Advance print start
4.4.14
When using a printer (optional):
The printing process can be started even in the final
phase of the label feed. In so doing, the printer stamp
is already moving toward the label ribbon, even before
the label has come to a standstill - this shortens the
printing process.
Using the PDT function, you can determine when (after
how many motor strokes before label stop) the printing
process will be started.
In the extended menu:
➔
Call up the PDT function.
➔
Set the desired value.
– Possible settings: 0 ... 50 motor strokes
– For the setting 0000, the label stop and printer start
coincide.
➔
Confirm the setting using the ENTER key and exit
the function.
The printer stamp is blocking the label feed.
– The printer stamp should first contact the la-
bel ribbon only after the label has come to a
standstill.
➔
If the printer stamp prematurely contacts the
label ribbon, reduce the PDT setting value.
