Two-Colour Printing
For printing in a second colour, the DuoPrint is equipped with an additional printing unit.
A = Front printhead
B = Rear printhead
Label Design
When creating a label, it must, in addition to the contents to be printed, also be determined which contents are to be printed in
the second colour, i.e. by the rear printhead.
The procedure depends on the transfer of the label.
NOTICE!
When creating the label, attention must be paid to the correct setting of the label size and slot length. Incorrectly
set values may result in an offset within the print image.
Correcting the Printout
Mechanical tolerances may result in a shift in the black and coloured layouts to each other. These deviations can be corrected
by setting the X and Y offsets. The offset settings of the two printheads work independently of each other.
Front printhead: Service functions/Colour orientation
Rear printhead: Service functions/Zero point adjustment
NOTICE!
First of all, set the offset value for the first printhead. After the first printhead has been placed correctly, the offset
values for the rear printhead are to be adjusted.
Material Loss
As the print images are printed at different positions on the label, a minimal amount of label material is lost when the printing
process has been started. This is unavoidable, since rewinding the label material is not possible for reasons of a safe material
feeding process.
In order to prevent material losses during the ongoing print job, it is checked after each completely finished label printing
process whether there is sufficient print data to print the next label. The furthe rbehaviour can be set in menu

Error Correction
In the event of recoverable errors such as transfer ribbon errors, the printing process can be continued after the error has been
corrected. In this case, all labels which have not yet been completed are printed again.
