Operator’s Manual SOLID T11 DT / TT
Edition 1.1
7. Panel Functions
!
For the panel functions described in the following text, the printer is
presumed to be turned on and in the ON LINE mode.
7.1. Print Process Selecting
This function allows to select the print process.
While direct thermal printing the device operates without ribbon,
direct thermal media is required.
While thermal transfer printing a ribbon is needed to transfer the
print contents onto the media (see chapter 5 Handling of
Consumables, too).
The printer SOLID T11 DT only supports direct thermal printing.
The SOLID T11 TT can be used for thermal transfer printing and
direct thermal printing.
For direct thermal printing it is not allowed to insert a ribbon to
avoid damaging the printhead.
Make sure your settings match to the printer implementation (ribbon
inserted/not inserted).
Please note:
The printer is equipped with a paper end sensor to detect when the
media supply has been depleted.
It is very important that this sensor be kept operating properly since
the printhead depends upon the presence of the media as a heat
sink. See section 8.1.4 Sensor cleaning.
Printing without media under the head can result in damage to the
printhead!
