4.1.2Print Control

HEATó

 

Controls the printhead ‘burn-time’; see Section

10 (0-30)

2.1.1 for more on print quality control.

 

 

 

PRINT SPEED

Controls the rate of label movement during the

 

 

 

printing process; see Appendix C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEED SPEED

Controls the rate of label movement between

 

 

 

printing areas; see Appendix C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REVERSE SPEED

Controls the rate of label movement during

 

 

 

backup positioning for start of print, cutting or

 

 

 

present distance; see Appendix C.

 

 

 

ROW OFFSET

Shifts the vertical start of print position. This is

00.00in

(0-99.99)

the user setting for row adjustment.

 

 

 

 

COLUMNó

OFFSET

Shifts the horizontal, left-justified start of print

00.00 in

(0-99.99)

position to the right. Does not shift label width.

 

 

 

LABEL WIDTH

Sets the maximum limit for the printable surface

 

 

 

width. Images or data beyond this limit will not

 

 

 

print; see Appendix C.

 

 

 

 

 

PRESENTó

DISTANCE

Specifies an additional amount to advance the

0.72 in

(0-4.00)

label after printing. When the next label format

 

 

 

is received, the printer backfeeds to the start

 

 

 

position. Only the last label of the batch will be

 

 

 

presented if the present sensor is not enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

CUSTOM ADJUSTMENTS

These

factory adjustments

independently

 

change listed parameters, compensating for

 

 

 

slight mechanical differences sometimes evident

 

 

 

when multiple printers share the label formats.

 

DARKNESS

Controls the printhead strobe time to fine-tune

 

XX

(1-64)

the HEAT setting.

 

 

ROW ADJUST

Shifts

the vertical start of

print position

XXXDOTS (0-128)upward in dots to fine-tune the ROW OFFSET setting; see Appendix C.

Note: A Positioning Calibration must be performed before this parameter takes effect; see Section 5.1.

COLUMN ADJUST

Shifts both the horizontal start of print position

XXXDOTS (0-128)and the LABEL WIDTH termination point to the right in dots to fine-tune the COLUMN OFFSET setting; see Appendix C.

PRESENT ADJUST

Adjusts the label stopping position in dots to

XXXDOTS (0-128)fine-tune the PRESENT DISTANCE setting; see Appendix C.
