Configuration Setup
Emulation
Emulation mode lets you print bar code labels that were
originally designed on an 86XX printer in multiples of 10 or 15
mil. When the printer is working in emulation mode, not all IPL
commands are supported. For a complete list of commands
available during emulation mode, see the the IPL Programmer’s
Reference Manual.
Default emulation mode is “none”.
Print Speed
You can select the print speed from 2 in./sec. (50 mm/sec.) to 6
in./sec.(100 mm/sec.) with an interval of 1 in./sec. The higher
the print speed, the more wear on the printhead, so do not use a
higher print speed than necessary. For some direct thermal media
or ribbon/media combinations, setting the highest print speed
may reduce print quality significantly.
Cutter (option)
Once a cutter has been installed in the printer, it must also be
enabled in the firmware. IPL commands are used to enable/
disable the cutter in configuration mode:
<STX>R<ETX> Enter print/configuration mode
<STX>SIc1<ETX> Enable cutter
<STX>SIc0<ETX> Disable cutter
Label Taken Sensor
To make the printer work in Peel off (self-strip) mode, that is,
waiting for a label to be removed before the next label is printed,
the self-strip mode must be enabled. This can be done by
executing the following commands:
