4.3 Virtual Control Panel

4.3.1 Introduction

PCMate Platinum allows the operator to control the printer and make
adjustments directly from the PC.

The Virtual Control Panel (VCP) shows at the bottom of the PCMate Platinum
screen when a SNAP 500 printer is properly connected.

If more than one printer is connected, select the printer of interest from the
“Printer Selection Box”

The VCP has controls and lights that simulate the printer’s control panel that
work the same way. With no Voice Button, messages are displayed in the
Printer Status box. Start and stop the printer with the Start/Stop button.

The Printer Status boxes show the Batch ID, quantity, and printer status.

Clear the current batch or all batches using the Batch Control buttons on the right
side of the window.
