Using the Printer's Internal Labeling Software Page - 97
When on the PRINT LABEL screen, the procedure for printing a label is
as follows:
1. Enter the LABEL NAME you want to print and press the RETURN
key. The prompt moves to the QUANTITY position. (If for some
reason the Printer does not find the label name you entered, you will
receive an error message and will have to re-enter the label name.)
The F2 key (LIST) is available when in the LABEL NAME position
to list all names entered in the currently installed memory module.
2. Enter up to a 4-digit number for the quantity you want to print and
press the RETURN key. The maximum number of labels per run is
9999.
3. Depending on how you set up the label, the cursor may have moved
to the INITIAL INCREMENT or INITIAL DECREMENT position
(if a consecutive number or letter was specified as a data type) or to
a prompting position (if a “P” was specified as a data type). Enter
the starting number or the prompt information, followed by the
RETURN key, for each consecutive number or prompt. After this
information is completed, the cursor moves to the SAMPLE?
position.
4. In the SAMPLE? position, you have two choices:
a.
You can print a sample label to check data placement by
pressing the “Y” key for yes. A sample label is then printed and
the prompt returns to the SAMPLE? position. At this point, you
can go to step b. below, or you can stop the run by pressing the
up arrow key to move the prompt back to the LABEL NAME
position. Press the F1 key (SWITCH) to re-edit your format in
the CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen.
b. If you do not need a sample, press the “N” or the RETURN key
for no, and the number of labels you requested will be printed.
After the print job request is sent to the Printer, the prompt
moves back to the LABEL NAME position. Additional print
jobs can now be sent to the Printer or you can go back to the
CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen.
