Paper Menu Introduction
The Paper Menu is a feature that allows the operator to change the printer’s settings without the need of a
host computer or additional software. This document explains how to use the internal Paper Menu and
change the printer settings.
Requirements:
Basic or Advanced E-Class Mark III printer.
Firmware version 14.134 or greater or printer Serial# 4xxxxxxx or greater.
Printer loaded with full width media, at least 4” (102mm) wide.
Accessing the Paper Menu
There are two ways to access the Paper Menu, depending on the state of the printer. The illustrations
below show the sequence of steps for when the printer is already on and when the printer is off. The left
LED blinks green at a 1 second interval once the Paper Menu has been accessed.

Printing the Paper Menu
Because the printer has no display, it is necessary to print the Paper Menu in order to show the available
menu items and the current setting for each one. Be sure the printer is loaded with full width media (and
ribbon if necessary).
To print the menu:
1. Access the Paper Menu as described in the “Accessing the Paper Menu” section.
2. When the left LED is blinking slowly, press the button once and wait 2 seconds.
3. When the right LED glows red, press the button again. The printer will then print the menu.
The printed menu is shown in below. In the printout, ==== (double underscores) indicate the current
setting value, and the LED status is indicated by o (off) and (on). For example, item 4, Input, has three
options – DPL, Auto, EMUL. In the printout below it is shown set to DPL, and the LEDs indicate this – the
left one is o (off), the right one is (on).

Navigating the Paper Menu
An item must be selected before it can be changed. Because the location within the Paper Menu structure
depends on the number of button presses and the amount of time between them, it is recommended that
button presses and pauses be noted before editing is attempted, at least until the system is completely
familiar.
To move through the menu:

the button Left LED flashes orange; focus moves one
item down the list.

the first button press selects menu Item 1.

Special Functions
Items 1 (Prn Menu), 6 (Quick Cal), 10 (Entr Hex Dump) and 11 (Prn Full Config) are special functions.
They work as follows:
1. Two seconds after the item is selected, the right LED will illuminate red.
2. To invoke the function, press the button once. The function will execute immediately, without a 10
second waiting period.
To cancel the function, do not press the button, and wait 10 seconds. The left LED will blink green slowly
to indicate that the top of the Paper Menu has been accessed.
Quick Cal
When Item 6, Quick Cal, is invoked, the paper will start moving immediately. When the function has
completed, the LEDs will display the result as follows:
Passed: Left LED blinks green briefly
Warning: Left LED blinks orange briefly
Fail: Left LED blinks red briefly
Hex Dump
Invoking this function exits the paper menu. To terminate the Hex Dump, cycle power to the
printer.
Menu Exit
To exit the menu, press and hold the button for five seconds, the LED will stop blinking. Then release the
button, the printer will then be ready for normal operation.
When the printer first enters the menu, the printer setting for the Index Mode is set to Continuous Mode
and the Media type is set to Direct Thermal. The two original setting are preserved and restored upon
proper exit from the menu system. If the user exits the menu via a power cycle the original settings will
not be restored and the user will have to manually reset these.
