The first device test
Settings for the material type
The parameter settings described below provide the device with the necessary
information about the label material used. When printing from a layout pro-
gram, these settings are usually provided automatically by the device driver.
For your first test prints, you need to configure them manually.
Material type The label material is “endless”, which means that it contains no punches/per-
forations, breaks or reflex marks that could be recognised by the punch sen-
sor:
« Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to “endless”.
The label material contains punches, breaks or reflex marks that can be rec-
ognised by the punch sensor (referred to as “punched” material):
« Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to “Punched”.
Material length « Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Length to the length of the material
(in mm).
Material width « Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Width to the width of the material (in mm).
Only for punched/perforated material:
Type of punch Label material with breaks or punches:
« Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Light sens. type to “Punched”.
Label material with reflex marks:
« Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Light sens. type to “Reflex”.
Setting parameters : see topic section „Info-Printouts and Parameters“,
chapter “Using the Parameter Menu”.
Printing the status report
A status report printout is a perfectly adequate device test. The width of the
status printout can be set to 100 mm or 50 mm. This should match the width of
the label material used. The length of the printout is 200 mm.
100 mm width « Navigate to PRINT INFO > Printer status.
The printout that is triggered spans a label length of 2x 200 mm, listing all of
the device’s current parameter settings.
50 mm width « Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Print Info Mode to “Compact right”.
« Navigate to PRINT INFO > Printer Status.
The printout that is triggered contains the same information as the wider print-
out, compressed to a width of 50mm.
