Ticket Save Mode
This option determines the action of the media for Continuous (std), Tear-Off,
Tear-Off Strip and Cut Media Handling Modes after the printer is first powered
up or after the printhead has been opened and then closed. When enabled,
this option eliminates wasting label(s) or ticket stock when the printer
advances media to search for the next TOF position.
•
Enable. The printer will assume that media is at the TOF position after
cycling power or after the printhead is opened and then closed. When a
print job is sent it is printed without advancing media to search for the next
TOF position.
NOTE: The user must ensure that media is at the correct TOF position (cross
perforation, liner gap, notch or mark at the tear bar edge) before
cycling power or before closing and locking the pivoting deck. In
addition, media must be calibrated and the correct Media Handling
Mode, Label Length and Gap/Mark Sensor selected and saved as the
Power-Up Config. Option applies to 2.5 inch or longer label lengths
only.
•
Disable (the default). The printer assumes that the media is not at the
correct TOF position after cycling power or after the printhead is opened
and then closed and advances media until the next gap, notch or mark is
detected by the Media Sensor(s). When print data is sent, printing begins
only after the next TOF is detected, resulting in one or more blank labels
being advanced.
TOF Adjust Mode
•
Enable. This option enables the "TOF Adjust" distance set using the TOF
Adjust menu (see TOF Adjust).
•
Disable (the default). This option disables the "TOF Adjust" distance set
using the TOF Adjust menu (see TOF Adjust).
TOF Adjust
This opton sets the distance from the Top Of Form (TOF) that is left blank
(unprinted) after a label has been removed in Tear-Off strip or Tear-Off mode.
Normally printing is done starting at TOF, but when this mode is enabled the
start position for printing can be adjusted from 0.00 to 0.40 inches from TOF
(in increments of 0.01 inch). This adjustment can be helpful if a die cut label
sticks to the platen by means of jagged edges created during a poor die cut
label removal using the tear bar. By controlling how much blank space there is
from TOF, you can control how much the media is called back after it is torn
off.
