Changing Sensor Type

The default sensor for the T200 is the Transmissive Sensor (Web) sensor. This should work for
all TMS products and standard labels. If the Reflective (Black Mark) sensor is required or
Continuous mode is required then the relevant procedures must be carried out.
6.1

Reflective (Black Mark) Sensor

To enable the Reflective (Black Mark) sensor a label must be printed to the printer with the
sensor set to Reflective (Black Mark) in either Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or
PrintEasy's Windows Printer Driver. Once a label with these settings has been sent to the
printer, the LED will display Red. The printer must then be calibrated on the Reflective (Black
Mark) product.
6.2

Continuous Sensing Mode

To enable continuous products to be printed the printer must be put into continous mode. To
enable this a label must be printed to the printer with the sensor set to Continuous in either
Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or PrintEasy's Windows Printer Driver. Once a label
with these settings has been sent to the printer the LED will display Red. The printer must then
be calibrated on the continuous product.
6.3

Transmissive Sensor

To return to the Transmissive (Web) sensor a label must be printed to the printer with the sensor
set to Transmissive (Web) in either Wintotal via Advanced Label Editing or PrintEasy's
Windows Printer Driver. Once a label with these settings has been sent to the printer, the LED
will display Red. The printer must then be calibrated on the Transmissive (Web) product.
Note: The calibration process is the same for all sensing modes and is described in section 5.0
Calibration.

Printer Firmware Versions

The printers will come pre-loaded with the correct firmware version:
T208M & T208M-C - firmware version 4.51 or newer.
T212M & T212M-C - firmware version 4.51 or newer.
The firmware version should not be changed or updated without checking with Tyco
Electronics. Not all versions of firmware will allow for the successful printing of Tyco
Electronics identification products.
The firmware version can be checked by undertaking a printer calibration. (see section 5.0
Calibration)
