Intelligent Control of Hand
Movement
The printer system controls the print-
ing process and makes it impossible
to produce a misprint should the op-
erator’s hand or the printer be with-
drawn by chance. The control is en-
abled if the
Shaft direction
parame-
ter is set to
Compatible with printing
direction
or
Contrary to printing
direction
(depending on whether objects are
labelled from left to right or from right to left)
.
The system detects every withdrawal
of the printer automatically and sus-
pends printing. After the printer has
returned to its proper position, 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 printer needs to have contact with
the surface to be labelled on a con-
tinuous basis.
How to Transfer/Save Text Files
to/in the Printer
See figure
. 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.
How to Change a Text File

Every text file can be changed in two
ways.

ers memory by clicking the
