Print Speed; Print Mode; Media Handling - Printronix SLPA7000 User Manual

Print Speed

This menu item specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the
media passes through the printer while printing.
The range is 2 through 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The default is 6 ips.
NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum printer width
and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the printhead installed (203 or 300
dpi).

Print Mode

This menu item specifies the type of printing to be done.
•
Transfer. Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).
•
Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special
heat sensitive media.
The default is Transfer, unless your printer is shipped as direct thermal only
(no ribbon motors installed).

Media Handling

This menu item specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
•
Tear-Off Strip. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front until
the print buffer is empty, then positions the last label over the tear bar for
removal.
•
Tear-Off. After each label is printed, the printer positions the label over
the tear bar and waits for you to tear off the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). A "Remove Label" message displays to remind
you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Peel-Off. When the optional rewinder is installed, prints and peels die-cut
labels from the liner without assistance. The printer waits for you to
remove the label before printing the next one (on-demand printing). The
label liner is rewound on the internal rewinder. A "Remove Label"
message displays to remind you to remove the label before the next one
can be printed.
•
Cut. When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts
media after each label is printed or can cut after a specified number of
labels have been printed using a software cut command. It cuts
continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
NOTE: This option is hidden when RFID Reader is set to Enable in the RFID
CONTROL menu.
•
Continuous. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front.
The default is Tear-Off Strip.
