410 Operators Manual
Introduction
The Microcom Corporation model 410 (6 dots/mm version) is a direct thermal label printer with a
640 element, 4.16 inch wide print head. The economic size and price have no effect on the
printer's ability to handle a wide variety of labeling tasks - even the most demanding applications.
The resident Label Design Software (LDS) is a powerful and easy to use package that allows
the user to create personalized label formats. It can be driven from a PC, mini-computer,
mainframe and most special purpose computers.
Among many other features, LDS supports graphics functions and multiple serial numbering. It
offers 18 different text fonts in four rotations and all popular bar code symbologies. Graphic
images can also be loaded into the printer's memory. Fonts, bar codes and graphic images can
be multiplied in size to offer great flexibility in custom designing labels. Once the labels are
designed, they can be stored in printer memory for high speed access.
The 410 is capable of printing on most types of label stock or fax paper. It offers operation in a
tag/tear, peel-and-dispense, batch mode, and user-defined advance mode. It can handle blow-
hole, black-line, label gap and continuous stock.
Many thermal printer applications use the same label format, but change the data on every label.
This is not a problem for the Microcom Corporation model 410 printer. Data may be changed
without down-loading the same fixed format, or fixed data fields, time after time. This increases
data access time and productivity.
Various options are available for the Model 410 printer. Label creation software packages are
offered with database capabilities including quick and easy on-screen label design, custom
fonts, bar codes and graphics.
