MCP1000 Series
Thermal Printer
Menu Mode
This mode is selected each time the printer is manually switched off (and paper is loaded).
At the start of menu mode, the printer prints a menu, and ejects enough paper so that the menu can be viewed.
The top level menu is shown below:
|Please Choose an option |
|0 presses = switch off |
|1 press = set time |
|2 presses = set date |
|3 presses = stats print |
|4 presses = erase all |
|5 presses = erase last |
Options 3&4 will only appear if statistical functions have been enabled. Option 5 will only appear if single reading
erase has been enabled.
Once the menu has been printer, the user has 5 seconds to press the mode button for the first time. The printer
counts presses, and assumes that the user has finished making a selection after 5 seconds have elapsed.
Setting the Time
On choosing “Set Time” the user must will be presented with the following text:
|hh:mm:ss increase hours|
Each press of the mode button will increase the hours by one (wrapping from 23 to 0). When the user does not
press within one second, the latest the time is printed again. When the user does not press within a further five
seconds, the text…
|hh:mm:ss increase mins |
prompts the user to alter the next field, and so on, until the time setting is complete.
As the clock is stopped for the whole of the time setting process, the text…
|hh:mm:ss start clock |
will allow the user to start the clock at a precise time. If the user does not press the mode button within 1 minute,
the clock starts anyway.
At the end of the process, the printer prints:
|hh:mm:ss time set |
Setting the Date
The date setting system follows the same basic rules (but the date is printed in the chosen format), but the year
setting always starts from 04, so that the user is not required to make 100 steps to decrease the year.
It is not necessary to start the clock running, as it is not stopped for this option.
