The printer can be set to automatically go into the online mode when powered on. Otherwise, the
printer starts in the offline state and must be manually placed online before it is ready to print.
Print offset refers to the vertical and horizontal shifting of the entire print area relative to the label
and the print start position. The movement is incremental by dots in the positive (+) or negative
(-) direction. Postive and negative vertical adjustment is toward and away from the print head
respectively. Positive and negative horizontal adjustment is to the left and right of the reference
point respectively.
Determines whether the print data code requires deletion. Hexadecimal graphic data will not be
deleted. Select YES to delete all carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) commands in the data
stream - including graphics and 2D barcodes.
This feature is primarily used to maintain compatibility with earlier models of SATO printers.
This setting determines whether each character occupies a designated space (fixed) regardless
of the character’s width, or if the character’s space is representative of its width (proportional).
Proportional is contemporarily preferred.
This feature allows the operator to determine if the cover-open sensor is enabled or disabled. If
the sensor is enabled, the printer will cease to function if the printer’s housing cover is opened
during printing.
The calendar is an optional feature that allows the date and time to be manually set using the
operator panel or through command codes. This screen will not be displayed if the calendar chip
(real-time clock) is not installed.
This menu allows the operator to choose if the calendar settings are to be altered.
This menu screen allows the calendar settings to be altered. The calendar is divided into five sets
of two digits. The first two allows for the year to be set, followed by the month, the day, the hour,
then the minute.
