Emulation

Emulation mode lets you print bar code labels that were originally
designed on an 86XX printer in multiples of 10 or 15 mil. When
the printer is working in emulation mode, not all IPL commands are
supported. For a complete list of commands available during emulation
mode, see the the latest version of the IPL Programming, Reference
Manual (P/N 066396-XXX).
To return from emulation mode, select emulation "none" (default).

Print Speed

You can select the print speed from 4 in./sec. (100 mm/sec.) to 8 in./sec.
(200 mm/sec.) with an interval of 1 in./sec. The higher the print speed,
the more wear on the printhead, so do not use a higher print speed than
necessary. Some direct thermal media or ribbon/media combinations
may not allow the highest alternatives without the printout quality being
adversely affected.
Cutter (option)
If no cutter is installed, "Not Installed" is displayed as a read-only
message. If a cutter is installed, you can select between "Enable", and
"Disable".
Label Taken Sensor (option)
To make the printer work in self-strip mode, that is, waiting for a label to
be removed before the next label is printed, the self-strip mode must be
enabled. This can also be done by executing the following commands:
enter print/confi guration mode
<STX>R<ETX>
n=1 enables self-strip,
<STX><SI>tn<ETX>
n=0 disables self-strip.
If the label taken sensor does not work properly, the sensitiviy can be
calibrated in the Setup Mode. Select "LTS Calibration" and follow the
instructions in the display. Make sure that no direct sunlight or interior
lighting interferes with the the label taken sensor.
