PRINTING
This chapter explains how to
♦ print, pause, cancel, and repeat a batch.
When the printer receives print data, batches begin printing automatically. Your System
Administrator can use the Packet Reference Manual to create, store, and download the
data necessary to print batches. Monarch® MPCL™ Toolbox Utilities are available on our
Web site. You can also purchase label creation software.
Printing
Before you print
♦ load supply
♦ connect the printer to a host (a PC or a network)
♦ make sure the printer is ready to receive data.
1. Turn on the printer – it is ready when you see:
2. Download a format and a batch.
3. The printer prints the batch (print job). Check the bar code print quality.
A bar code that is in spec has complete bars, clear spaces, and small alphanumeric
characters look complete. An in
spec bar code may not look as
good as one that is too dark, but
it has the highest scan rate.
If
the print is too dark/light or there
are voids, see “
Adjusting the
Print Quality” for more
information.
