printing is resumed from the place 
/text part in which the printer was 
drawn back. 
The 

Shaft direction

 parameter is 

available in the 

Advance

 tab sheet 

after the 

Adv. options

 box has been 

ticked. If the parameter is set to 

Disabled

, the printer will produce 

labels in either direction.

In order to ensure that printing is 
resumed exactly in the place where it 
was interrupted, the lower roll,

the surface to be labelled on a con-
tinuous basis.

 

How to Transfer/Save Text Files 
to/in the Printer 

See figur

F

. In order to send a text 

and print parameters to the printer, 
you need to click the 

 key or 

use the command 

Send text and 

parameters

 from the 

Printer control

 

menu. Wait until an 

O.K.

 message is 

displayed in the transmission status 
window. 

!

 

If you use the extended parameter 
panel (which is available after the

Adv. options

 

box has been ticked), 

the 

 key has a different 

function. When such a panel is used 
and text is sent to the printer, the text 
file is not saved in the printer’s non-
volatile memory at the same time. If 
the printer is switched off the text file 
is lost. In order to save the text file in 
the non-volatile memory press the 

 key or use the 

Save text 

and parameters

 command from the 

Save text and parameters

 

menu. If 

you do that and switch the printer off 
and on, the text will be immediately 
ready for printing.
