7. SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS

ENGLISH VERSION EO1-33047

7.1 Media

NOTES:

1.To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified media.

2.The ratio of a label length to a gap length must be a minimum of 3 to 1 (3:1).

3.Backing paper must be wider than a label; the distance between the edge of the backing paper and that of a label should be at least 1.5 mm.

4.Use of the tag paper of 25 mm to 50 mm in width, and 171 ∝m to 263 ∝m in thickness may shorten the platen life.

5.When using a label stock in cut mode, be sure to cut the gaps. Cutting labels will cause the glue to stick to the cutter, which may affect the cutter performance and shorten the cutter life.

6.To make tearing off a label easier, set the Auto Forward Wait function (FORWARD WAIT parameter) to ON in the system mode. Doing so will cause the last label printed to be fed and stopped past the strip shaft. However, if a next label is issued without tearing off the label on the strip shaft, the label may peel while it is fed backward, causing a printer failure.

7.1.2 Detection Area of the Transmissive Sensor

The Transmissive Sensor is movable from the centre to the left edge of media.
