Windows Drivers

Windows drivers are also provided on the Label Wizard SE CD-ROM.
They let you print labels from virtually any Windows application program.
The driver is loaded like any other Windows printer driver. The various driv-
ers for Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT operating systems
are located in the Win_dvr directory on the Label Wizard SE CD-ROM.

After the driver is installed, you can send data to the CL408/412 just like
any other printer on your system: simply specify CL408 (or CL412) in the
Print dialog box of your Windows application. Printer configuration is man-
aged using the Advanced dialog box. To print bar codes, you must first de-
fine a bar code font using the Barcodes dialog box. Documentation
describing how to load, configure and use the Windows driver is contained
on the CD-ROM.

Windows drivers are very convenient for printing limited numbers of labels
or simple production jobs. However, they can also be very inefficient in the
way they transfer data. For example, if you choose a printer resident font,
the printer responds very quickly. However, if you specify a Windows True-
Type font, it is transmitted to the printer in a graphics format that results in
large data transfers to the printer, slowing down the printer response time. It
is always best to use a Label Design program that supports all of the fea-
tures of the SATO printer being used, thereby increasing the efficiency of
the operation and ensuring optimum response time.

What to do if the printer won’t function

Printer won’t go On-Line

Is the Power LED on? Check the power cable and AC Fuse.

There is an error condition. Make sure the Head Latch is closed.

Printer beeps and refuses to print

This is usually caused by an incorrect data stream. Try placing the
printer in the Hex Dump mode and printing a copy of the data being
sent to the printer. Examine the incoming data a stream for incorrect
command usage. Refer to the Operator and Technical Reference
Manual 
for explanations of proper command usage.

Printer does not print when I send it data.

Check the interface cable to make sure it is connected to the correct
port on the PC.

If you are using the serial interface, verify that the baud rate of the
host matches that of the printer.
