Auto-Retract - Enables or Disables the Auto-Retract feature of the

PA/4000. The Auto-Retract sensor is located on the tamp pad. It senses

the product when the tamp pad extends to apply a label, then commands

the tamp pad to retract to the home position. If the sensor does not detect

a product, or if the sensor is turned OFF from the Hand-Held Terminal,

the cylinder will remain in the extended position until the TAMP DWELL

time has expired.

Darkness – Adjusts the level of darkness (printhead temperature) in a

printhead. It is used to balance a new printhead so that it prints at the

same level of darkness as the previous head. Darkness values are from 1

to 99. Start with a midrange number and work from there.

Feed (Apply Label) [E]

Provided there is not a label present on the tamp pad already,

the FEED key will advance the paper automatically to the

first print position of the next label. On a new size label, two labels are

usually fed before registration occurs. Pressing the FEED key in conjunction

with the 2nd key will cause the system to apply a label.

NOTE: The tamp assembly will not cycle unless a label is present on

the tamp pad.

Pause/Resume [F]

The PAUSE/RESUME key allows you to pause the

printing of a run of labels. A second depression of the key

will resume the job. Activation of this key will do the following:

•

Stop the print mechanism when the label being printed is completed

•

Stop the label counter, but maintain the count balance

•

Hold all data in memory

•

Disable tamp applicators and disable photosensor out signal

NOTE: On the PA/4020 model, the disabling of the photosensor out

signal will in turn prevent the secondary wipe-down from being

activated by photosensor 1 or 2.
