2.1 Print Services Raw-IP and LPR/LPD in MS Windows
Install a standard TCP/IP port as additional port for printing.
During installation of the new port choose between "Raw" and "LPR"
Raw-IP: Enter the same port address in the printer which you have selected during installation.
i
Notice!
In the delivery status the print services RawIP (Port 9100) and LPD are activated on the printer page 19.
2.2 Adjusting Windows Printer Setting
When the printer driver valid for your Windows version is installed on your computer, Windows standard applications
can be used to edit the label contents and to start the print jobs. To use the Raw-IP or LPR/LPD print services, the
Windows printer settings must be adjusted:
1. Open the folder containing the printers via Start > Settings > Printers.
2. Right-click the icon of the label printer.
A pop-up menu appears.
3. Select "Properties" in the pop-up menu.
4. Open the "Details" or "Connections" tab.
This tab contains, among other things, the connections which were also set up when the print services were
installed. The names of these connections depend on the installation tool used.
5. Select the Raw-IP or LPR connection.
6. Click OK.

select .
Set up print service if necessary 2.1 on page 6.
Adjust Windows printer setting 2.2 on page 6.
!
Attention!
Do not change the settings of the "IP" and "Gateway" on the printer web interface, as otherwise the
connection to the printer may be lost.
2.5 Connecting Label Printer via USB Interface
The full-speed USB interface allows the label printer to be operated via a USB interface of a computer running one of
the 32bit or 64bit operating systems:
• Windows Vista • Windows 8.1 • Windows Server 2008 • Windows Server 2012
• Windows 7 • Windows 10 • Windows Server 2008 R2 • Windows Server 2012 R2.
• Windows 8 • Windows Server 2003
A printer driver must be installed if a USB interface will be used for connection. The printer driver for your unit is found
on the "Installer DVD" which is included in the scope of delivery or on the internet.
1. Switch label printer off..
2. Connect computer and label printer with an A-B cable.
3. Switch computer on.
4. Place the "Installer DVD" in the DVD drive.
5. Exit all programs currently running.
6. Switch printer on.

Support delay off Setting the switch-off delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between
the end of label forwarding and switching on the supporting air. The
delay can be useful to separate the rear edge of the label from the
carrier to avoid errors and to improve the accuracy of label positioning
0 ms
Start delay Delay (max. 2,5 s) between start signal and the start of an labelling
cycle.
Allows e.g. the use of product sensors at conveyors.
0 ms
Vacuum delay On - The vacuum will be switched on after the label feed is completed.
Off - The vacuum will be switched on when the label feed starts. Off
Vacuum control Setting the label transfer check from printer to pad and from pad to
product by the vacuum sensor On
Peel-off position Shift the position of the dispensed label relative to the dispensing edge.
The setting can also be adjusted by the software.
