Unidirectional
The Unidirectional feature affects both print quality and printing speed. By setting this feature, you can
configure the printer to print in both directions of the shuttle sweep (bidirectional), or to print in one
direction only (unidirectional).
Disable (factory default). The printer will print all data in both directions of the shuttle sweep
(bidirectional printing). This choice produces higher printing speed.
Enable. The printer will print all data in only one direction of the shuttle sweep (unidirectional
printing). Although enabling this feature reduces print speed, it enhances the vertical alignment of
dots and produces cleaner, sharper barcodes and text.
Display Language
This parameter chooses the language that will appear on the LCD: English, German, French, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, Simp. Chinese, Trad. Chinese, or Korean. The factory default is English.
NOTE: Simp. Chinese, Trad. Chinese, and/or Korean are not available on all firmware versions.
Panel Display
This menu allows the user to customize the type of information that will display on the panel LCD when
the printer is in online mode.
Ribbon Life (factory default). The LCD displays the ribbon life for the current cartridge installed.
Configuration. The LCD displays the configuration that was last loaded.
IP Address. The LCD displays the printer IP Address for networked printers.
Accented Char

will slow print speed and may cause the printer to back up during printing.
Slick Paper
Can improve print quality on same slippery media.
Disable (factory default).The printer slews normally.
Enable. Certain slews are slowed to prevent slippage.
NOTE: Enabling this menu may slow throughput.
