BP-PR PLUS series
Product description
1.6.3 Transfer ribbons
Select transfer ribbons which are only a little wider than the labels:
•
If a ribbon is too narrow, the printhead comes into contact with the labels
•
If a ribbon is too wide, there is a risk of wrinkling
Detection of the transfer ribbon occurs via checking the rotation of the transfer ribbon supply hub. To
print all labels up to the end of the transfer ribbon cleanly, the trailer tape may not be longer than 60 mm.
It must be possible to easily remove the end of the transfer ribbon from the cardboard core.

Software

You can use several methods to control the printer and create label layouts.
1.7.1 Direct programming
The printer has an extensive command set for creating label layouts. With a text editor, the printer com-
mands can be combined in a file. This label programming can then be sent to the printer via a data inter-
face (e.g. via the DOS command COPY). The description of direct programming is found in the
"Programming Manual".
1.7.2 Windows printer driver
You can obtain printer drives for various versions of Windows from your dealer or the internet. Using the
printer driver, you can control the printer from almost any Windows application.
Functionality depends on the selected application. Use of the printer driver is explained in the online
help.
1.7.3 Label software
A variety of label programs which are adapted to the specific requirements of label printing are offered
for convenient label layout designs. Many programs use the printer driver. Some programs already have
their own driver for printers of the BP-PR PLUS series. These programs offer the greatest possible con-
venience when creating and printing labels.
