A GENERAL The Keyboard Display Unit (KDU) is a terminal INSTRUCTIONS unit that interfaces with a printer in a stand- Protecting Data If the label form has been designed to hide a alone capacity. The KDU has sixty-two (62) keys and a 2-line, 20 character LCD display. The KDU is powered by and communicates with the printer through an RS232 serial port with a DB-9 (standard printers). The KDU is strictly a terminal and does not have the capability to store data or set up parameters. The KDU is used for the following functions: · List label forms stored in printer · Retrieve label forms stored in printer · Input variable data · Printing labels variable prompt, i.e., Store No., that data will be protected and this prompt will appear only when the form is initially retrieved. Another label design command will prevent a prompt from ever showing and may be desirable for applications where data should not be changed, i.e. Serial Numbers. This method is not supported by the portable printer. For information on designing, accessing and modifying protected prompts, see the programming manual. Communications The KDU communication to the printer is set to 9600 Baud, No Parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit. Caution Do not remove the display lens or connector covers. The covers protect the KDU and attached printer from harmful or disruptive electro-static discharges (ESD). Using other devices by connecting to the KDU's Auxiliary port (located under the protective cover), may violate radiated emissions standards (EMC) in your locale. Do not remove covers Page 2 980010-006 Rev. A 980010-006 Rev. A Page 7 Printing Forms with Consecutive Number Fields If the form contains a consecutive number field, the system will automatically keep track of the next number sequence. If you do not need to interfer with this predetermined sequence, press ENTER at this prompt. The final prompt is: Copies of Each Label 1_ SET UP Switch the printer power to OFF and connect the KDUs 9-pin connector to the printers serial port, then switch power ON.

If one (1) copy is desired, press ENTER to print that label. Note: Change the quantity if you desire multiple labels with the same consecutive number. closed character set overlay to mark the alterante characters. To activate these characters, hold down the SHIFT key and enter your selection. Edit a Form Once a form has been activated, it will auto- matically indicate the last information keyed in. If you want to retain that information, press ENTER. To Enter Data: 1) Enter the new data, thereby overriding the old data, or 2) Press ENTER if the old data is correct, or 3) Use the orange backspace key or the CLEAR key to modify data. When you have finished editing and have printed the label, you will automatically return to the first variable prompt. OPERATION Use the following steps to retrieve label form and produce labels with the printer and KDU. At power ON, the Main Menu reads: FORM - retrieve form F2 - list forms vx.x Exit a Form - Press EXIT at any time to return to the Main Menu, or press FORM to select another form. Page 6 List of Saved Press the F2 key to print a list of saved forms. Forms The time and date will print out if that option is installed. If not installed, the time and date will print as zeros. Page 3 980010-006 Rev. A 980010-006 Rev. A Retrieve a Form Press the FORM key. The top line in the display will prompt: _ Enter Form Name: Printing Forms If the form contains variables, the display line with Variables will display the 1st variable prompt, i.e.: Store No. _ Enter the form name using the keys on the keyboard. Upper and lower case letters must match exactly as the form name was saved. If a scanner is connected to the KDU, you may enter the form name by scanning. When the form name is entered, press ENTER to continue. The form is now retrieved and active in the printer. Enter data at each variable prompt and press ENTER. The final prompt is: Number of Label Sets 1_ The default number of labels is always one (1). Single Label - If one (1) label is desired, press ENTER to print that label. Printing Forms If the form does not contain variables, the diswithout Variables play line will prompt: Number of Label Sets 1_ Multiple Labels - If multiple labels are desired, enter the new quantity and press ENTER to print labels. Exit a Form - Press EXIT at any time to return to the Main Menu, or press FORM to select another form. The default number of labels is always one (1). Single Label - If one (1) label is desired, press ENTER to print that label. Multiple Labels - If multiple labels are desired, enter the new quantity and press ENTER to print labels. Exit a Form - Press EXIT at any time to return to the Main Menu, or press FORM to select another form. Page 4 980010-006 Rev. A 980010-006 Rev. A Page 5 ...
