Brother PT-97OOPC manual Advanced function, Printing at a higher speed or at a higher resolution

Advanced function

After the printer has been connected to the computer, labels can be created and printed.

This section describes how to create labels using a barcode reader and various useful print settings.

■Printing labels at high speed or a high resolution

See “Printing at a higher speed or at a higher resolution” (→ P.34)

■Printing a large number of labels distributed to multiple printers

See “Distributed printing” (→ P.35)

■Printing using only a barcode reader without a computer

See “BTP (Barcode Template Print) function” (→ P.37)

■Creating and printing simple labels by using P-touch Editor Lite LAN (PT-9800PCN only)

See “Using P-touch Editor Lite LAN (PT-9800PCN and Windows® only)” (→ P.42)

■Printing a list of the current printer settings

See “Printing the printer settings” (→ P.43)

Printing at a higher speed or at a higher resolution

The print speed and resolution can be changed depending on the combination of the type of tape being used and the selected output setting. With HG tape, labels can be printed at an even faster speed or higher resolution.

Output	Tape Type		Resolution
	TZ tape	HG tape
High Speed	—	3.15"/sec	360 × 180 dpi
(HG only)		(80 mm/sec)
Standard	0.78"/sec	2.05"/sec	360 × 360 dpi
	(20 mm/sec)	(52 mm/sec)
High Resolution	—	0.78"/sec	360 × 720 dpi
(HG Only)		(20 mm/sec)

●When HG tape is used, printing can be performed at a faster speed than with TZ tape. (“Standard” setting)

●When HG tape is used with the “High Speed” setting selected, printing can be performed even faster. However, since the resolution in the feed direction is reduced, this is not suitable for detailed printing.

●When HG tape is used with the “High Resolution” setting selected, printing can be performed with an even higher resolution. This is suitable for detailed printing of objects such as graphics and curved lines.

●When printing barcodes, use the “Standard” setting, which has identical horizontal and vertical resolutions.

Note

●The print speeds listed above indicate the highest speeds possible. The actual speed may differ depending on the operating conditions.
