IMPORTANT: on the first access, it is necessary to correctly configure the printer. These steps are essential to ensure proper label printing.
1. Select the option Labels and, in the printer listing, select Other printer;
2. Click on Printer Properties;
3. On this screen, the available options for the Argox printer used in label printing will be displayed:
Recommended Settings:
Printer language: the Argox OS214 Plus printer supports PPLA language;
Barcode type: select the type of barcode. The default is Code 128.
Barcode multiplier (thick and thin): Adjustment of barcode dimensions. If necessary, change the values so that the dimensions are displayed at the desired size;
Print text below the barcode: Select whether or not to display the text below the barcode, as shown in the examples below:
With text below the barcode:
Without text below the barcode:
Printing temperature: The temperature value controls the printing contrast. To achieve better quality prints, factors such as paper type and Ribbon type should be considered.
IMPORTANT: Very high temperatures can result in dense and blurry prints, making it difficult to read the code.
Printing speed: Set the printing speed as follows:
| Command | Parameter n (in millimeters/second) | Parameter n (in inches/second) |
| PA | 25.4 | 1 |
| PB | 38.09 | 1.5 |
| PC | 50.8 | 2 |
| PD | 63.5 | 2.5 |
| PE | 76.19 | 3 |
| PF | 88.89 | 3.5 |
| PG | 101.6 | 4 |
| PH | 114.3 | 4.5 |
| PI | 127 | 5 |
| PJ | 139.7 | 5.5 |
| PK | 152.39 | 6 |
| Printer Model | Printing Range |
| OS214/204/202 | A to E |
| OS314 | A to C |
| X1000+ | A to G |
| X1000+/X3000+ | A to K |
IMPORTANT: The printing speed also affects print quality; the higher the printing speed, the faster the printer needs to heat and cool the print points. Thermal printers are not recommended for printing barcodes printed vertically, as they do not have the ideal print quality for this type of label.
Printer Path/Port: This field is mandatory and must contain the mapping \\computer\\printer_name.
Configuration Example:
After correctly completing the configurations, the printer will be displayed without configuration alerts.
