te).
WARNING!
The 64-xx is a heavy printer. The weight depends on the printer type and
equipement and can vary from 20 kg (64-04/05) up to 29.5 kg (64-08 Dis-
penser).
A bad carrying technique can cause back injury.
Try to lift the printer in a safe way, for example by
– carrying it close to your body, and by

Mounting the 64-xx
The 64-xx has been designed as a desktop printer, which means that it is
normally mounted in an upright position on a table [2]. Other sufficiently large,
level and sturdy surfaces can also be used as a base.
[6] The correct orientation of the 64-04.
WARNING!
When choosing a base for the printer, observe the following guidelines to
avoid dangerous operating conditions:
The base needs to be at least as deep and wide as the printer itself.
The surface needs to be level, solid and dry.
The printer’s fan and ventilation slits must not be obstructed, as the device
may overheat otherwise.
The printer must not be mounted in the immediate vicinity of other heat
sources.
The environmental conditions specified (temperature, air humidity, etc.)
need to be complied with.
The power cable should be run to the printer so that
– nobody will trip on it, and that
– the power plug can easily be pulled out if necessary.

Display With 32 digits and two lines, the display shows the operating conditions (mo-
des) for parameters, values, status and errors. You can select the language
you want to use for the display. Backlighting ensures good legibility.
Button functions The buttons offer a multitude of operating functions. A logical menu structure
is used for operation. The meaning of each button varies according to the
operating mode and the menu item. Additionally, special functions have been
programmed for certain button combinations.
Depending on the modes and menu levels, the following functions apply for
each button:
Online button •For switching between online and offline mode.
•For confirming entries, menu items and messages.
•For selecting print jobs and for entering values in standalone mode.
Cut button •Triggers a cut. Requirements:
– Cutter fitted and activated.
– Printer offline.
•Also for accessing deeper levels within the menu structure and selecting
menu items.
•For decrementing values.
Feed button •For feeding in material when the device is offline.
•For starting the printing process once the feed has been stopped (in online
mode).
•Also for accessing deeper levels within the menu structure and selecting
menu items.
•Increments values.
Prog button •For accessing the parameter menu when offline.
•For stepping back through the parameter menu and/or exiting it.

Remote operator
panel
64-0x Gen. 3 (or higher) machines can be equipped with a remote operator
panel. For this, the printer must provide the appropriate - optional - connector,
see chapter Printer connections on page 5. The connection can be retro-
fitted (see service manual).
The button functions are the same as those on the standard operator panel.
Exception: The on/off switch is not available at the remote control panel.
With the remote control panel connected, both panels are active and show
the same information.
[10] Remote operator panel (article number A8293)
CAUTION!
Manipulating both operator panels simultaneously can cause malfunctions.
Always use only one operator panel at a time to operate the printer. (Using
both operator panels alternately is admissible).
CAUTION!
If the connection cable is longer than 2.5 m, EMC-caused disturbances can
occur.
Only use the factory-installed cable.
Don´t extend the cable.

Operating modes
Offline mode Printer settings can be made when the device is offline. The offline mode is
normally active when the printer is switched on. Print jobs are received via
the selected interface but not processed.
To configure the printer so that it goes directly into online mode when swit-
ched on, set the parameter SYSTEM PARAMETER > Active Mode to “Online”.
Online mode In online mode, print jobs are received and processed immediately. Possible
messages:
To stop printing, press the online button.
Message mode The printer uses status reports to signal an error or a particular operating sta-
tus. This message mode indicates that the printer is waiting to quit or for fault
clearance. When quitting, the printer switches from message mode to offline
mode (depending on the error and the progress of the last active process).
The status message 5001 (shown above) occurs when for example the prin-
ter is set for punched label material, but continuous form material without
punches has been inserted. In this case, the printer will continue to feed the
material for a few seconds before it generates an error message.
Status Reports: see topic section „Status Reports“.
OFFLINE 0 JOBS No jobs are waiting to be processed.
ONLINE 0 JOBS No jobs are waiting to be processed.
ONLINE 0: JOBS The current data transfer to the printer is shown on
the display. This is indicated by the dot on the bottom
right next to the number of loaded jobs.
Another point on half line height above the first
shows the interpreter status:
•No point: No data to interpete.
•Solid point: The interpreter is busy (still data left
in the spooler).
•Flashing point: The interpreter is waiting for data
required to complete a command (no data in the
spooler).
ONLINE 13 JOBS
Restcount: 25
During printing, the display also shows the number
of received print jobs (13) and the remaining number
of labels (25) to be printed in the current job.
ONLINE 13 JOBS
Restcount: endless
If a print job recognises an endless number of labels
to be printed, then the remaining number for this job
is also shown as endless.
Status 5001
No gap found
Messages are made up of the status number and a
brief descriptive text.
