PL1200 Thermal Transfer Printer
Introduction
The second switch found directly below the ‘LABEL ADVANCE’ switch is the ‘LABEL RETRACT’
switch. These switches have a purple arrow that points backwards. Each time this switch is
depressed, the next label to be dispensed for pick up will be retracted in approximately .005-
inch increments.
The switch in the lower right corner of the switch bank is the ‘STOP’ switch. When this switch is
depress the labeling unit is reset. Once this switch is depressed you will notice the ‘CAL’
(calibration) switch LED will begin blinking. This indicates the labeling unit has been reset and a
calibration sequence needs to be performed. The button located in the left center of the switch
bank is the ‘CAL’ switch. This switch when depressed will initiate the calibration sequence and
advance the labels. It is during calibration that the labels are measured and aligned for printing.
Three or more labels will be dispensed at this point.
When the PL1200 series-labeling unit is powered up, the ‘STOP’ switch is pressed or an error
condition is encountered, the LED indicator on the ‘CAL’ switch will start blinking. This is to alert
the operator that a calibration sequence needs to be performed. Once the ‘CAL’ switch has been
depressed, the LED indicator light will stay on until the next time a power sequence or reset has
occurred, or when label adjustments are being made which will require a calibration sequence be
performed.
Above the ‘CAL’ switch on the switch bank is the ‘PRINT’ nudge switch. When depressed it will
initiate a print command to the labeling unit and a label is ready to print.
In the second mode, the function of the switches is different, as denoted by the horizontal label
above each switch. By depressing and holding down the ‘SHIFT’ switch, and then depressing one
of the ‘LABEL PRESNTATION’ switches, the operator can adjust the print on the label, in relation
to the leading edge of the label.
