<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>EasyCoder</strong> <strong>401</strong> – <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />
SETUP PARAMETERS, cont'd.<br />
Media Type The Media Type setup controls how the LSS and the paper feed<br />
work. There are five different media types:<br />
❑ Label (w gaps) is used for adhesive labels mounted on backing<br />
paper.<br />
❑ Ticket (w mark) is used for labels, tickets, or strip provided with<br />
black marks at the back of the paper web.<br />
❑ Ticket (w gaps) is used for tickets and tags with detection slits.<br />
Print Defines<br />
• Printhead Resistance<br />
• Paper Type<br />
• New Supplies<br />
❑ Fix length strip means that the length of the print window<br />
decides the length of strip to be fed out.<br />
❑ Var length strip adds a sufficient amount of paper feed after the<br />
last printable dot (may even be a blank space character or a<br />
“white dot” in an image) to allow the strip to be torn off.<br />
It is important to select the correct option, so the printer can indicate<br />
possible paper errors. Two different error conditions may occur:<br />
Error 1005 “Out of paper” indicates that the last ordered copy<br />
could not be printed because of an empty paper stock.<br />
Error 1031 “Next label not found” indicates that the last ordered<br />
label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more labels/tickets<br />
can be printed because of an empty paper stock.<br />
Head Resistance:<br />
The power to the printhead is adjusted automatically according to<br />
the printhead resistance each time the printer is started. There is no<br />
manual head resistance setup, but it is possible to view the last<br />
measured value in the Setup Mode of <strong>EasyCoder</strong> 501 E and 501 SA.<br />
Paper Type:<br />
To obtain the best printout quality, the printer should be set up for<br />
the characteristics of the brand of direct thermal paper or transfer<br />
ribbon currently used, see chapter “Selecting Paper/Ribbon”. Any<br />
attempt to print with transfer ribbon loaded and the printer set up for<br />
direct thermal paper, or vice versa, will result in an error condition<br />
(Error 1027 “Out of transfer ribbon” or Error 1058 “Transfer<br />
ribbon fitted”).<br />
New Supplies:<br />
Other types of supplies, than those included as standard options in<br />
the paper type setup, can be selected by means of a 13 digit code,<br />
provided by the manufacturer or distributor. After a new supply has<br />
been selected once by means of “New Supplies”, it will be stored<br />
in the RAM memory and appear as an option in “Paper Type”,<br />
specified by the first 4 digits in its code number.<br />
