Control Frame buttons are located on the left side of the home screen
(Figure 2-3 on page 2-5). This contains buttons (Table 2-3) that stay active
as long as the printer is powered up. These buttons are used for the
immediate control of the printer.
Touch ‘Production Performance’ and ‘Consumables Status’ buttons to go
to the pages that contain further details and statistics about production
throughput and ribbon status (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-4).
Creating and Adding New Jobs
Print jobs are created offline using the CLARiSOFT
®
image design
software that runs on a PC.
This is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) package that enables
you to design the look and feel of a print image and define the content of
special fields such as complex sell by date calculations.
When the job has been designed using CLARiSOFT
®
, it is saved with a
unique job name onto the PC's disc. Jobs are transferred into the local
database by connecting the PC to the printer using an RS232 cable.
Alternatively, the printer has the ability to download a 'Job' database
directly from a USB device. Jobs can be created in CLARiSOFT
®
and saved
onto a USB device, ready for downloading into the printer. This removes
the need to take a lap top into the production area.
