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.
