1. Introduction

The 9406™printer lets you print letters, numbers, bar codes,

and graphics on labels. You can create and download formats

from a host.

About This Manual

This manual explains how to begin using the printer and print a

batch. You can print online, sending data to the printer from a

host.

Menu Charts

Each section of the manual has one or more charts showing

the printer’s menu structure. The example below is the chart

from "Setting the Contrast."

There are two styles of boxes with borders in the charts:

•Boxes with heavy borders (SETUP in the sample)

show the selections you make to get to the function

discussed in the section.

•Boxes with reverse highlighting (CONTRAST in the

sample) show the functions discussed in the section.

New 9406 Features

With the latest release of the software, the 9406 printer:

•bases the dispense mechanism on the supply type and

dispense mode (instead of only dispense mode). For

example, an indexed supply in on-demand mode

moves the label over the peel bar. A non-indexed

supply in on-demand mode delivers the label under the

tear bar. The printer memorizes the last dispense

distance so that it can find the top of form position if you

change the dispense mode between labels.

•handles non-indexed supplies the same way as

indexed supplies. For example, you do not need to

treat no-print zones and label lengths as variables.

They are fixed, no matter what supply you use.

•displays error messages for five seconds. This change

does not affect hard-coded messages or messages that

require operator response.

•allows you to suspend a batch. After suspending it, you

can cancel it or alter the printer setup and resume

printing.

•creates Swedish characters that appear on the same

base line as English characters (instead of below the

base line).

•offers a new dot shifting algorithm, which shifts the bar

code three dots on the left side and three dots on the

right side of the bad dot element. After six shifts, if the

dark modules of the barcode are not completely out of

the bad dot elements, the printer:

1. Prints a label replacing the bar code with a solid line

.156 inches tall.

2. Cancels the batch.

3. Beeps and displays "Bad Dot On Bars."

4. Waits for the operator to acknowledge the error by

pressing the

key.
