Printer Operation
The printer is designed to print the Cassette label image that is currently
displayed on the printer display. The front of the unit is a high-definition,
touchscreen display. To operate the unit, press specific areas of the
screen to activate buttons and functions; these functions are intended to
be obvious.
A barcode scanner is built into the front left-hand corner of the printer.
The scanner is motion activated and will project a thin green bar onto
the table surface. This bar is an LED aimer that will indicate the area
where barcodes should be placed in order to read the data from the
barcode into the printer software. Barcodes printed on paper or other
objects can be placed under the scanner for decoding. The barcode
scanner intentionally reads only specific symbologies, by default, Datamatrix, QR and Code
128 will be decoded.
Before attempting to print Cassettes, the hopper will need to be filled with Cassettes, please
refer to the list of approved Cassette types later in the operator guide.
The Cassettes must be loaded with the writing surface to the left and the cassette opening to
the top. Cassettes should not be loaded while the printer is in operation.
To print a Cassette, press the play button on the clear area of the displayed Cassette image.
