Parameter

Explanation

 

 

PRINT SPEED

Adjust Print Speed

 

Adjusts the speed for printing a label (given in whole numbers of inches

 

per second). Slower print speeds typically yield better print quality. Print

 

speed changes take effect upon exiting Setup mode.

 

Range: 2 to 6 IPS

 

Default Value (ZPL, APL-I): 2 IPS

PRINT WIDTH

Set Print Width

 

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

 

Important • Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of

 

the label not being printed on the media. Setting the width too wide

 

wastes formatting memory and can cause printing off the label and

 

on the platen roller. This setting can affect the horizontal position

 

of the label format if the image was inverted using the ^POI

 

ZPL II command.

 

Range: 2 to 832 for 8 dots/mm, 2 to 1248 for 12 dots/mm
