Paper Type

The Paper Type parameters control the heat emitted from the
printhead to the direct thermal media or optionally the transfer
ribbon in order to produce the dots that make up the printout
image.
Labels, tickets, tags, strip, and ribbons for various types of
application are available from Intermec. For the best printout
quality and maximum life of the printhead, use Intermec
supplies. Setup recommendations for Intermec supplies offered
in Europe and North America are listed in Appendix D.
As a general rule, high energy and/or high print speed will
shorten the life of the printhead. Never use higher paper type and
print speed settings than necessary for obtaining an acceptable
printout quality and throughput speed.
If the ambient temperature is lower than +15°C (+59°F), decrease
the speed by 50 mm/sec.
Start by choosing between two alternatives:
• Direct Thermal printing (default)
• Thermal Transfer printing (option)
Your choice will decide which parameters to enter next:
Direct Thermal Printing
• Label Constant (range 50 to 115)
• Label Factor (range 10 to 50)
