Avoiding Loss of Data
!
Attention!
Loss of data!
The print images for the two colors of one label are printed at two different places in the media feed.
When correctable errors occur labels which are already printed by the printhead for the additional color but
not are completed by the printhead for the main color cannot be repeated after error correction. The data of
those labels are lost for the printer.
Avoid predictable error situations.
To avoid the errors "Out of paper" or "Out of ribbon" switch the printer to the Pause state before the
material runs out. Continue the print process by pressing the pause key after re-loading material.
That way the data are saved.
Pause on Media Low
The error "Out of ribbon" and "Out of paper" can be avoided automatically with the integrated media low warnings :
Set parameter
Setup > Print param. > Pause on media low
to "
On"
.
Set the rest diameter of the ribbon supply roll with the parameter
Setup > Print param. > Warn level
ribbon
to e.g.
35 mm
.
Set the rest diameter of the label supply roll with the parameter
Setup > Print param. > Warn level
labels
to e.g.
90 mm
.
If the diameter of one roll falls below the set value the printer automatically switches to the
Pause
state.

Optimization of the Data Transfer
HermesC is designed for processing large labels. Therefore it is recommended to minimize the data to be transferred.
i.e. to avoid transferring complete label descriptions and to transfer the changing data only :
In the printer driver menu
General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup > Options
the setting
"Force optimi-
zation for all software"
is permanently activated.
or
For direct programming use the replace command
R
for changing data
Programming Manual.
i
Note!
The RS-232 interface is unsuitable for fast transmission of changing data.
Use USB or Ethernet interface for print operation.
