(57) The invention concerns an arrangement for the automatic setting of printers, and
more particularly the setting of printer parameters by means of code reading, and
materials therefor. The parameters concern the printer work parameters, data communication,
or printing layout. The code to be read may be applied directly onto the material
to be used in the printer, or on separate sheets or labels. With the invention, an
optimum setting of the printer (1) is automatically achieved, entailing high quality
and making the printer easily usable also by unqualified personnel. The arrangement
comprises a printing mechanism (2) and a control unit (3) for achieving a print-out
on a printing material by means of a dye. According to the invention, a code reader
(4, 5) is connected to the control unit (3) for reading a code for controlling at
least one parameter of the printer means. The code may alternatively be associated
with the receiver material, the dye, a peripheral device of the printer means, or
a printing layout.
