DISPLAYED ITEM  ITEM DESCRIPTION 
CUTTER  Controls the Cutter operation, where: 
MODE Sets the detection method and response of the printer: 
AUTO  Is the default setting, where the presence of the cutter option is automatically 
sensed. If detected, the cutter is enabled; otherwise, it will be ignored.  
ENABLED  Enables the cutter. If the cutter is not detected, a fault will be generated.  
DISABLED Disables the cutter. 
CUT BEHIND  Allows a queue of small labels to accumulate before cutting is performed to 
increase throughput. 
 
 
(1) This mode can be used without a cutter to allow the presentation of 
an extra label with retraction upon the next job or feed operation. 
 
(2) After a fault or unknown label position, the leading edge will be cut 
to ensure no extra material exists at the beginning of the first label; 
otherwise, the cutter will only cut when necessary.  
 
(0 – 2) 
0 
Zero, one, or two are the number of labels to queue before cutting; and   
Is the default setting. 
GPIO PORT 
 
Controls the optional Applicator Interface Card’s GPIO function, where:  
GPIO DEVICE  Sets the option to work with a specific device type, where:  
DISABLED Disables the option. 
APPLICATOR 
 
Enables parameters for related label applicator functions: 
• Completion upon last SOP, de-asserts Data Ready (DRDY); 
• FEED allowed at any time; and, 
• DRDY upon PAUSE. 
APPLICATOR2 
 
Enables parameters for alternate label applicator functions: 
• 
Completion upon 1 msec. overlap of Data Ready (DRDY) and End of Print (EOP); 
• DRDY signal end inhibits FEED; and, 
• De-asserts DRDY upon PAUSE or FAULT. 
BARCODE 
VERIFIER 
Enables the GPIO Port to work with a bar code verifier. 
 
START OF PRINT   Selects the type of input signal required to initiate Start of Print (SOP), where:    
LOW PULSE  Triggers printing with a low pulse.  
HIGH PULSE    Triggers printing with a high pulse. 
ACTIVE LOW  Triggers printing with a low signal.  
ACTIVE HIGH  Triggers printing with a high signal.   
EDGE Triggers printing with a signal edge transition. 
END OF PRINT   Sets the type of output signal generated to indicate End of Print (EOP), where:   
LOW PULSE   Outputs a low pulse upon completion.  
HIGH PULSE  Outputs a high pulse upon completion. 
ACTIVE LOW  Outputs a logic low upon completion. 
ACTIVE HIGH  Outputs a logic high upon completion.
