Appendix C — Setup Parameters

Contrast

Use the contrast parameter to make minor adjustments of the blackness of the printout, for example to adapt the printer to variations in quality between different batches of the same media. The options are values between -10% to 10% in steps of 2. Default value is 0%. The contrast is reset to the default value whenever a new paper type is specified, regardless which method has been used.

Testfeed

The Testfeed is a read-only parameter that indicates internal parameters for the Label Stop Sensor. These are automatically set when running a Testfeed (by pressing Print button more than one second.) It is very important to run a testfeed when switching from one media type to another.

Testfeed Mode

In certain unusual cases, a Testfeed may have been unable to succesfully identify gaps or marks in the media. It is thus possible to set the Testfeed Mode to Slow to allow the Label Stop Sensor to more easily identify media gaps/marks. The options are Slow and Fast (default).

LEN (Slow Mode)

When the Testfeed Mode is set to slow, the printer will sample the media length plus 10mm. You can change the sample length by specifying the number of dots in LEN(Slow Mode), the minimum being the number of dots corresponding to 10mm. The default (media length plus 10mm) is specified by the value 0.

Print Speed

The Print Speed is specified in mm/second. Allowed values are 50-150 mm/s (2-6 ips) for the 203dpi printhead and 50-100 mm/s (2-4 ips) for the 300 dpi printhead. Default is 100 mm/s (4 ips) and 75 mm/s (3 ips) for 203 and 300 dpi printheads respectively.
