3.5 Option Menu System
The Option Menu System allows you to
• Print test labels
• Set the voice volume.
When the instructions say to press a button, press the
button for a short time and release it. When the
instructions say to press and hold a button, press the
button and hold it down until the printer responds.
When you are in the Option Menu System, you can get out
by pressing and holding the Voice button until the printer
says “Returning to print mode.”
Use the Start/Stop and Voice buttons to move through the Option Menu System.
Each time you press a key, a voice message will follow, or the machine will
initiate or stop an action. Regardless of which of the three functions you want to
select in the Option Menu System, you select it the same way:
1. Press and hold the Voice button for about two seconds: “Press Start for Test
Pattern.”
2. If you do not want to run a test pattern, press the Voice button: “Press Start
for Demos.”
3. If you do not want to listen to the demos, press the Voice button: “Press Start
to Set Volume.”
4. If you do not want to change the speaker volume, press the Voice button:
“Returning to Print Mode.” At this time the Option Menu System is complete
and the printer is back to normal operation.
For more information on how to use each of the three possibilities in the Option
Menu System, refer to sections for Running Test Labels; Using Voice Demos;
and Setting /Adjusting Voice Button Volume.
3.5.1 Running Test Patterns
Your SNAP 500 printer offers you two test patterns to run before you proceed to
production.
Test Pattern 1, consisting of a solid line down the middle on the front and back
of the label and a solid line across the web that is exactly 1” from the cut. This
test pattern is helpful in adjusting your print position to compensate for
mechanical tolerances in the printer.
Test Pattern 2 more closely resembles an actual label and can be used to make
adjustments to the print head pressure and contrast.
When you have determined which Test Pattern you wish to operate, use the
appropriate procedure.
