Setting print mode The thermal printer can be controlled in two different ways. The
changeover switch for the print mode is located on the lower
side directly next to the cable entries.
REPRINT mode
This mode enables the “endless” printing of labels which
always have the same printed content. In this mode, only
one label is transmitted to the printer. This label is then
printed automatically. Each time the hanger is pulled down it
activates the “REPRINT” input of the printer. The printer
prints the same label again. The printing data remains stored
in the printer until a new label is sent to it (next job) or the
printer is switched off.
NOTE!
In this mode, it is not possible to print different data
as the label last entered is always printed
.
NUMERATOR mode
This mode allows variable data to be printed on the labels. In
this mode, the number of labels to be printed must be
transmitted to the printer. In its rest position (up), the hanger
activates the “PAUSE” input of the printer. So no labels are
printed. Only when the hanger is pulled down is the
“PAUSE” input released and the printer starts printing until
the hanger comes back up again. The remainder of the print
job is held in the printer and the printing continues when the
hanger signals the next enable.
NOTE!
When all the labels sent have been printed, the
printer stops as no more print data is available.
The hanger is then pulled down by the dispensed
labels and the dispenser is stopped. Therefore
enough labels must be sent to the printer to avoid
this error
