Min. Code Height; Overstrike Style - Printronix T5000 User Manual

Min. Code Height

This submenu tells the printer the closest vertical gap between bar codes that
needs to be resolved. Refer to the Print/Slew Speed Limits for background
information. The printer's ability to resolve which form contains the bad bar
code, is a function of print speed and the closeness of bar codes on separate
forms. The default setting can resolve very small forms, but limits print speed.
If you know that the bar codes are far enough apart and far enough from the
bottom of a form, you can increase this value with this menu to allow for faster
printing.
The options are 0.40 inches (the factory default), 0.13 inches, 0.16 inches,
0.20 inches, 0.25 inches, and 0.32 inches.
Form Spacing
This submenu tells the printer how large the gap is between the bottom of the
last bar code on the form and the bottom of the first bar code on the next form.
The spacing range is 0.2 to 1.7 inches adjusted in 1/10 inch segments.
The factory default at 0.6 inches.
Skip Labels
This submenu allows you to select the number of labels skipped after an
Overstrike occurs. Minimum is 0 to 1 label. Maximum is 1 to 2 labels.
The options are Minimum (the factory default) and Maximum.
F/W Revision
This is a display item only. It indicates the firmware version of the Validator.

Overstrike Style

This submenu allows you to select different overstrike styles on bad labels.
The options are Grid (the factory default), Grey, and Checkerboard.
Scanner Settings
This option has two purposes:
•
Allows the validator to upload an optimized setting for a particular printer
model at power up. This will use the full scanner beam width and improve
the performance and efficiency of the validator.
•
Allows you to customize a special scanner setting for a specific
application. The file can then be downloaded to the printer by using
normal printer download modes, and must be saved as part of the power
up configuration.
The factory default depends on the printer model and custom files.
