For Label Type = 1 or 2,

you will always see this screen.

Label Type 2

: This is linerless-

continuous strip label media or

receipt thermal paper.

Both of

these do not have

liner-backing

paper. Type 2 works the same as

Type 1 except that the pick-up

motor will not operate, as there

should be no liner to pick-up.

Width:

This value is the width of the label or paper and NOT the width of the liner backing paper. It must

be specified in millimeters. If this value is incorrect then some label formats may print properly but no

receipts or reports will print properly. The

Width

can be from 20 mm to 80 mm.

Feed

: This value determines the amount of labels/paper to feed when you press the

FEED

key. The

Feed

value can be 0 mm to 170 mm. The

Feed

field is only for type 1 or 2.

Rcpt Feed:

This value is the amount of blank space to feed after each receipt, report, or label is printed.

This is done so that the paper cutter can tear the receipt or label properly. The

Rcpt Feed

can be from 0

mm to 170 mm. The

Rcpt Feed

field is only for type 1 or 2.

You can press

SAVE

or the

ENTER

key while the cursor is on the last field in order to save the current

screen contents and return to the previous menu, or press the

ESC

key to return to the previous menu.

10.6 Feed Adjust

At the Printer Hardware

Settings Menu screen, press the 5

key for Feed Adjust. The Feed

Adjust screen will then appear.

Feed Adjustment

: This is a fine

adjustment that controls the print
position from top-to-bottom on a

label. The higher the number, the

higher the printing will appear.

The lower the number, the low er the printing will appear. The norm is 100. 1 Feed Adjustment is 1/8 of a

millimeter, therefore if you change the Feed Adjustment from 100 to 108, then everything will print 1 mm

higher on the label.

You can also use this feature to make sure that when you print a label, it will come out far

enough to be easily removed from the liner backing paper. For example, if the label feeds out too far

then the labels may fall-off after they print. If the label does not feed out far enough, then the labels

may need to be pulled-on after they print. Another reason to change this value is when you use labels
with pre-printed lines and boxes. In this case, you may need to change the Feed Adjust so that fields

are printed in the right places; however, if that does not remedy the problem, you may have to fine-

tune the corresponding label format using the LP-2 Software Package. If you use the same label stock,

you will not need to change this value. Make sure to always use CAS Certified media. Using poor

quality media, whether it is thermal paper or labels, may damage your TPH.
