Printing

Regardless of your computer setup, you can use several methods to download information to print labels. This section describes different ways you can communicate with the printer. Refer to the 3600 User’s Manual for detailed information.

Note: Remember that these factors affect print quality: correct media, media sensitivity setting, print speed, and correct bar code orientation.

Using Label Debut

If you are using a point-to-point (printer-to-PC) connection to communicate with the printer, the printer parameters can be easily set using the DOS-based software package Label Debut. The Label Debut prompting screens assist you in designing, printing, and editing labels. Refer to the Label Debut User’s Manual for more detailed information.

Using Third-Party Software

Your customer may be using third-party software to create label formats and convert graphics into a UDC format that the 3600 printer can interpret. You can use the same software to set the printer parameters.
