DISPLAYED ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
CUTTER Controls the Cutter operation, where:
MODE Sets the detection method and response of the printer:
AUTO Is the default setting, where the presence of the cutter option is automatically
sensed. If detected, the cutter is enabled; otherwise, it will be ignored.
ENABLED Enables the cutter. If the cutter is not detected, a fault will be generated.
DISABLED Disables the cutter.
CUT BEHIND Allows a queue of small labels to accumulate before cutting is performed to
increase throughput.
(1) This mode can be used without a cutter to allow the presentation of
an extra label with retraction upon the next job or feed operation.
(2) After a fault or unknown label position, the leading edge will be cut
to ensure no extra material exists at the beginning of the first label;
otherwise, the cutter will only cut when necessary.
(0 – 2)
0
Zero, one, or two are the number of labels to queue before cutting; and
Is the default setting.
GPIO PORT
Controls the optional Applicator Interface Card’s GPIO function, where:
GPIO DEVICE Sets the option to work with a specific device type, where:
DISABLED Disables the option.
APPLICATOR
Enables parameters for related label applicator functions:
• Completion upon last SOP, de-asserts Data Ready (DRDY);
• FEED allowed at any time; and,
• DRDY upon PAUSE.
APPLICATOR2
Enables parameters for alternate label applicator functions:
•
Completion upon 1 msec. overlap of Data Ready (DRDY) and End of Print (EOP);
• DRDY signal end inhibits FEED; and,
• De-asserts DRDY upon PAUSE or FAULT.
BARCODE
VERIFIER
Enables the GPIO Port to work with a bar code verifier.
START OF PRINT Selects the type of input signal required to initiate Start of Print (SOP), where:
LOW PULSE Triggers printing with a low pulse.
HIGH PULSE Triggers printing with a high pulse.
ACTIVE LOW Triggers printing with a low signal.
ACTIVE HIGH Triggers printing with a high signal.
EDGE Triggers printing with a signal edge transition.
END OF PRINT Sets the type of output signal generated to indicate End of Print (EOP), where:
LOW PULSE Outputs a low pulse upon completion.
HIGH PULSE Outputs a high pulse upon completion.
ACTIVE LOW Outputs a logic low upon completion.
ACTIVE HIGH Outputs a logic high upon completion.
