TOF Adjust
This opton sets the distance from the Top Of Form (TOF) that is left blank
(unprinted) after a label has been removed in Tear-Off strip or Tear-Off mode.
Normally printing is done starting at TOF, but when this mode is enabled the
start position for printing can be adjusted from 0.00 to 0.40 inches from TOF
(in increments of 0.01 inch). This adjustment can be helpful if a die cut label
sticks to the platen by means of jagged edges created during a poor die cut
label removal using the tear bar. By controlling how much blank space there is
from TOF, you can control how much the media is called back after it is torn
off.

reverse move. The options include:
•
Standard. Normal forward and reverse ribbon calibration.
•
Forward Only. Forward only ribbon calibration.
The factory default is Standard.
NOTE: When GPIO Print & Apply is set to Enable, Ribbon Calibrate is set to
Forward Only. This automatic setting of the Ribbon Calibrate menu
occurs only once per power cycle and only if the menu is changed
with the control panel.
Reverse Speed
This option sets the speed at which the media moves in reverse direction.
The range is 1 to 6 ips (in increments of 1 ips). The factory default is 2 ips.
NOTE: Speeds above 2 ips may cause ribbon smudging depending on
ribbon and media.
