In DATAMAX DMX-I-4208 connectivity and supplies installation as an example:
First, connect the printer
1 Turn off the printer and the computer's power
(2) the serial / parallel cable, connected to the computer's serial / parallel port, the other end is connected to the printer's serial / parallel printer port.
3 Connect the power cord and turn on the power switch.
Note: Please note that in case of power on the printer, plug the printer cable cord prohibited.
Second, install labels
The printer can be installed on an inner diameter of 1.5 or 3-inch label roll, when mounted 1.5 inches (38 mm) from the label roll is the need to 3 inches (76 mm) pull the mounting sleeve. The maximum diameter of the paper roll can be installed 203 mm, installation labels, follow these steps:
1 Open the printer right flip.
2 Turn the print head lock lever (PRINTHEAD LATCH), thus raising the print head.
3 the label bezel (MEDIA EDGE GUIDE) slide outward, and rotate to a horizontal position.
4 sets of the label in the label axis (MEDIA HUB), note paper up, pushed to the innermost, the label from the paper guide lever (MEDIA IDLER) beneath and through the label sensor (MEDIA SENSOR) leads, the pressure in the print head below.
5 the label to the edges of the label to push the bezel, and rotated to a vertical position.
6 Slide the label detector to detect holes in the label paper width range.
7 pressing the print head and locked.
Third, install the ribbon
1 Rotate the print head lock lever (PRINTHEAD LATCH), thus raising the print head.
(2) Install the ribbon roll onto the ribbon axis (RIBBON SUPPLY HUB), the installation should pay attention to the orientation of the carbon layer under the ribbon, to ensure the carbon layer is oriented label paper.
3. The ribbon leads, according to the direction from the printer ribbon roll (RIBBON ROLLER) below spared printheads, roll to ribbon rewind spindle (RIBBON TAKE-UP HUB) on. Be careful not to label ribbon across the middle of the detector.
Basic operation of the printer:
The panel DATAMAX DMX-I-4208 printer operator panel. Various printer settings are changed via the keys on the panel are finished. In the menu mode, the function of each button is:
l "PAUSE" - "REV ↓", page forward.
l "FEED" - "FWD ↑", page backward.
l "CANCEL" - "ENT" to confirm or enter the menu.
l "MENU" - "ESC" to return to the previous menu
Boot, the machine has finished booting, the LCD panel displays "READY", indicating that the machine has entered the print-ready status. At this time, if you are the first to use the specifications of the label paper, then press and hold the FEED button for 4 seconds, the printer will be out 2-3 labels and displays "READY" state, indicating that the initial position of the corrected printing can be print; replace the label in the same specification, without performing the above, simply press the FEED key after installation tag, which will automatically recognize the paper.
For various adjustments, such as print mode, print supplies selection, etc., to be the case in standby, press the MENU key to enter adjustment menu mode. Note that, in the final stage of the settings menu before use "*" indicates the current value, such as "* GAP", indicates that the current is to use "stitch (gap)" to detect labels. The machine has the following main menu:
l MEDIA SETTINGS
l PRINT CONTROL
l PRINT OPTIONS
l SYSTEM SETTINGS
l COMMUNACATIONS
l DIAGNOSTICS
The following are some simple menu using the machine's own printer setup operations:
l MEDIA SETTINGS (tab settings)
From the "READY" state, press the "MENU" button to enter the menu mode. LCD displays "MEDIA SETTINGS", this menu has the following submenus:
1. MEDIA TYPE (label paper type)
ü DIRECT THERMAL (thermal mode), using direct thermal (using thermal paper)
ü THERMAL TRANSFER (thermal transfer), using thermal transfer printing (using the labels and ribbon)
2. SENSOR TYPE (label detection mode)
ü GAP (gap), also known as transmission type, is used to detect the label after slitting paper, the use of a slit between the labels (end of paper) light and strong features to detect individual labels.
ü CONTINUOUS (continuous paper) for continuous paper, through the Settings tab to control the degree of each label.
ü REFLECTIVE (reflection paper), through the identification label on the back of the printer marks (usually black mark) to detect each label.
Other slightly.
l PRINT CONTROL (print control) to enter the menu mode by keep pressing "PAUSE / REV ↓" or press the "FEED / FWD ↑" to achieve. The menu has the following submenus:
1. HEAT (print temperature value), the energization time to control the print head, thereby changing the printing temperature. This value is the usual temperature in the label printing software settings are the same. Such as the need to deepen the depth of print, can be implemented to increase the value of HEAT, but the new machine does not recommend setting the temperature too high. (* 10, in the range 0 to 30)
2. PRINT SPEED (print speed), the speed control printing. The initial speed setting is usually the fastest printer.
3. ROW OFFSET (the line start position), set the vertical starting position of printing.
4. COLUMN OFFSET (column starting position), the print start position is set horizontally.
5. PRESENT DISTANCE (stop position), specify the stop position of each label label starting position exceeds the value of the print, the label will be printed retreated to the starting position, the batch printing, if not using the paper detection functions, or stop position is set to 0, then print labels do not back.
Note:
1 in the label printing when the print position offset by setting the value of 3 and 4 to be adjusted, since in practice there is no standard measure of the associated, the user depending on the actual situation at the value corresponding add-on. Set up the premise, the design of labels to meet the requirements.
2 shades and other quality problems when printing, generally by reducing the printing speed, or improve print temperature (not recommended for new machines use more than 25) methods to solve, or a combination of the two to use.
3. DATAMAX software settings of the machine are generally based, so with a special case of bar code printing software, bar code printers call settings to use this software settings based.
4 due to barcode printer driver installation procedure chosen brand and other reasons, in the printer properties settings window and see the contents are different, so, you need a different distinction. However, the version of the same brand little difference. Currently the following barcode software vendors have developed printer driver: BARONE (Zebra printer to support the main demo version of the software provides some functions); LABELVIEW (mainly to support desktop printer, download version 6.07 now, for new machines support is not enough, for example, ZEBRA TLP3842 3742 can only use it to print properly.); BARTENDER (most of the printers on the market, can be a good support. demo version is now available 30-day trial, late in the design of content the random variation of a character). Currently three software-based.
