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.
About RFID Supplies
RFID supplies can be damaged by static electricity. Ground yourself by touching
metal, such as the printer’s metal base, before handling the RFID supplies.
Note: Printing over the RFID inlay causes printing irregularity and may impact bar code
print quality.
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.
