ITEM DESCRIPTION
Selects the method used to print labels and should be set according to the type
of media being used, where:
Sets use for media that is heat reactive to produce an image.
Sets use for media that requires a ribbon to produce an image.
Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing method used to determine the leading
edge of the label, where:
TOF will be recognized by sensing the gaps or notches in the media. (Default
Setting)
No TOF sensing will be used; instead, LABEL LENGTH (in Media Settings) is used.
TOF will be recognized by sensing the reflective (black) marks on the underside
of the media.
Determines the length of the label (0 - 99.99 inches) when the SENSOR TYPE is
set to CONTINUOUS, where:
Is the default setting.
Sets the distance (0 - 99.99 inches) that the printer will feed media to find TOF
(when the Sensor Type is set to GAP or REFLECTIVE) before a TOF Fault is
declared, where:
Is the default setting.
Sets the distance (0 - 99.99 inches) the printer will attempt to feed before an
Out Of Stock Fault is declared, where:
Is the default setting.
Sets the maximum printable width. Objects extending beyond this setting will
NOT print, where:
Default setting is dependant on printer model.
Defines the printer response when THERMAL TRANSFER mode is selected and the
ribbon supply begins to diminish.
Sets the ribbon supply threshold diameter (1.00 - 2.00 inches) that will trigger a
Low Ribbon Warning prompt, where:
Is the default setting.
Allows the printer to enter a paused condition when Ribbon Low Diameter is met,
where:
Pauses when a Ribbon Low Diameter condition is detected; the PAUSE Key must
be pressed to proceed with the print job.
No action is required by the operator; printing can continue until a Ribbon Fault
is declared. (Default Setting)
