MEDIA SETUP Submenus

Print Intensity
This option specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used
for the type of media and ribbon installed.
Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for each dot.
This has a significant effect on print quality. The print intensity and speed
must match the media and ribbon type to obtain the best possible print quality
and barcode grades.
The range is -15 to 15.
The factory default is 0.
Print Speed
This option specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the media
passes through the printer while printing.
The range is 1 to 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The factory default is 4 ips.
Print Mode
This option specifies the type of printing to be done.
•
Transfer (factory default). Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon
installed).
•
Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special
heat sensitive media.
Media Handling
This option specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
•
Tear-Off Strip (factory default). Printer prints on the media and sends it
out the front until the print buffer is empty, then positions the last label
(cross perforation following) over the tear bar for removal.
•
Peel-Off. Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). Supported only when Standard Peel or
Peel with Liner Rewinder option is installed. When either option is
installed, a "Remove Label" message will display to remind you to remove
the label before the next one can be printed.
NOTE: If the Peel-Off option is not installed, the error message "OPTION
NOT INSTALLED" displays. Requires the Standard Peel without
Liner Rewinder or Standard Peel with Liner Rewinder option. Not
allowed if the options are not installed.
