2.4 Buttons, Indicators and adjustment knobs
Power Indicator
When the printer is in the power-on state, the Power indicator is lit.
On-Line Indicator
This green On-Line indicator is lit when the printer is ready. The On-Line
indicator blinks when in PAUSE mode.
Error Indicator
The red Error indicator illuminates in the event of a printer error, such as
memory full, carriage open, cutter error and so forth.
MENU/SELECT Button
Press the MENU button to enter printer setup mode. Press the MENU button
again to advance the cursor to the next menu item. (Printer Setup, Sensor Setup,
System Setup, File Setup and Printer Test) For more information, please refer to
Appendix 1 for the structure and operation logic of the menu.
PAUSE/EXE/INC Button
This button combines three functions:
A. PAUSE: If the printer is in the Ready status, pressing the PAUSE:
(1) Stops at the completion of printing of the current label
(2) The On-Line LED flashes, and
(3) The printer holds all data in memory. This allows for trouble-free
replacement of label stock and thermal transfer ribbon. A second depression
of the PAUSE button will restart the printer.
B. EXE/INC (Execute/Increment): If the printer is in the setup mode, Press INC
button to increase the value of parameters. Press EXE to execute the
selected item.
FEED/DEC Button
This button also has dual functions.
Press the FEED button and the printer will advance one label.
Press the DEC button to decrease the value of parameters.
Print Head Lift Lever
When the Print Head Lift Lever is opened, the On-Line LED will be turned off, the
5
LCD display shows “Carriage Open” and the red Error light will come on. After
closing the print head lift lever, the On-Line light will blink. Press the FEED button
to re-register the label.
Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob
The Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob offers 6 levels of tension to adjust for
different widths of ribbon. Turn the ribbon tension knob clockwise and you will
hear a light click sound as the gear changes. The levels increase the tension
from 0 to the tightest at 5. You will hear a louder click when level 0 is selected to
indicate reset.
Note: Use the lowest setting possible for longer print head life.
Print Head Pressure Adjustment Knob
The Print Head Adjustment Knobs are used to fine tune print quality for different
thickness of media. Turning the knobs increases or decreases the pressure on
the media by the print head. The knobs should always be set to the same level. If
setting them to different levels fixes a printing problem you should clean the print
head and consider replacing it.

Print Head Burn Line Adjustment Knob
The Print Burn Line Adjustment Knobs are used to fine tune print quality for
different thickness of media. Turning the knobs adjusts the print head’s burn line
forward or backward as it relates to the platen roller.
Caution: incorrectly adjusting these knobs can lead to poor print quality
and may cause damage to the printer. Proceed with caution.
The print head burn line default is set for general purpose printing media (plain
paper and paper thickness less than 0.20mm). The print head moves 0.7mm for
each 360 degree turn. Poor print quality when using paper thicker than 0.20mm
may be due to the print head burn line not being at the optimized position. To
correct this, increase the head pressure and adjust the knobs counter-clockwise
to move print head burn line forward then print again. Continue to adjust and test
print as necessary until the image is clear.
