PRINTER CONFIGURATION & LASER SETTINGS
®
The LabeLase
28XX printer and LabeLase
flexibility and user-control, to enable the system to be used in a wide range of applications and on an ever-
increasing array of laser-markable materials.
Calibration and configuration settings are accessed in LabeLase
CONFIGURATION. On-line help instructions will guide you through each of the available settings. The
most common parameters for fine-tuning the performance of the printer beyond the easy-to-use
LIGHTER/DARKER SLIDER BAR are LASER SPEED, LASER OFF TICKLE, and LASER ON DUTY
CYCLE, all of which are found under the LASER tab. Each of these parameters separately and together can
be adjusted to create the right balance of black/white contrast, fineness of detail and cycle time.
As laser speed is increased printing cycle time will be faster.
NOTE: In general, as laser speed increases, duty cycle may also be increased to achieve the same relative
blackness. Some materials with especially sensitive surfaces, such as PermaLabel
consistently at lower duty cycles, and therefore correspondingly lower laser speeds. Tickle controls the
readiness of the laser to fire and helps maintain consistency of marking across the tag surface. Some tag
materials are more sensitive to power variation than others, but in most cases this parameter can be left at its
factory setting.
Each printer is calibrated in our factory before shipping. Copies of the configuration settings are shipped
with each printer.
Experience has shown the following settings to be a good starting point for the most common types of tag
material. Each individual application may then be fine tuned to achieve the right balance of cycle time,
fineness of detail, and black/white contrast.
