QUICK SETUP
Print Mode
This option specifies the type of printing to be done.
•
Transfer. Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).
•
Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special
heat sensitive media.
The factory default is Transfer.
Media Handling
This option specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
•
Tear-Off Strip. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front until
the print buffer is empty, then positions the trailing edge of the last label
over the tear bar for removal.
•
Tear-Off. After each label is printed, the printer positions the label over
the tear bar and waits for you to tear off the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). A "Remove Label" message will display to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Peel-Off. Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). When the optional internal rewinder is installed
with liner attached, a"Remove Label" message will display to remind you
to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Cut. When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts
media after each label is printed or after a specified number of labels
have been printed when a software cut command has been issued. It cuts
continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
•
Continuous. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front. See
"Continuous Mode" on page 135 for more information.
The factory default is Tear-Off Strip.
