PRINTER CONFIGURATION
The CX400 printers are different from other SATO printers in that they do not use DIP
switches for printer configuration. Instead, all printer configuration isdone via software
commands. The parameters that can be configured are:
• Sensor Calibration
• Protocol Control Codes
• Print Darkness Range
•Sensor Type
• RS232 Parameters
• Label Tear-Off Position
• Backfeed Enable/Disable
Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a Test Label must be
printed to list the active printer settings. This Test Label lists all of the information a user
needs to ascertain the printer configuration. Test Labels can be printed using the <ESC>CT
command or by simultaneously pressing the FEED button while turning the printer on.
