SECTION 1. PRINTER OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The OKIPOS T400/T410 Thermal Transfer Printers are complete, high-performance onsite labeling systems. All printer parameters are user programmable using software commands or the utility program provided. All popular bar codes and 15 human-readable fonts, includinga vector font and two raster fonts, are resident in memory providing literally thousands of type styles and sizes. Additional fonts can be downloaded into memory. The Operator's Manual will help you understand the basic operations of the printer such as setup, installation, configuration, cleaning and maintenance. The major difference in the T400 and the T410 printers is the resolution of the head. The T400 with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print labels up to four inches wide. The T410S higher 305 dpi resolution provides greater detail for graphics and small point size text. The OKIPOS T400/T410 printers use a subset of the standard OKIPOS T400/T410 Command Language. The T400 and T410 share the same command set, the only difference is the allowable values representing the print positions on the label. These values are specified in "dots" and will vary depending on the resolution of the printer and the amount of memory available for imaging the label. The allowable range for each printer is specified in a table for those command codes. This commonalty makes it very easy to convert labels from one OKIPOS T400/T410 printer to another without having to create an entirely different command stream. There are some caveats that must be observed though to compensate for the different resolution print heads. The effect of the different printer resolutions are best illustrated by taking a label designed for a 203 dpi printer and sending the command stream to its 305 dpi counterpart. The label printed will be an exact two-thirds scale, including the fonts, bar code dimensions and line lengths/widths. The only exceptions are PostNet and Maxicode which have only one legal size and the printer resolution is automatically compensated for by the printer. Conversely, a label designed for a 305 dpi printer and sent to its 203 dpi cousin will be one-third larger. It probably will be "truncated" if the label size is larger than the maximum allowable for the printer.

PRINTER OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The OKIPOS T400/T410 Thermal Transfer Printers are complete, high-performance onsite
labeling systems. All printer parameters are user programmable using software commands or the
utility program provided. All popular bar codes and 15 human-readable fonts, includinga vector
font and two raster fonts, are resident in memory providing literally thousands of type styles and
sizes. Additional fonts can be downloaded into memory.
The Operator’s Manual will help you understand the basic operations of the printer such as
setup, installation, configuration, cleaning and maintenance.
The major difference in the T400 and the T410 printers is the resolution of the head. The T400
with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print
labels up to four inches wide. The T410S higher 305 dpi resolution provides greater detail for
graphics and small point size text.
The OKIPOS T400/T410 printers use a subset of the standard OKIPOS T400/T410 Command
Language. The T400 and T410 share the same command set, the only difference is the
allowable values representing the print positions on the label. These values are specified in
“dots” and will vary depending on the resolution of the printer and the amount of memory
available for imaging the label. The allowable range for each printer is specified in a table for
those command codes.
This commonalty makes it very easy to convert labels from one OKIPOS T400/T410 printer to
another without having to create an entirely different command stream. There are some caveats
that must be observed though to compensate for the different resolution print heads. The effect of
the different printer resolutions are best illustrated by taking a label designed for a 203 dpi printer
and sending the command stream to its 305 dpi counterpart. The label printed will be an exact
two-thirds scale, including the fonts, bar code dimensions and line lengths/widths. The only
exceptions are PostNet and Maxicode which have only one legal size and the printer resolution is
automatically compensated for by the printer. Conversely, a label designed for a 305 dpi printer
and sent to its 203 dpi cousin will be one-third larger. It probably will be “truncated” if the label
size is larger than the maximum allowable for the printer.
