Meaning
Heating value for compensating for the differing thermal behavior of print-
heads. Changing this value is then especially necessary if the printing
intensity has changed after replacing the printhead.
To adapt the printing intensity when using different media, print speeds or
printing contents, you should change the heat level in the software. The set-
tings from the Print param. menu and the software are added together.
The heat level setting also affects the test printouts.
Basic print speed setting.
You can re-specify the print speed for each print job via software. The basic
setting is not changed by this.
The print speed setting also affects the test printouts.
On for thermal transfer printing: Sensor for monitoring the transfer ribbon is
activated.
Off for thermal direct printing: Sensor for monitoring the transfer ribbon is
not activated.
You can overwrite the setting for each print job via software.
Warning via the Ethernet interface by way of an SNMP message or e-mail
sent when the remaining diameter of the ribbon supply roll undershoots the
set value (32–74 mm).
Method for detecting the starting end of the label.
Gap Sensor: Detection using changes in the transparency between the
label and label gap.
Bottom-Reflect: Detection using reflex marks on the bottom of the
medium.
Continous media: Synchronization of the paper flow when using endless
media in cutting mode. More detailed information is found in the documen-
tation of the cutter.
Positioning the label medium for tearing off at the tear-off plate.
On: Additional advancement of the label medium which positions the label
gap after the last printed label at the dispense plate.
Off: Label advance stops once the last label has fully passed the print line.
Method for backfeeding the label medium.
Backfeeding is necessary in the cutting and peel-off modes since a label is
pushed out passed the front edge of the next label above the print line when
peeling off/cutting.
always: Backfeeding occurs independently of label contents.
smart: Backfeeding only occurs when the next label is not yet fully pre-
pared when peeling off/cutting the current label. Otherwise, the second
label is pushed on and completed after removal of the first label without
backfeeding.
