Settings for the material type
The parameter settings described below provide the printer with the necessary infor-
mation about the label material used. When printing from a layout program, these set-
tings are usually provided automatically by the printer driver. For your first test prints,
you need to configure them manually.

The label material is “endless”, which means that it contains
no
punches/perforations,
breaks or reflex marks that could be recognised by the punch sensor:
Set the
PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type
to “endless”.
The label material contains punches/perforations, breaks or reflex marks that can be
recognised by the punch sensor (so-called “punched” material):
Set the
PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type
to “Punched”.
Material length
Set the
PRINT PARAMETER > Material Length
to the length of the material (in mm).
Material width
Set the

Printing the status report
A status report printout is a perfectly adequate printer test. The width of the status
printout can be set to 100 mm or 50 mm. This should match the width of the label ma-
terial used. The length of the printout is 200 mm.
100 mm width

INFO PRINTOUT > Printer Status
.
The printout that is triggered spans a label length of 2x 200 mm, listing all of the print-
er’s current parameter settings.
50 mm width
Set the
SYSTEM PARAMETER > Print Info Mode
to “Compact right”.
Navigate to
INFO PRINTOUT > Printer Status
.

pressed to a width of 50 mm.
