Printing Defaults

Auto Cut Settings
This allows you to cut each label after it is printed or cut at the end of the job.
Note: The auto cut settings are only available if a monochrome ribbon is installed.
In a multi-print job, such as serialized labels, cut mode determines if the printer should pause between
each label for cutting the individual labels. If you select Cut at end of job, all labels in a serialized
sequence print out as one long string, pausing for cutting only after the last label is printed.
Over Print Setting
Over Print is related to multicolor printing with colors that overlap each other. If ON, Over Print prints a
base color, then prints the second color on top of the first. If OFF, the printer prints the base color on
everything except the items where the second color overlaps. This is preferred in situations where the
second color is lighter than the first and you do not want the base color showing through and distorting
the color where they overlap.
IMPORTANT!
Example of when Over Print should be turned
ON. (Black is over printing a yellow background.)
Supply Saver Settings
This feature automatically groups labels that are narrower than the tape. It is only used with paneled
ribbon and is disabled if using a monochrome ribbon. When this option is selected, the printer
recognizes that more labels will fit within an area that can be covered by one panel of ribbon. It then
groups the labels together to maximize how many labels will print with that set of ribbon panels. If the
option is turned off, only one label prints per ribbon set. This is inefficient if you are printing a number of
2" x 2" labels and have 8-inch long paneled ribbons installed.
IMPORTANT!
