Setting Printing Tab Options

The Printing options tab is shown in Figure 5-1. You specify your system’s print job defaults on this tab. The options are:

Supply saver	Turns basic multiple-up printing ON or OFF.
	The default setting is OFF. The Supply saver
	printing feature saves supplies by arranging
	labels of the same size together in the print
	queue.This saves tape because it stacks labels
	that are smaller than the full width of the tape so
	that the full width of the tape is used, and it saves
	ribbon because it groups labels to print within a
	set of ribbon panels. (The sample in Figure 11-11
	on page 11-23 illustrates a print job with five
	separate labels that have been stacked by supply
	saver.)
	In addition, if you have the Color & Cut system,
	when Supply saver is ON, your system cuts out
	each label individually. See Checking
	Supplies on page 11-11.
Overprint	Turns overprinting ON and OFF. OFF is the
	default. Overprint controls the order in which
	colors are printed on the label so that black prints
	last.
	• With Overprint ON, black prints over (on top
	of) any previously printed colors. This ensures
	that there will be no gaps between colors and
	black print areas. However, with Overprint
	ON, printing may be slower, because the
	system must analyze the colors in the print job
	and order them accordingly. You may have to
	swap ribbons more often as well.
	• With Overprint OFF, areas of colors that will
	print behind black are removed before black is
	printed. However, you may see a slight gap
	between the color areas and the black areas.
