Lt408 Operator Manual
3-7 PN: 9001152A
OPERATIONAL MODE SELECTION
There are two modes of printer operation: Dispense or Continuous. The difference between the two is the way that
the label and paper backing is ejected. Before printer configuration, one must determine which mode will be used.
This chapter identifies and defines the functional differences between the two.
DISPENSE MODE
With this method of operation, after printing, the printer feeds the first (outermost) label so that it is fully extended
out of the printer’s front for dispensing. Printing of the next label will not begin until the prior printed label has been
removed. This mode of operation is specifically suited for the use of automated machinery to remove the printed
and dispensed label to apply to packaging, etc.
Upon removal of the prior printed label, the printer repositions the media so that the next label in line may be
printed, then prints. The before-mentioned cycle, repeats for each consecutive label.
Printer configuration for the backfeed function may be found in the Advanced Mode of the Configuration unit of this
manual. Refer to the Table of Contents for the page number.
CONTINUOUS MODE
With this method of operation, the media remains in position for printing at all times. To do so, means that the
previous printed label is never in proper position for dispensing and thusly, must be manually removed form the
printer rather than through the application of automated machinery.
Printer configuration for Continuous mode of operation may be found in the Advanced Mode of the Configuration
unit of this manual. Refer to the Table of Contents for the page number.
ATTENTION: Refer to the Printer Configuration unit of this manual to program the
printer’s internal memory to suit individual needs using the printer’s integrated menu
options. Refer to the Programming Reference document to remotely program the
printer’s features and functions through a host system.
