Quick Change Memory Cartridge (QCMC)

- This cartridge option

provides an easy way to copy a printer’s firmware and configuration
settings from one printer to another. A “snapshot image” of the
source printer is stored on the QCMC and a simple interface is
provided to copy that image to a target printer. Once the image has
been copied to the target printer, the two printers will be identically
configured. The QCMC has its own resident network MAC address
that will be used in place of the printer’s LAN/WLAN MAC address
when the cartridge is left installed in a printer (see “Quick Change
Memory Cartridge (QCMC)” on page 230).

When left installed in the printer, the QCMC adds approximately

24 MByte of Flash memory.

Full Media Rewinder:

In batch rewind mode, rewinds printed labels into

a removable roll.

Label Taken Sensor:

Detects presence and removal of labels in Peel-Off

mode. Included only with the Standard Peel without Liner Rewinder or
Standard Peel with Liner Rewinder options.

Media Cutter:

Automatically cuts printed media when the media exits the

printer.

Network Interface Card (NIC):

Allows you to attach the printer to a LAN

(Local Area Network) rather than attaching it directly to a host computer.
The PrintNet Enterprise Suite (PNE) remote management software is
standard with this option.

NIC adapters are available as user installable option, mounted inside the
printer with the 10/100Base-T (UTP) connection only.

NOTE:

In this manual, the terms Network Interface Card (NIC) and Ethernet
are used interchangeably.

NIC, Wireless:

Provides wireless 802.11b/g connectivity without

expensive cabling and reconfigurations required from a wired network.
PNE is standard with this option.

Real Time Clock:

A clock chip with internal battery that keeps track of the

year, month, day, hour, minute, and second values. It continues to
operate when the printer is off.

RFID MP2 (Standard Pitch) Encoder:

The RFID (Radio Frequency

Identification) UHF encoder reads and writes information to smart labels
(with embedded RFID tags) with a pitch typically two and six inches.
These labels are used on shipping cartons and pallets.

RFID Short Pitch Encoder:

The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

UHF encoder reads and writes information to the smart labels (with
embedded RFID tags) with a pitch of one to two inches. The RFID inlay is
usually short in length and constructed into an item level label.

Standard Peel with Liner Rewinder

: In label peel-off mode, peels off

labels one at a time before printing the next label and rewinds the liner
into a discardable roll.

Standard Peel without Liner Rewinder:

The Peel-Off mode peels labels

while discarding the dispensed liner in front of the printer.
