the system mode has the following functions for the printer self-test and setting various parameters.

    (for details, refer to key operation specification.)

    (1) self-test

    · maintenance counter, printing various parameters

    · automatic self-test

    (2) setting various parameters

    · feed fine adjustment (à 50.0 mm)

    · cut position fine adjustment (à 50.0 mm)

    (or strip position fine adjustment)

    · back feed fine adjustment (à 9.5 mm)

    · x-coordinate fine adjustment (à 99.5 mm)

    · print density fine adjustment (thermal transfer: à 10, direct thermal: à 10)

    · type of character code (pc-850, pc-8)

    · selection of 0 font (without slash mark [0], with slash mark [0])

    · type of control code automatic selection

    manual selection (esc, lf, nul method)

    manual selection ( {, |, } method)

    code designation (manual method)

    · type of ribbon (transmissive ribbon, non-transmissive ribbon)

    · ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment (-15 ～ 0 step)

    · strip status selection (not selected/selected)

    · reflective sensor manual threshold fine adjustment setting (0.0 to 4.0 v)

    · transmissive sensor manual threshold fine adjustment setting (0.0 to 4.0 v)

    · kanji code selection (for windows codes/for original codes)

    · stepping motor selection (motor made by sanyo, motor made by nmb)

    · euro code (new currency symbol) setting (20h to ffh)

    · ready/busy control protocol selection (dtr protocol, rts protocol)

    · reset process when the input·prime signal is on (on: performed, off: not performed)

    (3) test print

    (4) sensor display/adjustment

    · thermal head temperature sensor indication

    · open-air temperature sensor indication

    · reflective sensor indication/adjustment

    · transmissive sensor indication/adjustment

    · reflective sensor adjustment value indication/adjustment (without paper)

    · transmissive sensor adjustment value indication/adjustment (without paper)

    (5) ram clear

    · maintenance counter clear

    · parameter clear

    (6) initial values after ram clear

    1 initial values after maintenance counter clear

   

    2 initial values after parameter clear

   

   

    1. the total label distance covered, sensor adjustment values (system mode [4]), and data of the flash card are not cleared by ram clear.

    2. if “3: transmissive sensor (when using preprinted labels)” or “4: reflective sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” is selected for the type of sensor for a label issue when a parameter clear is performed, the threshold setting should be made again.
