Operating modes
Offline mode Printersettings 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 > Turn-on 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 PEM
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.
More information on status reports and a detailed list of all messages can be
found under 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
Remainder: 25
During printing, the display also shows the number
of print jobs read (13) and the remaining number of
labels (25) to be printed in the current job.

Creating a print job
Essentially, there are two ways of creating a print job: Either by using the
DPM/PEM driver for Windows or by creating a text file with print commands.
Windows printer
driver
•DPM/PEM printer drivers are available for different versions of Windows. You
can print from nearly every Windows application using the printer drivers.
However, functionality is strongly dependent on the choice of software.
Special label layout programs are best suited, for example NiceLabel (a
demo version is included with the DPM/PEM).
Printer drivers for the different versions of Windows can be found on the In-
ternet at
http://www.machines.averydennison.com/printersystems_gb.nsf/wview/
L4L3?OpenDocument
The driver’s help function explains how to use the printer driver. The help
function of your Windows operating system will tell you how to install the dri-
ver.
Command file •You can write a sequence of commands in a text file and send it to the printer.
To do this, you can use any text editor and the MS-DOS Copy command.
Easy Plug provides a special command language to program print jobs.
However, writing a print job in text file format does require some

programming knowledge. Furthermore, you will not be able to preview the
resulting printout on the screen. Instead, you have to run a test print to see a
copy of the finished result.
You can find a practice example of a print job together with instructions in the
Easy Plug Manual in the section “Program Example” under “General,
Definitions Commands Overview”.
Transferring a print job
The printer can only carry out a print job once this job has been transferred
into the printer’s RAM. This can be accomplished in two ways: via a direct
transfer from your computer via a data cable or by saving it to a Compact-
Flash (CF) card.
Data cable The print job can be transferred
– via the serial interface,
– via the parallel interface, or
– via the Ethernet connection.
To transfer data via the serial or parallel interface, connect the corresponding
ports on the host computer and the printer. Use the DOS window to send the
print job file to the interface:
•Serial interface (COM1): copy testjob.txt com1
•Parallel interface (LPT1): copy testjob.txt lpt1
•USB interface / Ethernet interface:
copy testjob.txt \\computername\sharename.
–Computer name = Name of the computer. You can find this name in
Windows XP under START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM
> COMPUTER NAME (e.g. DM-ECH-0990).
– Forsharename, enter the name found under START > SETTINGS >
PRINTERS AND FAXES after right-clicking PROPERTIES > SHARE (in
Windows XP). The share name represents a printer connected with a
specific port – the USP port for transfer via USB, the TCP/IP port for
transfer via Ethernet.
A few hints on using the USB or Ethernet interfaces:
The method described here does not work in Windows 98, Windows ME
or Windows NT 4.0.
The share name has to comply with the MS-DOS formatting conventions (no
more than 8 characters, no symbols or spaces).
You can find further information on transferring data per Ethernet at Special
Applications
Before sending a print job from a text program, you need to ensure that the
correct printer driver has been installed.
Special label layout programs, such as NiceLabel, make this much easier.
These programs also require a driver to be installed.

Card You require the following to load a print job from a CF card:
•CF card (copy the print job to the directory \FORMATS)
•CF card reader (to connect to your computer)
A detailed description of how to transfer print jobs via CF cards can be found
in Special Applications , “Standalone Mode”.
Applying memory cards
DPM/PEM print modules support the following memory card types:
•CompactFlash (CF) Typ I [7]
•SD [8]1
•SDHC
Flawless functioning of the memory cards is only guaranteed for the types
distributed by Avery Dennison:
[7] CF card (article no. A7681).
[8] SD card (article no. A101465).
Applying CF/SD cards: see Plugin-card manual, topic section „Application“,
chapter „CF/SD cards“.
Inserting a memory
card
1. Switch off the printer. Wait for 5 seconds.
2. Insert the memory card [9A,B] with the labelled side facing to the right and
the contacts facing ahead into the card slot until it clicks into place.
1) SD and SDHC cards are supported with firmware version 6.35 or above.

The first printer test
Settings for the material type
The parameter settings described below provide the printer with the necessa-
ry information about the label material used. When printing from a layout pro-
gram, these settings are usually provided automatically by the printer driver.
For your first test prints, you need to configure them manually.
Material type •The label material is “endless”, which means that it contains no punches/
perforations, breaks or reflex marks that could be recognised by the punch
sensor:
Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to “endless”.
•The label material contains punches, breaks or reflex marks that can be
recognised by the punch sensor (referred to as “punched” material):
Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to “Punched”.
Material length Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Length to the length of the material (in mm).
Material width Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Width to the width of the material (in mm).
Only for punched/perforated material:
Type of punch •Label material with breaks or punches:
Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Light sens. type to “Punched”.
•Label material with reflex marks:
Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Light sens. type to “Reflex”.
Instructions on how to use the parameter menu can be found in Info-Printouts
and Parameters , “Using the Parameter Menu”.
Printing the status report
A status report printout is a perfectly adequate printer test. The width of the
status printout can be set to 100 mm or 50 mm. This should match the width
of the label material used. The length of the printout is 200 mm.
100 mm width Navigate to PRINT INFO > Printer status.
The printout that is triggered spans a label length of 2x 200 mm, listing all of
the printer’s current parameter settings.
50 mm width Set the SYSTEM PARAMETER > Print Info Mode to “Compact right”.
Navigate to PRINT INFO > Printer Status.
The printout that is triggered contains the same information as the wider prin-
tout, compressed to a width of 50 mm.
Density If the printout is not as black as you would like it to be, increase the print den-
sity as follows:
