3.4 Test
The print is only ever printed at one of the two printheads. The output
is controlled by the state of the rear printhead.
Printhead down = The test print is printed at the rear printhead.
Printhead up = The test print is printed at the front printhead.
3.5 Correcting the Printout
Mechanical tolerances may result in a shift in the printout. These
deviations can be corrected temporarily by setting the X and Y offsets.
The set offset has an effect on both printheads. With the function
Printhead 2 Offset
the printouts of the front printhead and the rear
printhead can be corrected to each other.
A permanent shift of the printout is possible with the menu
Service
functions/Zero point adjustment
.
3.6 Material Savings - Labels
As the print images are printed at different positions on the label, a
minimal amount of label material is lost when the printing process has
been started. This is unavoidable, since rewinding the label material is
not possible for reasons of a safe material feeding process.
In order to prevent material losses during the ongoing print job, it is
possible to activate the
Label Save Mode
. More settings can be
specified in the menu
Material savings/Label save mode
.
Mode: Dialog
After a label is completely printed the printer examines whether
sufficient data is available in order to print the next label completely. If
this is not the case then the printing is stopped.
If a follow-up order is transferred the print is continued automatically
without a loss of material.
By pressing the key
the waiting status is terminated and all
remaining labels between the printheads are printed. Afterwards are
blank labels between the printhead. At a later print start this leads to a
loss of material.
Mode: Auto
Stopping the print at missing data is effected in the same way as in
operating mode
Dialog
.
If no further data follow the remaining labels are printed automatically
after an adjusted time.
The waiting time is to be set in menu
Material saving/Auto feed delay
.
The waiting time should not be set longer than 2 - 3 seconds,
otherwise this could lead to irritations for the operator.
