APPENDIX E
THE OPTIONAL LABEL PRINTER
E-1. DESCRIPTION.
The label printer provides an extremely convenient method for permanently identifying media
recorded by the VR240. Each time media is recorded on and then ejected, the printer will
disgorge a label giving information about the media. A label can also be printed on demand.
The printer, a Seiko model SLP1000(P), is a compact unit that requires under 10 watts provided
by its low voltage adapter*. Its thermal mechanism prints 6 lines on each label. The labels
come on rolls of 130. A required adapter cable compatible with the PC (not Macintosh) version
of the printer is available from Eventide. The printer and labels are available from Eventide and
many computer dealers. The printer is connected to Port B on the rear of the VR240 using the
Eventide cable.
The labels have two sections separated by a vertical line. The left hand section should be
placed on the plastic media box. The right hand section should be placed on the upper surface
of the media cartridge itself, where it may partially cover the window. Here is what the labels
look like:
As you can see, both sides have essentially the same information. Due to size limitations, the
right hand side is somewhat cryptic. Line-by-line, the information shown is:

The unit serial number is the serial number of the VR240 on which the media was formatted,
NOT the number of the VR240 on which the label was printed. The media serial number is the
number assigned to the media when it is formatted for the first time on a given machine. If it is
reformatted on the same machine, it will keep its serial number. If it is reformatted on a different
