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 (factory default). Normal forward and reverse ribbon
calibration.
•

NOTE: When GPIO Print & Apply is set to Enable, Ribbon Calibrate is set to
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
Vertical DPI Adjust

all printed forms by small amounts. When a 203 DPI printhead is installed, the
range is 195 to 210. When a 300 DPI printhead is installed the range is 290 to
310.
The factory default for a 203 DPI printhead is 203. The factory default for a
300 DPI printhead is 300.
