Configuration Quick Mode for Setting the Delay Times It is possible to set the transport speed of the label in four steps. By switching the parameter to Support del. off. Beside the standard method for the printer configuration there is a quick mode to adjust the delay times available. Note! The quick mode settings can be made during operation . The changes directly affect the current print job. 1.
Configuration Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the applicator there are two different parameters available for adjusting the peel position.
