Print Technology
The P
AN
T
HER
™
LS8EQ 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
™
LS8EQ printer upon
insertion. The LS8EQ 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 LS8EQ, simply install the label cassette and lock the print
head latch. 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. When you take a label cassette out of the printer,
your last label design goes with the cassette. This is very useful for sharing files
between more than one user or printer.
Label Cutter
The P
AN
T
HER
™
LS8EQ 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 still 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 that 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 automatically. The Cut Pause feature is turned
on or off within the Setup menu.
Carrying Case
The P
AN
T
HER
™
LS8EQ 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.
PC KIT
The PC KIT includes a CD-ROM with PanTherLink
™
software and a USB cable. The
PC KIT is used to communicate between a computer and the P
AN
T
HER
™
LS8EQ
printer. This provides the ability to import data, upgrade the printer operating system,
and print labels from Panduit Easy-Mark Labeling Software.
