IMPORTANT HINTS FOR PRINTER OPERATION
•
To ensure that the printer starts up correctly, it is advisable to program several FEED dot lines before each print
job.
•
If the printing direction is changed, the printer automatically compensates the gear backlash. Nevertheless, there
may be small positioning deviations.
•
Large changes in the printing speed, e.g. a discontinuous data stream can lead to bad print quality.
•
In principle, thermal printers are not suitable for continuous operation without pauses in printing. Please note
the performance data.
•
Not every possible combination of settings for print current consumption and print dynamics produces good
print results.
•
An increase in the standard print density (blackening) leads in principle to a reduction in the service life of the
printhead.
•
Printing horizontal lines:
When printing horizontal lines at low speed, there is inherently a high adhesive force between the printhead and
the paper. This adhesive force can extensively increase to damage a printout. In extreme cases, even the
printhead can be damaged.
•
The printhead manufacturer specifies the mileage of the printhead as 100 km MTBF. The printer achieves this
value with the specified paper under compliance with the test conditions.
•
Humidity and temperature ranges depend essentially on the paper used. With the specified unprinted thermal
paper, the printer reaches the specifications of the technical data. Changes can lead to a limitation of the
humidity and temperature range.
•
The print speed is a function of voltage, printhead temperature, the speed at which the paper is moved and the
number of subdivisions per dot line. The maximum print speed specified can be achieved at room temperature if
all dots in a dot line are printed simultaneously without further subdivisions.
