Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
Print Defi nes
Head Resistance
The printhead resistance is measured automatically at startup (read-only
information).
Testprint
The test labels ”Diamonds”, “Chess”, “Bar Codes #1”, and “Bar Codes
#2” are used to check the printout quality and facilitate adjustment of
the printhead pressure, see Chapter 12. The test labels “Setup Info” and
“Hardware Info” list the printer’s current setup and the installed elec-
tronic devices. Test label “Network Info” is only printed if the printer
has an optional EasyLAN interface board. If the information does not
fi t on one label, two or more labels will be printed. If the printer refuses
to print a test label, press the <F5/i> key to fi nd out what is wrong, for
example “printhead lifted” or “out-of paper”.
Print Speed
The print speed is variable between 100 and 225 mm/sec. Generally, the
lower the speed, the better the printout quality. This is especially true
when printing bar codes with the bars running across the media path
(“ladder style”), when printing on demanding face materials, and when
printing at low ambient temperatures. The default setting is 200 mm/sec.
(approx. 8 inches/sec.).
Refer to Appendix D for recommended maximum print speed for vari-
ous combinations of Intermec media and transfer ribbon.
LSS Test
The function on the label stop sensor (LSS) can be tested automatically
or manually as described in Chapter 12 “Adjustments.”
LTS (Label Taken Sensor)
The sensitivity of the LTS can be tested and adjusted as described in
Chapter 12 “Adjustments.”
