A. Introduction
When powered up for the first time, your brand new BMP
®
91
printer will prompt you to select a) Media Type and b)
Application. After this, each new editing job will be based on
these default settings.
Upon subsequent power-on however, the printer will autoload the
last editing job (with its media settings) that was in the Tag Editor
before the last power-off. This will happen even when the current
medium may be different from the last medium and even if the last
job was a blank one (with a blank tag), the printer will still load it.
Therefore, the instructions in this chapter are written with the
assumption that the Media Type and its Application have already
been chosen/confirmed. If you want to change the media/
application and need detailed instructions, please see the “F. To
Change the Media Type and Its Application” section in “Chapter
3. Printing on Selected Medium”.
Shorthand used in this chapter: E.g. This instruction,
“Enter [Menu] > Quick Keys > Tag > Properties”
means “Press [Menu]; then select Quick Keys and
press [OK]; next select Tag and press [OK]; and
finally select Properties and press [OK]”.
B. What is a Tag?
Before you can print anything on a tube/label with the BMP
®
91
printer, you must use the Tag Editor on the LCD screen to enter the
characters (and serial numbers, barcodes or other symbols, if any)
to something known as a “tag”.
Just what is a “tag”? On this printer, a “tag” is basically a
printable space with default and changeable properties. When
printed, each tag usually corresponds to one segment on the
tube/label. If multiple copies of the same “tag” are printed, a
“tag” will then correspond to multiple segments on the tube/label.
