Initial Printer Settings (PW208NX/PW208mNX)

To print the PDF data properly, you need to perform the following initial printer settings:

1.	Make sure that the PDF direct print mode is enabled.

After the PDF Direct Print firmware is installed on the printer, the direct print mode is enabled by default.

The DP (Direct Print) status icon is shown on the status bar at the top of the display.

If the DP status icon is not shown, you can enable the direct print mode in the settings mode > [Applications] > [DIRECT PRINT] menu. Select [Enable] to show the [Enable] menu and select [Enabled].

2.	Set the print language to SBPL.

PDF Direct Print only works on SBPL (SATO Barcode Printer Language) protocol. You need to set the printer language to SBPL in the settings mode > [Applications] > [Protocol] menu.

3.	Set the label size.

Set the length and width of the label in the settings mode > [Printing] > [Label Length] and the settings mode > [Printing] > [Label Width] menus.

　

• The Auto Measure function is not recommended to be used for PDF direct print. Disable the [Auto Measure] and set the [Label Length] and [Label Width] of the label accordingly.

4.	Set other printer settings to match the label.

Set the following printer settings based on the label used.

◦	Settings mode > [Printing] > [Speed]

◦	Settings mode > [Printing] > [Sensor Type]

◦	Settings mode > [Printing] > [Darkness]
