SATO ct4i User Manual

 

Switches 1–3: Font/Graphic loading settings
Enables the loading of fonts and/or graphics into printer 
memory for faster retrieval.

Switch 4: DT/TT Mode 
Switches the printer between Direct Thermal (DT) or 
Thermal Transfer (TT).

Switch 5: Head Check
Enables or Disables the printer function that checks the 
print head for open circuits automatically. On detecting a 
head error along any part of the print head, the ERROR 
LED will be lit continuously. The printer will not allow any 
further operation unless the following buttons are press, or 
certain actions are taken.

1) Press the ONLINE and FEED buttons for five seconds. 
The ONLINE LED lights for a brief moment, and then the 
printer is taken OFFLINE. Restart the printer to continue 
printing as per normal.

2) The printer can be set to another type of head checking, whereby the printer analyzes the print data 
for the location of barcodes, and only checks the print head areas involved in printing those barcodes. 
To switch to this mode, at the detection of head error, press the FEED button for five seconds. The new 
head check mode takes effect. This limited-type of head check for barcode printing integrity only applies 
to barcodes printed via the ESC+B, ESC+D, ESC_BD commands. The head check is not effective in 
cases where barcodes are created as graphics.
