Panduit LS8 manual Print Technology, Smart Label Cassette, Label Cutter, Carrying Case

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Print Technology

The PANTHER™ LS8 prints labels using thermal transfer printing technology. The print head melts ink contained on a thin web of ribbon material allowing the ink to transfer to the label material. The print head operates at a resolution of 203 dots per inch (dpi).

Smart Label Cassette

P1™ label cassettes are automatically detected by the PANTHER™ LS8 printer. The LS8 printer automatically adjusts its settings according to the label cassette that is installed. This process saves you the time and effort normally required to begin printing. With the LS8, simply install the label cassette and lock the drive roller. Now you are ready to begin printing. P1™ label cassettes have an embedded memory device designed to improve your labeling productivity. The device maintains an accurate count of the remaining labels in the cassette. The device also recalls the last label design used. Now when you take a label cassette out of the printer, your last label design goes with the cassette.

Label Cutter

The PANTHER™ LS8 has a manually operated cutter blade. Press and release the cutter button in order to cut your label. The cutter button has two possible settings: Full Cut and Partial Cut.

Full Cut is used to cut entirely across a label and its liner. This is the familiar cutting style used on other hand-held printers. Partial Cut is used to leave a very small area of the label liner attached even after cutting. This is an innovative adaptation to label cutting that allows you to avoid the frustration of searching for the correct label within a disorganized pile or having to use scissors. After using the partial cut setting, you will take a strand of labels to a job and then separate them as needed. In this way, your labels remain in the order they were printed.

The Cut Pause feature allows you to cut between labels during a print job. When Cut Pause is turned on, the printer will stop printing and allow you to cut the label. After cutting, the printer will resume printing. The Cut Pause feature is turned on or off inside of the Setup menu.

Carrying Case

The PANTHER™ LS8 has a custom protective carrying case constructed of durable plastic material. The case provides a convenient method of transporting the printer, label cassettes, and accessories to and from a job site.
