- Can you print bar coding and text on
the same label?
No, the 244RS Series
only allows you to print one or the other. However, if this
is a feature you need, the K2500
can do this.
- How do you clean a machine?
You clean the print
head with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. To locate the print
head, take out your tape cartridge and turn the locking knob
as if the cartridge were in. As you turn the locking knob,
you will see the print head move. You clean the side of the
print head that is closest to the silver pin.
- How do you use density?
Density can be used
to improve your quality of print. In order to increase the
density, press ALT F3. Use the right and left arrows to increase
or decrease density. (Older versions of the 240 Series may
have a control dial on the left of the machine. If this is
the case, turn the dial toward the "+" sign to increase density
and toward the "-" sign to decrease density.
- How do you print vertically?
Make sure that SIZE
(F3) is set to BOTH, SIZE 1. If you try to print vertically
with SIZE 2 you may get a text too tall prompt. Press STYLE
(F4) until vertical is displayed. Press "Y" for yes and hit
space or enter. Type text and print. Additional vertical font
cards are available in 16, 24 and 30 pt.
- What is "set line length" and how do
you use it?*
This feature is available
with the 244RS. Line length sets a specific label length from
0-6 inches. It can be used to set a specific label length
or to justify a single line label.
In order to set label length: press ALT SHIFT F3 and set line
length from 0-6 inches. You must enter 2 digits for each line
length. For example, if you want to set line length at 6 inches
you would enter "60".
*This is only available machines with version 6.03 or better
- How do you justify ?
This feature is available
with the 244RS. In order to justify your label: select the
number of lines you need for the label (ALT F4). Press ALT
F1 and scroll (using the right and left arrows) to Left, Right
or Center. Choose one, press enter. (This will justify all
lines on your label).
If you are justifying a single line label on a 244 RS. Set
line length (ALT SHIFT F3) from 0-6 inches. You must enter
2 digits for each line length. For example, if you want to
set line length at 6" you would enter "60". Press ALT F1 and
scroll (using the right and left arrows) to Left, Right, or
Center.
- How do you print multi-line labels?
This feature is available
with the 244RS. To print multi-line labels: press ALT F4 until
the number of lines you want to print are displayed, press
space or enter. Type your text (press enter to go to the next
line in your label) and print.
- How do you use the accent symbols?
The accent symbols
are located underneath the A, S, D, F, and G keys (the symbols
are blue). Accent symbols can be put over vowels only.
In order to select an accent symbol: press ALT and the accent
symbol that you want. Release the ALT key and type in the
vowel that you want the accent over.
For example, if you want to put a tilde (~) over an "E": press
ALT "A" (because the tilde is located beneath the "A" on the
keyboard), then type the vowel that you want the accent over,
in this case "e".
- How do you use sequencing ?
In order to sequence:
press ALT F5. Choose either A (for Alpha) or N (for Numeric).
(You can't choose both). At "Start char" enter the number
or letter you want the sequence to begin with. At "End char"
enter the number or letter you want the sequence to end with.
At "Incr #" enter the increment number you want to sequence
by. An omega symbol should appear in the text box. Press PRINT
to print the sequence.
- How do you take the 244RS off line
to make it a stand alone unit?
The 244RS can be hooked
up to a computer or used as a stand alone unit (functioning
like the other 240 Series stand alone machines.) In order
to take the 244RS off line, turn the machine on and press
the left and right arrows to read "on line" or "off line".
When it reads "off line" press ENTER.
- When you repeat labels, can you remove
the cut line?
No, the cut line can
not be removed.
