Printer Control

Unidirectional

The Unidirectional feature affects both print quality and printing speed. By setting this feature, you can configure the printer to print in both directions of the shuttle sweep (bidirectional), or to print in one direction only (unidirectional).

You might want to enable this feature when printing bar codes, high quality text and graphics, or other printing that requires precise vertical alignment.

Although enabling this feature reduces print speed, it enhances the vertical alignment of dots and produces cleaner, sharper bar codes and text. Choices include the following:

•Disable. The default. The printer will print all data in both directions of the shuttle sweep (bidirectional printing). This choice produces higher printing speed.
