[FEED] key: (1) Feeds one sheet of paper. This key can be used to eject one sheet of paper.
This key can also be used to adjust the paper to the proper position when the paper is not properly positioned. If printing is attempted when the paper is not properly positioned, printing is not performed at the proper position. One or two sheets of paper should be fed to adjust the paper position before printing.
(2) Prints the data in the image buffer on one label according to the system mode setting.
NOTE: A clear command or a command for drawing should not be sent during printing by the [FEED] key. If it is sent, the correct layout wil be lost, and the label will not be printed properly. If an issue is performed by the [FEED] key while the data is being drawn in the
image buffer, the correct layout may be lost.
* For the following, refer to the parameter setting section.
• The procedure for using the label having a label pitch of less than 38 mm in the cut issue mode when the swing cutter is used
• The procedure for using the label having less than the min. label pitch for each issue speed in the cut issue mode when the rotary cutter is used.
[RESTART] key: (1) Resumes printing after a temporary stop of label printing or after an error.
(2) Places the printer in the usual initial state which is obtained when the power is turned on.
(3) Programs various parameters.
[PAUSE] key: (1) Stops label printing temporarily.
(2) Programs the threshold values.
[POWER] LED: Indicates that the printer power is ON or OFF.

5.5 THRESHOLD
5.5.1 Outline of Threshold Setting
When a label is printed, the printer detects the gap between the labels using the transmissive sensor, and corrects the print position automatically to obtain a constant print position.
However, when a preprinted label is used, some inks may prevent proper positioning correction.
In this case, determine the transmissive sensor threshold manually by key operation and store the value in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
A constant print position can also be obtained when printing on a preprinted label since the print position is always corrected using the threshold stored in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) by selecting “3: Transmissive Sensor (when using the preprinted label)” for the sensor type of the
Issue Command.
When a label is printed by detecting the black mark on the back of the label, the reflective rate variation of a place other than the black mark may prevent the proper positioning correction. In this case, determine the reflective sensor threshold manually by key operation and store the value in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
A constant print position can also be obtained when printing on a tag since the print position is always corrected using the threshold stored in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) by selecting
“4: Reflective Sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” for the sensor type of the Issue
Command.

(16) The label is printed according to the command issued from the PC.
<Supplementary Explanation>
(1) When the [PAUSE] key is released within 3 seconds while the printer is paused, the
[PAUSE] key is invalid.
(2) To program the threshold, 1.5 sheets or more of the label should be fed. (If the label is not fed by the above amount, the threshold may not be properly programmed. In this case, reprogramming is required.)
(3) Even if the [PAUSE] key is held down for 3 seconds or more when the head is lifted, the
[PAUSE] key is invalid.
(4) While the printer is feeding a label to program the threshold, an error detection including the paper end or cutter error is not performed.
(5) When the proper print position is not obtained after threshold programming, the sensor may be improperly adjusted. In this case, readjust the sensor in system mode, and program the threshold.
When the backing paper of the label is too thick, the transmissive sensor should be readjusted.
In addition, make sure that “3: Transmissive sensor (when using the preprinted label)” or “4:
Reflective sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” is selected for sensor type of the
Feed Command and the Issue Command.

Automatic calibration setting (AUTO CALIB)
FEED
• ON TRANS.
• ON REFLECT
The transmissive sensor is enabled.
The reflective sensor is enabled.
Explanation of operation
(1) When AUTO CALIB is enabled, an automatic calibration starts at an open/close of the print head after the power is turned on.
(2) When AUTO CALIB is enabled, the media length, effective print length, sensor type, and whether to use ribbon or not specified by commands are ignored.
(3) When “ON REFLECT” is selected, the lowest voltage detected by the black mark sensor is considered as a black mark level. And, the sum of this voltage and the manual threshold voltage will be adopted as a threshold.
(4) When “ON TRANS” is selected, the highest voltage detected by the feed gap sensor is considered as a gap level. After subtracting the manual threshold voltage from this voltage, the result will be adopted as a threshold.
- 26 -
(5) The printer feeds about 160 mm long media to detect a black mark/gap and determine the threshold. When the printer detects more than two black marks/gaps during this 160-mm media feed, the printer measures the media pitch and stops the automatic calibration 1 mm short of the bottom of a black mark or gap.
(6) If the second black mark/gap is not found under the above conditions, the printer continues media feed for up to 500.0 mm until the second black mark/gap is found. If it still cannot be detected, the printer will stop, resulting in a paper jam.
(7) This function is available only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 150.0 mm.
(8) When the cutter is installed and a previous issue was performed in cut issue mode, the media is cut and ejected after an automatic calibration completes.
(9) When the automatic calibration is in operation, labels do not stop at a strip position even in strip or special strip mode.
(10) When a label end or a head open error occurs during an automatic calibration, the printer stops, resulting in an error. Closing the print head can clear the error and resume the automatic calibration.
(11) During an automatic calibration, the ribbon motors are rotated. Even if the ribbon is not loaded, this function does not result in an error. However, the print condition will be automatically changed to “No ribbon” after the calibration ends.

Counts when the paper feed motor is driven to feed a paper or print. (Counts also during a reverse feed operation.)
When the power is off, the label distance of 50.0 cm or less may be rounded down and backed up.
Counts while printing. (Counting is not performed during reverse feed operation.)
B-SX4:
When the power is off, the print distance of 8.2 m or less is rounded down and backed up.
B-SX5:
When the power is off, the print distance of 5.5 m or less is rounded down and backed up.
Every cut operation is counted.

[Procedure for label having label pitch of less than 38 mm when the swing cutter is used]
The minimum label pitch of the label which can be cut in normal use is 38.0 mm. When a label having a label pitch of less than 38.0 mm is used (although it is out of specifications), the edge of the label is caught by the edge of the thermal head during a back feed to the home position after cutting the gap area between labels. Therefore, the label may not be fed back to the proper home position. By performing either method below, the problem will be solved.
[Method 1] Lift the head.
When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation is as follows.
Head lifted
→ Reverse feed to the home position → Head lowered
Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.
Label pitch of 38.0 mm or less, cut performed, transmissive sensor designated, cut position fine adjustment of ±10.0 mm or less, and issue mode “C”
* The head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon save module is attached and the ribbon saving system is set to ON in the parameter setting. When the ribbon save module is not installed, use Method 2 since the head is not lifted/lowered.
NOTES: 1. If the head is lifted up when the edge of the label being ejected passes the paper feed roller, the sensor may not be able to detect an error even if it occurs (a feed cannot be performed).
2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is about
to be performed with the head lifted, the head may not be lifted.
[Method 2] Adjust the cut position fine adjustment value.
When this procedure is used, one or more printed labels are left between the head and the cutter. Therefore, these labels should be removed by an issue or a label feed.
(a) Cut position fine adjustment value calculation
The cut position fine adjustment value can be calculated using the following method. If a back feed to the proper home position cannot be performed using this value, the cut position should be adjusted with any value.

[Procedure for label having less than the min. label pitch for each issue speed when the rotary cutter is used]
When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation for the last label to be cut is as follows.
Forward feed to the cut position
→ Cut with feeding → Feed stops →
Head lifted
→ Reverse feed to the home position → Head lowered
Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.
Label pitch: Less than the min. label pitch for each issue speed, cut performed, transmissive sensor designated, cut position fine adjustment of ±10.0 mm or less, and issue mode “C”
* For the Issue Command, this procedure is effective only for the last label to be cut when the next Issue Command is not received.
* The head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon save module is attached and the ribbon saving system is set to ON in the parameter setting. When the ribbon save module is not installed, the head-up/down operations are not performed. See “NOTES” below.
NOTES: 1. If the head is being lifted up when the edge of the label which is
being ejected passes the paper feed roller, the sensor may not be able to detect an error even if it occurs (a feed cannot be performed more).
2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is about to be performed with the head lifted, the head may not be
lifted.

Printing in strip issue mode is stopped at the position where the distance from the middle point of the gap between labels to the end of the strip shaft is 4 mm, since the gap between labels is assumed to be 2 mm.
When the print stop position is not proper due to a greater gap, the print stop position should be adjusted using the strip position fine adjust function.

In issues where any paper sensor is used, if the label pitch length is almost the same as the distance between the thermal print head and the paper sensors (75.5 mm), a label/tag may not be returned to the home position when operations with a backfeed (such as cut issues, strip issues, automatic forward feed standby) are performed. It may result in an error. In such cases, to prevent an error from occurring, the backfeed length should be increased by

Supplementary explanation
• When the [RESTART] and [FEED] keys are pressed at the same time, the display shows the system mode menu.
• If the [RESTART] or [FEED] key is held down for 0.5 seconds or more when a fine adjustment value is being set, the printer enters the repeat mode, in which the key is entered repeatedly.
• A changed fine adjustment value is stored in memory by pressing the [PAUSE] key.
• The printer is controlled by the sum of the fine adjustment parameter programmed on the printer and the fine adjustment command from the PC. However, the maximum values for each fine adjustment are as follows:
Feed fine adjustment ....................................................................... ±50.0 mm
Strip position fine adjustment .......................................................... ±50.0 mm
Back feed fine adjustment ................................................................. ±9.9 mm
Print density fine adjustment ............................................................. ±10 step
Ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment (Rewind) .............. -15 to +0 step
Ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment (Back tension)...... -15 to +0 step
• The X-coordinate fine adjustment is performed to finely adjust the X-coordinate of the drawing in the left or right direction. Adjust the X-coordinate in the effective print range.
(After the value reaches the coordinate “0”, the value remains unchanged even if a subsequent fine adjustment is performed in the negative direction.)
• The X-coordinate fine adjustment is not effective for the self-test results printout
(maintenance counter, various parameters, and automatic self-test) and the test print.
• The print density fine adjustment value is +0 step at the time of shipment from the factory.
• The ribbon rewind/back tension motors drive voltage fine adjustment values are the sum of the fine adjustment by the command (from the PC) and the fine adjustment in the system mode (by key operation). The maximum fine adjustment values are -15 for both the ribbon rewind motor and the ribbon back tension motor.
• The print density fine adjustment value is the sum of the fine adjustment by command
(from the PC) and the fine adjustment in the system mode (by key operation). The respective max. fine adjustment values are ±10. The max. value for each print speed is as below. When the value exceeds the maximum, it is automatically corrected to the max. value.

• When the [FEED] and [RESTART] keys are pressed at the same time, the display shows the system mode menu.
• If the [RESTART] or [FEED] key is held down for 0.5 seconds or more when a parameter is set or the menu is selected, the printer enters repeat mode, in which the key is entered repeatedly.
• Each fine adjustment parameter is effective for test print. However, the X-coordinate fine adjustment is excluded.
• When an error occurs during a test print, the error message is displayed and printing is stopped. The error is cleared by pressing the [PAUSE] key and the display shows the system mode menu. Printing is not automatically resumed after the error is cleared.
• A selected menu or changed parameter becomes effective by pressing the [PAUSE] key.
Such a parameter is retained until the power is turned off.
• The label size greater than the image buffer length cannot be designated. If it is designated, the printer prints in the image buffer length then stops, or the printer stops because of an error.
• The test print for the assembly process is performed under the following conditions.
The parameter setting and print density fine adjustment value are ignored. c Feeds one label. d Prints 3-dot slant lines. e Prints bar codes

• For B-SX4, the print speed “10 ips” is not supported for printing with the rotary cutter. If
“10 ips” is specified when the rotary cutter has been installed, the print speed is corrected from 10 ips to 6 ips, regardless of the cut designation.
For B-SX4, if less than 15.0 mm and 30.0 mm of the label pitch is specified for printing at
3 ips and 6 ips, respectively, an issue without a cut is performed.
For B-SX5, if less than 15.0 mm, 25.0 mm, 38.0 mm of the label pitch is specified for printing at 3 ips, 5 ips, and 8 ips, respectively, an issue without a cut is performed.
• Magnification of slant lines is as follows:
1-dot slant line (Black area ratio: 16.7%)
3-dot slant line (Black area ratio: 16.7%)

A read test is performed.
OFF: A read test is not performed.
ON: The printer enters the read test mode, and a read test is performed each time the
[PAUSE] key is pressed. The read data on the tag is displayed on the LCD message display. If the tag cannot be read, “RFID TIMEOUT” or “RFID READ ERROR” is displayed. Only the tags selected by the RFID tag type selection can be read. An
RFID tag read error will result if the type of the tag to be read and the type of the tag selected by the RFID tag type selection do not match. Make sure the RFID tag type has been selected before the read test is started.
LCD can display up to 16 digits x 2 lines data. (See below.)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
The data, displayed in hex. numbers, is an EPC code in the EPC area. (Only when the B-
SX704-RFID-U2 is used.) When the RFID tag contains data of 16 digits or more, the first
16 digits are displayed. When data volume is less than 16 digits, the vacant digits will be filled with spaces.
(2) RFID carrier sense setting
RESTART
FEED
• OFF:
• ON:
A carrier sense is not performed.
A carrier sense is performed.
OFF: A carrier sense is not performed.
ON: The printer enters the carrier sense mode, and performs a carrier sense. In 5 seconds, environmental radio wave of each channel is picked up for about 30 times
(Enabled only when the B-SX704-RFID-U2 is used.)
LCD display example
1 : 1 0 0 % M A X 0 0 1 1
2 : 9 0 % M A X 0 0 1 1
The left-most number indicates a channel number, and a percentage means the availability of the channel which is determined by performing approx. 30 carrier senses. Thus, “100%” means that this channel is not used by any other devices. The display can be scrolled up or down, from Channel 1 (1CH) to channel 9 (9CH), by using the [FEED] or [RESTART] key.
Pressing the [PAUSE] key causes the printer to perform a carrier sense again. To quit a carrier sense, press the [FEED] and [RESTART] keys at the same time.
“MAX 0011” means the value of the maximum radio wave picked up.
