Printhead-sensor distance
Special function for setting non-standard punch sensors. Such sensors can
be applied in special application devices ("Nistan"). The value x is the dis-
tance between thermal edge and punch sensor in millimeters.
x mm
Setting range: 0 to 400 mm
A „non standard sensor“ must be installed and connected instead of the
regular punch sensor.
0 = disabled (the regular punch sensor is used).

Ribbon automatic economy mode („ribbon saving“)
Generally can be chosen between thermal transfer printing and thermal direct
printing. It is necessary to select the type of printing in order to be able to
switch over the ribbon end detection.
Switching on the Ribbon automatic economy mode in
thermal transfer
mode
interrupts the ribbon feed between print periods. This saves ribbon, particu-
larly with long labels with a minimum print area. The additional feature in tur-
bo mode is that a higher feed speed is used between the print periods. The
feed speed is set in
PRINT PARAMETERS > Feed speed.
With the setting
„
Thermal/headlift
“
activated in
thermal direct
mode, the print-
head is lifted between print periods. This reduces printhead abrasion.
The settings „On“,
„
Thermal/headlift
“
and „On Turbo“ should only be
activated with unprinted areas from at least approx. 10 mm in length.
