Connecting and installing the printer 

There  are  four  ways  to  connect  the  METAPACE  L-42DT  printer  and  get  it  ready  to  work.  To 
connect it to the computer, use the USB-B cable (enclosed) or the serial cable. To connect it to 
the  network,  use  the  network  cable  (RJ45).  To  use  the  printer  with  several  workstations,  it  is 
recommended to connect it to the local network.   

 

When installing the printer, use the drivers available: 

 

on the enclosed CD or  

 

at the following link:

The  printer  has  two  buttons:  FEED/CANCEL  and  PAUSE,  as  well  as  two  tricolour  LED 
indicators. The LED indicators indicate different operation modes and also signal errors. Use the 
FEED/CANCEL  button  to  move  labels  forward  and  start  testing,  calibration  and  configuration 
(factory default settings). Use the PAUSE button to pause printing. 

If you need help when using the printer, call the call centre (02/2520 333) or send an e-mail to 
[email protected].
