Honeywell H-Class Present Sensor
Product Information
The Present Sensor Option is an additional feature for the H-Class printer.
This option allows users to detect and remove labels from the printer easily.
It comes with a Present Sensor
Assembly that needs to be installed onto the printer.
Product Usage Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Printer
- Turn off the Power Switch and unplug the printer’s power cord from the AC Receptacle.
- Press down on the Catch and pull forward to remove the Door.
- Raise the Access Cover and remove any media from the printer.
- Loosen and remove the Thumbscrew, then remove the Tear Plate.
If equipped with an Arc Plate, Cutter, or Peel and Present option, remove that device instead.
Step 2: Installing the Present Sensor
- Carefully press the Present Sensor Assembly into the Front Plate Connector.
- Secure the Present Sensor Assembly to the printer using the previously removed Thumbscrew.
- Place the Tabs of the Door into the Base Plate, and then press the Catch into the Present Sensor Assembly.
Step 3: Using the Option
During operation, labels will be dispensed “on-demand” – that is,
subsequent printing will occur only after a previously printed label has been
removed from the printer. As a reminder, “REMOVE LABEL” will be displayed to
prompt you when a label awaits removal. Begin using the option as follows:
- Load media and close the Access Cover (see the Operator’s Manual for details).
- Plug the power cord into the AC Receptacle and turn ‘On’ the Power Switch.
- Ensure that READY is displayed on the Front Panel then press the FEED Key, and proceed according to your observations:
- If REMOVE LABEL is displayed on the Front Panel, this completes the installation; or,
- If REMOVE LABEL is not displayed on the Front Panel, proceed to Step 4: “Configuring the Printer.”
Notes:
- The operation of the Present Sensor can also be controlled by host software commands, so ensure that your labeling program is properly configured for use when sending label formats to the printer.
- If the Present Sensor is removed with power applied, the printer will behave as if a label awaits removal; to restore normal operation, cycle power to the printer.
Step 4: Configuring the Printer
While the Present Sensor is a plug and play device, this step may be necessary
if the printer’s default configuration has been changed. Follow the steps
below to configure the printer:
Note: In the following procedure, consult the Operator’s Manual for detailed
front panel instructions.
- A) Press the MENU Button on the printer’s front panel.
- B) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to PRINTER OPTIONS then press the RIGHT Button.
- C) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to PRESENT SENSOR then press the ENTER Key.
- D) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to MODE then press the ENTER Key.
- E) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to AUTO then press the ENTER Key.
- F) Press the EXIT Key then, at the SAVE CHANGES? prompt, select YES to complete the installation.
- G) Turn the Power Switch ‘Off’ and ‘On’ to reset the printer and complete the configuration.
Notes:
- Ensure that your labeling program is properly configured for use when sending label formats to the printer.
- If the Present Sensor is removed with power applied, the printer will behave as if a label awaits removal. To restore normal operation, cycle power to the printer.
