DISPLAYED ITEM

ITEM DESCRIPTION

CONFIGURATION LEVEL

This information is also provided on the Configuration Label.

PRINTER KEY

Identifies the unique key number of the printer, in the form:

vvvv-cwxx-yyyyyy-zzz

, where:

vvvv

-

Represents the printer model number.

cwxx

-

Represents the hardware/software feature level, where:

c

-

Represents the printer class.

w

-

Represents hardware feature level of the main board.

xx

-

Represents the software feature level (10 = standard DPL, and 20 = Internal CG Times

Font). Features are accepted up to this value, but increases beyond the range will

require an authorization code.

yyyyyy -

Is the manufacturing date code.

zzz -

Is a unique time stamp.

APPLICATION

VERSION

Displays the level, version number, and date of the application firmware.

BOOT LOADER

Displays the version level of the boot loaders.

UPGRADE PRINTER

CODE

Upgrades the software feature level of the printer.

UNLOCK FEATURE

Unlocks additional optional features within the printer. (An authorization code is required.)

SET FACTORY DEFAULTS

Returns the printer settings to the factory-programmed values (except CUSTOM ADJUSTMENTS and

calibrations); or, if selected, to the Factory Setting File, where selecting YES at the prompt causes

the configuration to be restored.

FORMAT ATTRIBUTES

Defines the manner in which overlapping text and graphics appear when printed, where:

TRANSPARENT

Intersecting text, images, and bar codes will be printed, for example:

XOR

Intersecting text, images, and bar codes will not be printed, for example:

(Default Setting)

OPAQUE

Intersecting text, images, and bar codes will be printed by obliterating those formatted first, for

example:

LABEL ROTATION

Allows the label format to be rotated 180 degrees before printing, where:

ENABLED

Flips the format.

DISABLED

Does not flip the format. (Default Setting)

IMAGING MODE

Determines the process used to format labels, where:

MULTIPLE LABEL

Images multiple labels as memory permits to achieve the fastest throughput. If time-stamping

labels, however, the indicated time will reflect the moment of imaging rather than the actual print

time. (Default Setting)

SINGLE LABEL

Images the next label only after the previous label has been printed, providing the most accurate

time-stamps but at a slower throughput rate.

PAUSE MODE

Allows for controlled interactive printing, where:

ENABLED

Requires you to press the PAUSE Key to print each label.

DISABLED

Labels are printed without pausing. (Default Setting)

PEEL MODE

Allows the printer to wait until the Start of Print signal is received (via the optional GPIO Port) to

feed a label, where:

ENABLED

Inhibits the feed function until the Start of Print signal is received.

DISABLED

Feeds the label regardless of the Start of Print signal. (Default Setting)

SECURITY

Allows all or part of the User Interface to be password-protected and for that password to be

modified:

SELECT SECURITY

Allows password to be set for specific User Interface areas, where:

DISABLED

No password is required for menu access. (Default Setting)

SECURE MENU

Sets a password requirement for User and Advanced menu entry.

MENU AND TEST

Sets a password requirement for all menu entries.

ADVANCED

MENU

Sets a password requirement for Advanced menu entry. (After enabling this selection, make it

effective by returning the Menu Mode to the User setting; see above.)

MODIFY PASSWORD

Modifies the four-digit password required when security is enabled. For modification, the code must

be reentered when prompted to confirm.

To be activated, the password must initially be set to a value other than the default setting (0000).
