• Ticket (w mark) is used for labels, tickets, or continuous
stock provided with black marks at the back.
• Ticket (w gaps) is used for tickets and tags with detection
slits.
• Fix length strip is used for continuous stock where the length
of the print window decides the length of media to be fed out.
• Var length strip is used for continuous stock. The size of the
print images decides the length of each copy.
It is important to select the correct media type, so the printer can
indicate the following errors.
• Error 1005 “Out of paper” indicates that the last ordered copy
could not be printed because of an empty media stock.
• Error 1031 “Next label not found” indicates that the last
ordered label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more
labels/tickets can be printed because of an empty media stock.
Paper Type
The Paper Type parameters control the heat emitted from the
printhead to the direct thermal media or, optionally, the transfer
ribbon in order to produce the dots that make up the printout
image.
Labels, tickets, tags, strip, and ribbons for various types of
application are available from Intermec. For the best printout
quality and maximum life of the printhead, use Intermec
supplies. Setup recommendations for Intermec supplies offered
in Europe and North America are listed in Appendix D.
As a general rule, high energy and/or high print speed will
shorten the life of the printhead. Never use higher paper type and
print speed settings than necessary for obtaining an acceptable
printout quality and throughput speed.
If the ambient temperature is lower than +15°C (+59°F), decrease
the print speed by 50 mm/sec.
Start by choosing between two alternatives:
• Direct Thermal printing (option)
• Thermal Transfer printing (default)
Your choice will decide which parameters to enter next:
