position.
•Thermal Transfer and Direct Thermal Printing: On all printers
•USB 2.0 Universal Serial Bus

16
•Ventless System: For operation in environments with airborne particulate matter without
compromising performance.
Optional Features
Ask your authorized representative about the following enhancement options:
•Andalé Fonts: A selection of four different purchasable Andale fonts can be provided (one font per SD
card). The Andale fonts will become active when the SD card is installed.
•GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output): Enables a T8000 printer to interface with an external device
such as a label applicator system. GPIO is available as a factory option or field installable kit that also
includes a mating connector for field interface, installation instructions, and operation manual.
•Internal Label Rewinder: In label peel-off mode, peels off labels one at a time before printing the next
label and rewinds the liner into a discardable roll. In batch rewind mode, rewinds printed labels into a
removable roll.
•IPDS: The printer may be ordered with this option installed or it can be field installed by an authorized
service representative or by use of an SPX at a later date. The printer must have a 300 dpi printhead
installed to support this field installed option.
•Media Cutter: Automatically cuts printed media when the media exits the printer. Available for 4, 6,
and 8 inch printers.
•Media Cutter Tray: Used with the media cutter option to catch and collect the cut media in a bin.
•Online Barcode Validator: Analyzes each bar code to ensure it meets stringent scanning standards.
This inspection validates the symbology and specifications of both linear and PDF417 bar code
images. Bad bar code labels are cancelled and good replacement labels are printed.
•Postscript/PDF:The Postscript/PDF firmware enables your printer to support Postscript and PDF
applications directly from the host computer making your ERP and WMS integration simple.
•Parallel: Centronics®-compatible parallel, IEEE® 1284 compliant parallel.
•Premium Asian Fonts:A selection of three different purchasable Asian fonts can be provided (one
font per SD card). These Asian fonts include Hanzi GB, Kanji SJIS, and Hangul, are available for use
when the SD card is installed
•QCMC (Quick Change Memory Card): The QCMC provides the ability to duplicate an entire printer’s
firmware, saved configurations, and custom files quickly through the printer’s control panel with a user
friendly interface.
•TN5250:The TN firmware enables your printer to communicate with an IBM host through a network
interface using the 5250 datastream. This feature allows you to use an application generated for the
coax/twinax emulation to be printed through the network interface.
•Wireless Network: This card provides wireless 802.11a/b/g/n connectivity without expensive cabling
and reconfigurations required from a wired network. PNE is standard with this option.
For more information about printer options, see Appendix B page 269.

Thermal Printer Technology
Quiet and fast, with excellent print quality, your multifunction thermal printer uses an inline thermal
printhead. The thermal printer operates differently from a line matrix or laser printer, because the thermal
printer uses a printhead with heating elements and special paper or ribbon.
The Printing Process
The thermal printhead allows two modes of operation:
•Direct Thermal
During direct thermal printing, the thermal printhead selectively heats small, rectangular thermal dots.
When these contact the coated thermal paper, the dyes and developers in the coating react to the heat
and develop an image. This mode of printing is generally used for short-term labeling applications.
•Thermal Transfer
During thermal transfer printing, the heated thermal dots contact a thermal ribbon. The heat reacts with the
ribbon and bonds the image to the paper. This method is used especially for abrasive, long-storage
applications and for specialized applications, such as in extreme environmental conditions or where
tamper-proofing is required.
Dynamic Print Control
Dynamic print control is a unique feature of your thermal printer that provides excellent print quality by
preventing unevenness of print density.
Print quality largely depends on how the thermal paper or the thermal ribbon and thermal transfer paper
responds to the heat of the thermal printhead.
During printing, the thermal printhead must reach a set temperature in the shortest possible time. Then it
must cool down to the original temperature in the shortest possible time after printing. Thus print quality is
dependent on the precise control of the energy supplied to the thermal dots.
The dynamic print control is a method for predicting the quantity of heat required to print dots based on the
results of the previous printing. This prevents unevenness of print density and results in the printing of
narrow- ladder bar codes or vertical grid lines that are straight from the microscopic viewpoint.
Warnings and Special Information
For your safety and to protect valuable equipment, read and comply with all information highlighted under
special headings:
WARNING Conditions that could harm you and damage the equipment.
WARNING Achten Sie auf folgendes, um keine Personen in Gefahr zubringen bzw. das

Example: Press the PAUSE key and then press ENTER.
•Operator panel keys are often shown by their symbol or icon (located on the control panel directly
below the key).
Example: Press the ↵ key for ENTER.
•Operator panel menu settings are often shown by their full location that includes the ICON name,
submenu, and then menu, each separated with a ‘>’ sign.
Example: Change the Media > Image > Label Length menu.
•Control panel LCD messages are printed in uppercase letters inside quotation marks ( “ ” ).
Example: When “OFFLINE” appears on the control panel LCD, you may release the PAUSE key.
•Key combinations are indicated by the +(plus) symbol.
Example: Press ↑ + ↓ means Press the Up ↑key and the Down ↓ key at the same time.

2 Operation
Controls and Indicators
Power Switch
The power switch is located on the bottom back panel of the printer. To apply power, place the switch in the
| (ON) position. When you first power on the
printer, an initialization sequence will immediately appear on
the color LCD control panel.
To remove power, place the power switch in the O (OFF) position.
Control Panel
The control panel is located on the front of the printer and includes a Status LED array, QVGA color
display, PAUSE key, FEED key, LEFT SOFT key, RIGHT SOFT key, and navigation keys (buttons) with
the ENTER button in the center. These are described in the following
tables.
PAUSE Key FEED Key
Navigation / ENTER
RIGHT SOFT Key
LEFT SOFT Key
Status LED
The QVGA (quarter VGA) screen is a 320 x 240 pixel color display (non-touch). It is comprised of a Header
that shows the printer state and location with the User Interface (UI), the general display area, and a footer
used to show the purpose of the LEFT and RIGHT SOFT keys (when available).
The status LED indicates when the
printer is ONLINE, OFFLINE, or when there is a fault condition:
• LED is on solid: ONLINE and Ready to Print.
• LED is off: OFFLINE and not accepting data.
• LED is flashing: Fault Indicator.
