1. SCOPE 
This specification describes key operations of the B-SA4T Series general-purpose bar code printers 
(hereinafter referred to as “B-SA4T”) using the B-SA4T keys and the LCD display. 
 
2. OUTLINE 
The B-SA4T key operations are performed roughly in two modes: online mode and system mode.    In 
online mode, where the B-SA4T is connected to a host device such as a personal computer, the key 
operations are performed mainly to pause or restart the B-SA4T and to display printer status...

5. ONLINE MODE 
5.1 KEY FUNCTIONS 
[FEED] key:  (1)  Feeds or ejects one label.    This key is also used to adjust a label to a proper 
position.    When the label is not properly positioned, feed one or two blank 
labels using this key before printing so that the printer can start printing at the 
proper position.   
  (2)  Prints data in the image buffer on one label according to the system mode 
setting. 
  NOTE:  When printing is initiated by the [FEED] key, a Clear command or a 
drawing...

5.5 THRESHOLD SETTING 
5.5.1  Outline of Threshold Setting 
To always start printing at a proper position, the printer automatically corrects a print start 
position using a transmissive or reflective sensor.  However, the printer sometimes fails to 
correct the print start position properly.     
For label papers, a transmissive sensor is used to detect a gap between labels.  When 
preprinted labels are used, transmissivity may vary due to inks used, and the printer may not be 
able to correct...

5.6 INFORMATION MODE 
5.6.1  Outline of the Information Mode   
In the information mode, the total feed amount

counted at the end of feed or printing, and saved in the non-volatile memory. 
NOTES: 
1.  The effective range of the feed amount 
(*1)
 is as follows. When the feed amount exceeds the 
maximum, the maximum value will be saved. 
In unit...
