Prelimininary Tests
The media width and height given in the Technical Specifications are suggested
values for media when using the present sensor :
Label Width : A3-2: 1 to 2.3 in (25-60 mm)
A3, A4: 1 to 4.6 in (25-116 mm)
A6 : 2 to 6.9 in (50-176 mm)
Label Height : A3-2, A3, A4: .5 to 7.9 in (12-200 mm)
A6: 1 to 7.9 in (25-200 mm)
CAUTION !
When using different media from the specifications, for example
- media which is smaller than the specifications above,
- very thin media,
- very thick silicon liner,
- media with aggressive adhesive,
- transparent media
it is recommended to test the media before !
For A3 the print speed in the peel-off mode is limited to maximum 4 ips
(100mm/s). This limitation guarantees a correct operation in the dispense
mode when using maximum supply rolls (diameter 8 in (203mm), width 4.7 in
(120mm)) also with A3 . When using supply rolls with a small outside diameter it
is possible to increase the print speed during on-demand labelling. For that
purpose the speed limitation has to switch off. Then the print speed can be set
on all possibilities until 8 ips (200mm/s) for A3/200P or until 6 ips (150mm/s) for
A3/300P .
CAUTION !
When operating the A3 with higher speed it is strongly recommended to
carry out preliminary tests using the appropriate maximum rolls !
For A3-2, A4 and A6 there is no limitation of the print speed in peel-off mode.
