Installation and Operation
Operation The following information helps you get the most from your printer.
Programming You must use programming to control many of Commands the printer's functions. See the EPL2 program- mer's manual for details. For example, the Q
command controls form length and gap.
Printer Driver The printer driver provides a convenient control to improve print quality. For example, Print density (darkness) is affected by the heat energy (density setting) applied and by the print speed. Changing both Print Speed and Density may be required to achieve the desired results.
Thermal Printing:
Direct or
Transfer?
You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. When printing without a ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using ribbon, you must use thermal trans- fer media. The printer's ribbon sensor detects motion of the supply spindle.
Replacing Supplies When replacing media or ribbon, do not turn off the printer or data loss occurs. The printer auto- matically resumes printing after you load new supplies.
