Calibrating Labels in the

Thermal Printer

The label optic must be calibrated to detect and synchronize with the

labels after you have finished either one of the following operations:

• Installing a new roll of labels

• Changing the ribbon

• Adjusting the ADC reference value

• Manually moving the labels

Perform the following steps to calibrate the labels.

1. Put your finger near the label application point (the right edge of the

application plate).

2. Press

CAL

on the front panel of the 2500.

3. Use your finger to catch the three or four labels ejected while the

labels are being calibrated.

Installing Devices in

the Input Track

The orientation of devices in the input track is critical.

The 2500 uses the

location of pin 1 (as specified in the Task you are running) to determine

how to rotate the beam so that it correctly inserts the device in the

programming module’s block. Because the way you insert devices in the

input track is already defined as part of the Task, you must know your

company’s standards and be careful to insert each tube of devices to

match that standard.

In most cases, the default orientation defined by TaskLink is used. At the

start of a Task, TaskLink displays a drawing with the position that the

Task has defined for pin 1 (see Figure 4-21). Install devices upside-down

so that their leads point toward the ceiling (see Figure 4-17).

The default positions for pin 1 are:

• DIP and SOIC devices: Pin 1 is to the right, closest to the input tube.

• 32-pin PLCC devices: Pin 1 is to the right, closest to the input tube.

• Square PLCC devices: Pin 1 is pointing to the back of the 2500.

CAUTION: Insert all input tubes with the device leads pointing up

toward the ceiling. Insert square PLCC devices with pin 1

oriented toward the back of the 2500, away from you. Insert

rectangular PLCC (32-pin), DIP and SOIC devices so that

pin 1 is oriented to the right. Failure to insert devices so they

match the Task configuration may damage both the device

and the programming module.

To insert a tube according to these defaults, hold the tube so you can see

the top of the devices and the pin 1 indicator (see Figure 4-17). Turn the

tube upside-down (rotate it 180 degrees) and insert the tube in the input

tube holder.

Running a Task

Start TaskLink at the DOS prompt in the directory where TaskLink is

installed. Type:

After a few seconds, the Run Task/Kit list box appears (similar to the one

shown in Figure 4-2). A Kit is a special collection of Tasks, which will be

explained later in this chapter. For now, ignore all references to Kits.

The Tasks and Kits available in the current Task/Kit database file (shown

in the

Task/Kit Database

entry field) are listed in the

Task/Kit

list box.

Selecting a Task

To select a Task from the list presented on the screen, press

to move

the cursor to the

Task/Kit

list box. Use the

↑

↓

to highlight a specific

Task name. Press

↵

to start that Task.

Selecting a Database

File

If the Task you are looking for is not displayed, it may be located in a

different Task database file. To select a different Task/Kit database file,

highlight the

Task/Kit Database

entry line and press

Select the path and filename of the Task/Kit database file you want in the

Filename

entry field, or select it from the

Dirs/Drives

and

Files

list boxes.

Press

↵

, or select

<OK>

to accept the new database filename.

Now select the Task you want to run from the list as described above.

Select Process

A list of processes may appear depending on how the Task was written.

A process is a list of operations that will be performed on the devices in

the Task. If a list of processes appears, you must make a choice similar to

the one in Figure 4-19. Check the instructions you have been given to help

you decide which process to select. In this example, the only difference

between these two processes is that one does not call for labeling the

device.

Select the desired process and press

↵

Other Prompts

Other prompts, such as those described below, may appear depending on

the types of devices listed in the Task. Then the action status box appears

showing what percentage of the data has been loaded.

Selecting a Device

A Task-specific device list may appear asking you to select from several

device IC manufacturers. Check the tubes of devices you will be running

and select the appropriate manufacturer and device type from the screen.

Use the

↑

and

↓

keys to move the screen cursor between devices. Press

↵

to select the device and continue running the Task.
