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 t he full width of the tape i s used , and i t save s
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.
