255 255 255 255 255 255
Live sensor values are displayed. Maximum values are shown in
this example, where:
THR = thermistor sensor;
TRAN = transmissive (gap) media sensor (REFL is shown when
SENSOR TYPE is set to ‘reflective’);
RIB M = ribbon motion sensor;
24V = 24 volt DC power supply sensor;
HD = head-down sensor; and,
RANK = the value of the printhead ranking resistor.
RIBBON SENSOR LIMITS ♦
Displays ribbon sensor ADC low and high values used for motion
detection.
RIBBON ADC LOW HIGH
070 164
Approximate default values are shown here (actual values will
vary).
4.2.8 MCL Options
Displayed Menu Item Details
MCL AT POWER-UP ♦
MCL (Macro Command Language) is a tool suite designed for data
collection applications. The printer will accept input data from
peripheral devices and the application can request and send data to
locally resident lookup files or remote databases.
ENABLED
After power to the printer is turned ‘Off’ and ‘On,’ MCL Mode will
be started. The printer is now ready to accept input data from
peripheral devices such as barcode scanners, weigh scales, and
keyboards without the need of a host computer; see Section 4.1.4.
DISABLED
Normal printer functions.
START MCL ♦
MCL Mode will be started after exiting the menu; see Section
4.1.4.
