Functions

Feed alignment offset for small markers and labels

A new feed alignment (vertical registration) adjustment has been added. To obtain more accurate print registration

on 1-line labels and markers, the alignment can be changed plus or minus 3 dot lines:

1. Press Shift-1key combination while in label text edit mode.

2. Press Up or Down arrow keys to change from -3 dot lines up to +3 dot lines.

Page 5

Bold printing is supported in both large and small font modes. To toggle the bold setting on or off:

1. Press the Shift-O key combination.

2. Press the Up arrow key to toggle bold printing on or off.

3. Press the Enter key to exit.

Batch serialization

To print a batch of serialized labels:

1. Position the cursor over the right-most character of the desired field, i.e. the number 8 in 99998.

2. Press the Shift-Serial key combination.

3. Enter a number from 1 to 99.

4. Press the Print key to start printing or press the Clear key to cancel.

Multiple serialized labels/markers

To print multiple copies of serialized labels or markers:

1. Press the Shift-Serial key combination.

2. Enter a number from 1 to 99.

3. Press the Shift-Print key combination.

4. Enter a number 1 to 99.

5. Press Enter or Print to print or press Clear to cancel.

Strip mode serialization

Batch mode serialization in strip mode differs slightly from that of component and wiremarker mode. Because two

strip markers are printed at a time (side by side), the serial number is incremented by one for eachof the strip

markers. This allows the user to alter the way strip markers are serialized. For example:

To print 4 strip labels numbered from 0000 to 0003, you would do the following: Refer to Figure 1A.

1. Enter “0000" in the left hand marker display field.

2. Enter “0001" in the right hand marker display field.

3. Press the Shift-Serial key combination.

4. Enter the number “4".

5. The result will be four labels numbered: 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003.

Page 6

To print 8 stip markers in pairs of 2 numbered from 0000 to 0003.

1. Enter “0000" in the left hand marker display field.

2. Enter “0001" in the right hand marker display field.

3. Press the Shift-Serial key combination.

4. Enter the number “2".

5. Press the Shift-Print key combination.

6. Enter the number “2".

7. Press the Enter or Print key to start printing.

8. The result will be 4 pairs of strip markers numbered 0000 to 0003.

Refer to Figure 1B below. In either case, due to the way the serial strip markers are incremented, you would

always enter a number 1-larger in the right side of the strip mode display.

Material Guide Pins -(located on the under-side of the unit)

Use when removing labels or changing the label width.

Print Head Mask

Thin metal shield located between the platen and the print head assembly.

Nip & Drive Rollers

Drive roller -a rubberized roller located directly under the fixed and adjustable material guides.

Nip Rollers -small rollers located in the material guides. They exert pressure drive roller.

Tutorial

•Install the battery and charge it for 4-5 hours. Select the corresponding material guide setting to match the

width of the label you are using (i.e. ½", 1", or 1-1/2).

•Insert the labels onto the roll holder and place in the label holding area.

•Turn the unit on and with the arrow keys select the appropriate size code. This information can be obtained

from the inside of the label core and on the outside of the box.

•Insert the labels into the material guides and press the feed key.

•Select the size text (small or large) to be printed and the format required.

•Press Print for one label or Shift and Print for multiple labels.

IMPORTANT -When removing the labels from the ID Pro it is imperative that the material guide pins are pushed

down while removing the labels

Serialization

Alpha and numeric characters can be serialized on the I.D. PRO Plus. Put the cursor under the character to be

serialized. Press Shift & the Serial key. Enter number of times the data is to increment and press Print. When

the serialized character reaches 9 or Z the character to it's left is incremented and the original number becomes a 0

or an A. (i.e. 099 becomes 100). Alpha and/or numberic serialization is possible.
