GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8
Print Technology
The
P
AN
T
HER
LS8 prints labels using thermal transfer printing technology.
The print head melts ink contained on a thin web of ribbon material allowing
the ink to transfer to the label material. The print head operates at a resolution
of 203 dots per inch (dpi).
Smart Label Cassette
P1
label cassettes are automatically detected by the
P
AN
T
HER
LS8 printer.
The LS8 printer automatically adjusts its settings according to the label
cassette that is installed. This process saves you the time and effort normally
required to begin printing. With the LS8, simply install the label cassette and
lock the drive roller. Now you are ready to begin printing.
P1
label
cassettes have an embedded memory device designed to improve your
labeling productivity. The device maintains an accurate count of the
remaining labels in the cassette. The device also recalls the last label design
used. Now when you take a label cassette out of the printer, your last label
design goes with the cassette.
Label Cutter
The
P
AN
T
HER
LS8 has a manually operated cutter blade. Press and release
the cutter button in order to cut your label. The cutter button has two possible
settings:
Full Cut and Partial Cut
.
Full Cut is used to cut entirely across a label and its liner. This is the familiar
cutting style used on other hand-held printers. Partial Cut is used to leave a
very small area of the label liner attached even after cutting. This is an
innovative adaptation to label cutting that allows you to avoid the frustration of
searching for the correct label within a disorganized pile or having to use
scissors. After using the partial cut setting, you will take a strand of labels to
a job and then separate them as needed. In this way, your labels remain in
the order they were printed.
The Cut Pause feature allows you to cut between labels during a print job.
When Cut Pause is turned on, the printer will stop printing and allow you to
cut the label. After cutting, the printer will resume printing. The Cut Pause
feature is turned on or off inside of the Setup menu.
Carrying Case
The
P
AN
T
HER
LS8 has a custom protective carrying case constructed of
durable plastic material. The case provides a convenient method of
transporting the printer, label cassettes, and accessories to and from a job
site.
