections which are already printed by the lower printhead but not are
completed by the upper printhead cannot be repeated after error correction. The data of those sections are
lost for the printer.
Avoid predictable error situations.
To avoid the errors "Out of paper" or "Out of ribbon" switch the printer to the Pause state before the
material runs out. Continue the print process by pressing the pause key after re-loading material.
That way the data are saved.
Pause on Media Low
The error "Out of ribbon" can be avoided automatically with the integrated ribbon low warning :
Activate the parameter
Setup > Ribbon > Pause on warning.
Set the rest diameter of the ribbon supply roll with the parameter
Setup > Ribbon > Warn level ribbon
to e.g.
35 mm
.
If the diameter of the ribbon roll falls below the set value the automatically switches to the
Pause
state.

Cutting and Perforating
For devices with cutter only.
Activate the commands for perforation or cut-off in the software.
For direct programming use the following commands:
C p
Perforation command
C
Cut-off command
Both commands may be combined, but C p has a lower priority.
Programming Manual
Using the sequence :
C 3
C p
the material will be perforated two times and afterwards cut off.
Configure the cut parameters
Assembly instructions CSQ 402 or PSQ 403.
i
Note!
The cut parameters are only accessible with cutter installed.
!
Attention!
In several label software solutions the perforation command C p is not implemented. Perforating material
via such a software is not possible.
Adapt the perforation level to the media.
For direct programming use the following command :
O Cn
n...Value between 0.0 and 10.0
i
Note!
If the label software has no setting for the perforation level, i.e. O Cn is not implemented, the adjustment
also may be done using the printer setup
To guarantee the correct length of the first label a cut prior print job is required :
Activate in the printer driver menu
General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup
the setting
"cut before labels"
.
or
For direct programming use the command
C s
