Chapter 7 Setting Up the Printer
The media parameters tell the fi rmware the characteristics of the
media that will be used, so the printout will be positioned correctly
and get the best quality possible.
Media Size
The size of the printable area is defi ned by three parameters: X-Start,
Width, and Length.
X-Start
Specifi es the position of the origin along the dots on the printhead.
By default, X-start is 24 dots, which places the inner margin of the
print area 3 mm (0.118 inches) inside the edge of the media and
gives a maximum print width of 808 dots (101 mm/3.976 inches).
This prevents printing outside labels when the liner is slightly
wider than the labels.
If you want to use the entire media width, change the X-start
value to 0, which gives a maximum print width of 832 dots (104
mm/4.095 inches).
By increasing the value for the X-start parameter, the origin will be
moved outwards, away from the inner edge of the media path. In
other words, the larger the X-start value, the wider the inner margin
and the less available print width.
Width
Specifi es the width of the printable area in number of dots from the
origin. Thus, the sum of the X-start and width values gives the outer
margin of the printable area. The width should be set to prevent
printing outside the media, which may harm the printhead.
Length
Specifi es the length of the printable area in number of dots from the
origin along the Y-coordinate and allocates memory space for two
identical image buffers in the printer’s temporary memory. The size
of each buffer can be calculated using this formula:
Buffer size (bits) = [Print length in dots] x [Printhead width in dots]
Note that the temporary memory has other functions that also
require memory space. To obtain a longer print area, the memory
can be increased by fi tting a larger DRAM SIMM on the printer’s
CPU board as described in the Service Manual.
