TURNING ON THE PRINT STATION FOR THE FIRST TIME
To turn the print station on insert the power jack into
the DC power connector.
There is no on/off switch or power

both red and green LED’s will flash
several times indicating a power up
sequence. The LCD on the hand held
controller will be illuminated indicating a power on condition.
The first time the print station is turned on, as received from the factory, the LCD
will look like the illustration above. Each line gives important information
regarding the system:
The Top line indicates the operating mode of the unit: “STOPPED” when in
STOPPED Mode, “ PRINTING” when in PRINTING Mode (DEFAULT), and
“MESSAGE ENTRY” when in message entry mode. The first several characters
on the top line indicated the system type.
The 2
nd
line shows the print head currently selected, the direction of travel for the
product and the programmed SPEED, or encoder divider when using an external
encoder, which only can be viewed in the PRINTING mode.
The lower half of the display shows the message available for printing.
