USER MODE (TABLE 4-1)

 

 

 

 

 

MENU

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When enabled and the amount of ribbon remaining on the supply spindle is approximately 75 to

 

 

 

50 meters or less, the ON LINE indicator of the operator panel will flash and ‘Ribbon Low’ will

 

 

 

 

 

Ribbon Near End

 

display on the second line of the LCD. The warning message will not prevent printing.

 

Enable*

 

The Display Ribbon option must be enabled for the warning to display. Disable is the factory

 

 

 

default setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu screen allows selection of millimeters or inches as the unit of measure.

 

 

 

Inches is the factory default.

 

 

 

 

Units

 

 

 

 

 

In Millimeters*

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows selection of whether the Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto or Manual Calibrate will be used to set the Label Length value in the Media Setup menu.

Manual - factory default. The Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto or Manual Calibrate will not override or change the Label Length value.

 

 

 

Automatic - when an Auto or Manual Calibrate is performed, the Sensed Distance value

 

 

 

 

Set Label Length

 

 

 

 

derived from either calibration will override and change the Label Length value. If Auto or

 

Manual*

 

 

Calibrate is not performed, the current Label Length value will be used.

 

 

 

Note: When Set Label Length = Automatic and the label sensor is set to Gap, the printer will

 

 

 

subtract the Gap Length value (in the Sensor Setup menu of the Advanced Mode) from the

 

 

 

Sensed Distance value obtained when the Auto or Manual Calibrate was performed. Setting the

 

 

 

label length to ‘Automatic’ sets the ‘Use Label Length’ menu to ‘Disable’ in the Sensor Setup

 

 

 

menu of the Advanced Mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows selection of top-of-form detection fault. The printer displays a ‘Gap Not Detected’ fault and

 

 

 

stops printing when media has advanced a distance equal to the selected quantity or more times

 

 

 

the Label Length value set in menu.

 

 

 

 

TOF Detect Fault

 

 

 

3 Labels - factory default.

 

3 labels*

 

 

 

 

9 Labels

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 Label

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows the top-of-form distance to be set using the TOF Adjust menu.

 

 

 

Enable - enables the adjustment through the TOF Adjust menu.

 

 

 

 

TOF Adjust Mode

 

 

Disable*

 

Disable - factory default. Disables the adjustment through the TOF Adjust menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This option sets the distance from the top-of-form (TOF) that is left blank (unprinted) after a label

 

 

 

has been removed in Tear-Off Strip. Printing normally starts at top-of-form, but when enabled, the

 

TOF Adjust

 

print start position can be adjusted from 0.00 to 0.40 inches from top-of-form in increments of

 

10.1 mm*

 

0.01 inches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This adjustment is useful if a die-cut label sticks to the platen because of jagged edges created

 

 

 

 

 

 

by poor label removal using the tear bar. By controlling how much blank space there is from top-

 

 

 

of-form, the amount of media called back after being torn off can be controlled.
