Remote Enable – You may connect a control signal from the packaging machine that provides a
means of enabling or disabling the printer.
Asserting the input establishes the “enable printer” condition. This signal must be constantly held to
maintain the enabled state.
Print Input - Connect a control signal from the packaging machine that signals the printer it must
now print.
Asserting the input pulse triggers the printer to print once.
Sync Input – This input can have three uses:

 Reset the counter variable - For a print job that uses the counter variable, a control signal pulse
from the packaging machine can indicate to the printer it must now reset the count to the
beginning.
 Multi-Pack reset - For a print job that uses the Multi-Pack feature, a control signal from the
packaging machine can indicate to the printer it must now reset the label to start printing the first
package.
 Force printer reboot – to start the printer from a known condition including clearing any existing
print job, a control signal from the packaging machine must hold this signal for 3 seconds or
more.

ENCODER INPUT
Only for C-type (continuous) printers
The printer supports encoders:

 10 pulses per millimeter
 12 pulses per millimeter *standard
 NPN Open-collector output

Print Mode - Connect this control signal from the printer to indicate to the packaging machine that
a print job has been loaded and the printer is in the print mode, without problems – regardless of
idling or actively printing.
A closed circuit indicates the printer is in the print mode.
Fault - Connect this control signal from the printer to indicate to the packaging machine that the
printer has a fault.
A open circuit indicates the printer is free from problems.
A closed circuit indicates the printer is experiencing a fault. Some possible problems are:
! Cover/Cassette open
! No air pressure
! Ribbon broken
! Invalid label
Notes:
 The relay contacts open when the cassette (or cover) is opened. However, Bell-Mark
recommends that Fault not be used to signal this condition. See Guard Output.
 It is possible for a host computer to read back the specific error code from the printer. See
the RCMH statement in the BMPL (Bell-Mark Printer Language) Handbook.
Guard-Cassette - Connect this control signal from the printer to indicate to the packaging machine
that the printer’s cassette or cover is closed.
A open circuit indicates the printer’s cassette (or cover) is open.
A closed circuit indicates the printer’s cassette (or cover) is closed.
Low Ribbon - Connect this control signal from the printer to indicate to the packaging machine that
the printer’s ribbon is nearing the end. This is not considered a fault or a problem, only a warning.
A closed circuit indicates the printer’s ribbon will soon end.
Home - Connect this control signal from the printer to indicate to the packaging machine that the
printer’s carriage is physically home (I-type and MLP-type printers).
A closed circuit indicates the printer’s carriage is home.
Note:
 The carriage being home does not indicate the printer is Ready.
Page 10
Ready-Busy - The meaning of this signal depends on which printer type is being used:
MLP (for intermittent packaging READY = the printhead is lifted and it's now OK to advance
machines) the web. But the carriage may not yet be home or able to
accept the next print signal. See HOME OUTPUT below.
I-type (for intermittent packaging READY = the printhead is lifted and it's now OK to advance
machines) the web. But the carriage may not yet be home or able to
accept the next print signal. See HOME OUTPUT below.
C-type (for continuous packaging READY = the printer is ready to accept the print signal.
machines)
Notes:
 MLP & I-type - the relay contacts will close (Ready) while the carriage is returning home.
 The relay contact will open if a problem exists. However, Bell-Mark recommends that
Busy/Ready not be used to signal a fault condition. See Fault Output.

ETHERNET TCP/IP SETUP
The EP S32 control may be configured for connection with

an Ethernet LAN.
Bell-Mark furnishes the EasyPrinter with a default IP address
pre-programmed (Class C address):
192 . 168 . 0 . 128
private network address node address
There is a good chance that this IP address, as-delivered,

will not be compatible with your network.
LAN Connection
The IP-address of the Bell-Mark EasyPrint S32 system is easily reprogrammed using the touch screen. The
following procedure explains how to reconfigure the IP address of the printer.
It is not necessary that the control be connected either to the printer chassis or the Ethernet cable.
Bell-Mark strongly recommends that configuring any device connected to your
LAN be coordinated with your Network Administrator.

the Print Mode.
Your label
document name
If you need to make printer adjustments, you may press the STOP key to suspend the job and make your
adjustments.
When you send the next print job, the existing one is automatically discarded and the new one becomes active.
Page 20
STORING A PRINT JOB
The printer supports two types of local removable memory:
Compact Flash Card USB Flash Drive

Drive A: Drive U:
Print jobs can be stored to the CF Card or USB Flash Drive using either:
 VersaStyle label design software (recommended)
 Directly from the touchscreen
From the HOME screen…

- press the MAINTENANCE key
- press the FILE SYSTEM key
Page 21
RUN PRINT JOB (from Removable Memory)
A label that was previously stored on the CF Card or USB Memory Stick can be recalled. Loading it will
automatically activate the print job.
From the HOME screen… press the SELECT A LABEL key
So long as all other print conditions are met, the printer will print a label upon getting a print signal from the
packaging machine.
Note: If you already know the filename, it is also possible to directly enter the filename using:
 the on-screen alphanumeric keypad
 a standard computer keyboard
 a hand scanner
Page 22
REMOTE / LOCAL MODE
Normally 2 signals from the packaging machine are required to print:

1. REMOTE ENABLE
2. PRINT
If either the wiring to the packaging machine or packaging machine programming is not yet complete, it is still
possible to print using the local mode.
Page 23
CONTRAST SETTING
Purpose:
To adjust the heating energy used by the thermal printhead.
Steps:
From the HOME screen… press the MAINTENANCE key
Important Notes:
 Bell-Mark recommends for the longest thermal printhead life, use the lowest setting that produces
printing that meets the printing goals. This typically is between 70 - 110.
 Print darkness can be affected by things other than the Contrast setting: packaging material dyne level,
ribbon type, air pressure, and printhead mounting angle.
 For special applications, contact Bell-Mark to evaluate and advise the use of higher settings.
Page 24
PRINTER MECHANICS SETTINGS
The action of the printer's carriage, printhead, and ribbon drive are adjustable. Usually these are determined
at installation and do not have to be readjusted.:
Item Parameters Description
Print Carriage Print Speed How fast the carriage moves across the web material. This
affects machine cycle rate and may affect print quality.
Head (Print Head) Head Down How much time in advance of printing should the printhead
be commanded to press down. This anticipation is needed
to compensate for the time delays associated with the head
pneumatics.
Head Up How much time in advance of the end of printing should the
printhead be commanded to lift up. This anticipation is
needed to compensate for the time delays associated with
the head pneumatics.
Ribbon Ribbon Start How much time in advance of printing should the ribbon be
commanded to start. This anticipation is needed to
compensate for the time delays associated with the ribbon
pneumatics or the ribbon stepper motor.
Ribbon Stop How much time in advance of printing should the ribbon be
commanded to stop. This anticipation may be needed to
compensate for the time delays associated with the ribbon
pneumatics or the ribbon stepper motor.
Ribbon C-type only – recovers unused ribbon between images.
Retract
Ribbon C-type only – reduces ribbon consumption during printing

Ribbon Savings
For EP S32 C models only

Background
Ribbon Saving refers to moving the ribbon at a rate slower than the packaging material.
It is possible to achieve clearly readable images while using less ribbon. If the print quality of the image is
acceptable, it's then possible to save some ink ribbon costs by using Ribbon Saving.
Actual Print Normal ribbon usage
Ribbon usage is 1:1

with printed image
With 50% Ribbon Saving
Ribbon usage is 1:2

with printed image
To adjust ribbon savings, from the Home screen…

1. Press the Maintenance key
2. Press the Advance Setup key
3. Press the Mechanics key
Page 32
Notes:
 With small amounts of Ribbon Savings, print may actually be improved (appear darker).
 Very high settings for percentage Ribbon Saving may make the print appear grey.
 At some printing conditions (very high speeds), introducing Ribbon Saving may actually be necessary to
maintain print quality.
 Ribbon Saving is not compatible with “sticky” web material. If Ribbon Saving is expected to be used, Bell-
Mark strongly recommends that a test be conducted first to determine if the material is compatible.
Page 33
MANUALLY CLEAR THE PRINT BUFFER
