Present Sensor
The Printer can be configured for a “one up” printing mode. With the
sensor installed and enabled, the Printer will not print the next label in
its internal buffer(s) until the last label printed has been removed from
the Printer. Quantities of labels (printed one at a time) can still be
requested by the internal batch labeling software or by remote
computing devices.
1.3 Supplies
Print Media
The Printer is capable of both direct thermal and thermal transfer
printing. The Printer allows for software and direct setting of many
printing parameters, such as the head temperature, print speed, and slew
rates. This enables the Printer to be compatible with many direct
thermal or thermal transfer media.
Media sizes can range from 0.75"(19 mm) wide by 0.50"(13 mm) long to
4.65" (118 mm) wide by 99.99"(2539 mm) long. Label edge sensing is
carried out by an optical photo sensor located 1/4" from the left edge of
the media as it is fed out of the Printer. The sensor establishes the
leading edge of a label, tag, or form by measuring levels of opaqueness.
This sensor is controlled by the microprocessor in the Printer and
requires no adjustment when changing media. Media thickness can
range from 0.0023" (0.06 mm) to .008" (0.20 mm).
Supply rolls are to be wound on standard 1.5" (38 mm) or 3" (76 mm)
inside diameter cores. The maximum roll diameter should not exceed 8"
(203 mm).
