Using the Printer's Internal Labeling Software
5.1.4 Verify Setup, Power Up, and Load Media
Check that all connections are made and that you have correctly
configured DIP switch SW-1. Turn on the CRT first and then the
Printer's power switch. Press the F1 key on the CRT several times. The
CREATE/MODIFY LABEL and PRINT LABEL screens should toggle
back and forth. If they don’t, something is wrong. Check the CRT
settings again, check the interface cable, check that you have power to
both the Printer and CRT, and then try again. Contact your Value
Added Reseller (VAR) or the manufacture if you cannot get the screens
to appear.
You should load the Printer with media at this time.
5.1.5 Install and Configure a Memory Module
Memory modules are used to store label formats, graphics, or a
combination of both. At least one memory module is required to
operate the internal labeling software program. Properly configured, up
to 50 typical label formats can be stored in each module.
To install a module and configure it for use, follow these steps:
1. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to turn the module’s Write
Protect Switch to the OFF position. Label formats cannot be sent to
the module if the switch is in the ON position. Later, to prevent
accidental changes or modifications to formats, you will probably
want to turn the Write Protect Switch back to the ON position.
2. Open the front door of the Printer.
3. Place the module in the Memory Module Bay to the left bottom of
the front of the Printer. The label side should be facing up and the
printing upside down. Press the module firmly into place and shut
the front door of the Printer.
