4.2.2 Print Control
The Print Control menu contains print quality, throughput, formatting, and custom setup
functions:
Menu Item Details
HEAT
Controls the burn-time of the printhead (selectable as
“Heat” in most labeling programs), where:
—
10 (0 – 30) Is the number based on duration, corresponding to
print darkness.
PRINT SPEED
Controls the rate of label movement during printing,
where:
—
XX.Xin/sec Is the speed setting; see Appendix C for the model
dependant default and range.
;
Slower speeds may be required to print detailed
images, while faster printing may require an
increased HEAT setting for sufficient energy
transfer.
FEED SPEED
Controls the rate of label movement between printing
areas, where:
—
XX.Xin/sec Is the speed setting; see Appendix C for the model
dependant default and range.
REVERSE SPEED
Controls the rate of label movement during backup
positioning, where:
—
X.Xin/sec Is the speed setting; see Appendix C for the default
and range.
SLEW SPEED
Controls the rate of label movement between printing
areas when using the optional Applicator Interface
Card’s GPIO function, where:
—
XX.Xin/sec Is the speed setting; see Appendix C for the default
and range.
ROW OFFSET
Shifts the vertical start of print position on the label,
where:
—
00.00 (0 – 99.99 in.) Is the offset distance; see Section 7 for label details.
COLUMN OFFSET
Shifts the horizontal, left-justified start of print
position to the right without shifting the Label Width
termination point to the right, where:
—
00.00 (0 – 99.99 in.) Is the offset distance; see Section 7 for label details.
