Printing on a lower heat setting uses less battery power and allows the printer
to print labels at a faster rate.
Motor
Motor speed (how fast or slowly the motor feeds the label past the print head)
may be decreased or increased by pressing the
deC
and
inC
soft keys or by
using the direction pad.
Feed
When auto-feed is on, the label is automatically advanced past the cutter position
after printing is completed. When auto-feed is off, the user must press
to
advance the label after printing is completed.
Disabling auto-feed is useful when designing labels that merge or split lines (see
label example on page 36).
The auto-feed setting may be enabled or disabled with the
Feed
soft key.
TEST
This soft key directs users to another series of soft key options related to testing
printer performance.
Feed
The printer’s feed feature may be tested by pressing the
FOrWard
and
bi-dir
(bi-directional) soft keys. Loaded supply feeds from the printer.
Test
This soft key tests print head heat settings by printing heat test results onto the
supply. The user may verify which setting yields the best print results and apply
that heat setting to a label print job. See
Heat
on page 30.
