POWER MANAGEMENT (continued)
2.Short-Range Radio Control
The short range radio is enabled when DSR line is low
(inactive) or when the host-to-printer cable is discon-
nected. In this case, the printer will attempt to communi-
cate to the host over the short-range radio if the printer is
so equipped. In its active (high) state, the DSR line will
disable the short-range radio, if any, and will communi-
cate over the RX/TX line of the serial port. For printers
that are not equipped with a short-range radio, the host
terminal must still keep the DSR line at an active state.
The printer can be programmed to time-out, and shut
itself off, upon reaching a predefined inactivity period.
The factory default inactivity time-out is 2 minutes. This
setting can be changed using the MP Utilities program ,
the Label Vista application or by sending the following
command to the printer.
! UTILITIES
TIMEOUT n
END
Where n is the inactivity timeout in 1/8 of a second. For
example, n=960 for a 2 minute inactivity timeout (120
seconds X 8).
A timeout of 0 disables inactivity timeout.
PROGRAMMABLE LOW-BATTERY TIMEOUT
The printer can be programmed to timeout, and shut itself
off, upon reaching a predefined period after low battery
condition is detected. The factory default low battery
timeout is 1 minute. This setting can be changed using
the MP Utilities program or the Label Vista application.
