PRINT PARAMETERS
Print speed
AP 5.4
AP 5.6
The print speed (material feed) can be adjusted according to the ribbon and
material combination being used in order to optimise the contrast depth and
the density of the print image.
x Inch/s
Setting range: see table (tab. 3); Unit interval: 0,2 inch/s;
Default setting: 8 Inch/s
Feed speed
AP 5.4
AP 5.6
Setting:
The value for the feed speed should not be set too high for print applications
with long calculating units (e. g. consecutive numbering). This can help to
avoid alternating between abrupt braking to 0 (zero) and acceleration to print
speed.
When altering the print speed, the feed speed is equal to the print speed.
If a different feed speed is required, this must be set again.
x Inch/s
Setting range: see table (tab. 3); Unit interval: 0,2 inch/s;
Default setting: 8 Inch/s
Material type

The value is overwritten by the appropriate Easy Plug command when
sending label formats.
