PRINT METHOD

Selecting Print Method

 

The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you wish to

 

use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and

 

ribbon).

 

• Press either oval to display choices.

 

Default: THERMAL-TRANS.

 

Selections: THERMAL-TRANS., DIRECT-THERMAL

 

Note • Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon

 

creates a printer error condition, but printing continues.

Print width determines the printable area across the width of the label.

 

To change value shown:

 

1. Press the left oval to move the cursor.

 

2. Press the right oval to increase the value of the digit.

 

Note • The printer does not accept any value larger than the maximum print width

 

listed in General Specifications on page 142.

 

To change the unit of measurement:

 

a. Press the left oval until the unit of measurement is active.

ranges available for your model.

 

 

MAXIMUM LENGTH

Setting Maximum Length

 

Maximum length is used in conjunction with the calibration procedure. The value

 

of this setting is the maximum label length that is used during the media portion of

 

the calibration process. Only a few labels are required to set media sensors. Always

 

set the value that is at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) longer than the longest label to be used

 

on the printer.

 

• To increase the value, press the right oval.

 

• To decrease the value, press the left oval.

 

Default Range: The default and range of acceptable values vary depending on your

 

printer’s configuration. Values are adjustable in 1 in. (25.4 mm) increments.
