46 User’s Manual—SNAP™ 500 Gen 1 and Gen 2
4.3.5 Setting the Date and Time
The SNAP 500 printer has a built-in clock and calendar. You may change the
date and time as follows:
In the Virtual Control Panel, click on the Options tab. The current printer date
and time is shown. You may change the values in the Date or Time box, or you
can simply click on the Sync to PC button to set the printer to the same date and
time as the PC. Click on Apply or Close to set the printer date and time.
4.3.6 Enabling or Disabling the Cutter
You may disable the cutter in order to use an accessory such as a Rewinder. If
the cutter is enabled, it will cut according to the Cut Count selected in the format.
If the cutter is disabled, it will not cut between labels.
If you have an optional Sonic Knife installed, it will also be
enabled or disabled using this command.
In the Virtual Control Panel, access the Options tab. Click on the arrow in the
Cutter box. Select Enabled to run the cutter or Disabled to turn the cutter off.
4.3.7 Selecting the Print Speed
The print speed is normally set in the format. You may override the format
setting and specify the speed you want the printer to run. This is useful if you
have formats that were designed for other AVERY DENNISON printers.
In the Virtual Control Panel, select the Options tab. Click on the arrow in the
Print Speed box to drop down a menu of print speed choices. Click on the
desired choice and click on Apply or Close to set the print speed.
The available choices are:
• Format – use the print speed specified in the format. If the print speed
does not exist in the SNAP 500 printer, it will use the closest print speed
that is not greater. For example, if the format was designed for a 676
printer and calls for 5 ips, the SNAP 500 printer will use 4.5 ips.
• Translate – uses the corresponding speed from the printer specified in
the format. For example, if the format was designed for a 676 printer and
called for 5 ips (the third speed in the printer’s speed list of 3, 4, and 5
ips), the SNAP 500 printer would use 6 ips, which is the third speed in its
speed list of 3, 4.5, 6, and 7 ips.
• 3, 4.5, 6 or 7 – selects the desired print speed.
