Print Intensity
This option specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used
for the type of media and ribbon installed.
Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for each dot.
This has a significant effect on print quality. The print intensity and speed
must match the media and ribbon type to obtain the best possible print quality
and barcode grades.
The range is from -15 to +15.
The factory default is -3.
Print Speed
This option specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the media
passes through the printer while printing.
The range is from 1 to 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The factory default is 6 ips.
NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum printer width
and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the printhead installed (203 or
300 dpi). See Table 18 on page 333.
Print Mode
This option specifies the type of printing to be done.
•
Transfer . Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).
•
Direct . Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special
heat sensitive media.
The factory default is Transfer.
Media Handling
This option specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
•
Tear-Off Strip . Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front until
the print buffer is empty, then positions the trailing edge of the last label
over the tear bar for removal.
•
Tear-Off . After each label is printed, the printer positions the label over
the tear bar and waits for you to tear off the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). A “Remove Label” message will display to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Peel-Off . Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). When the optional internal rewinder is installed
with liner attached, a“Remove Label” message will display to remind you
to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
