85 Label Printer User’s Manual A-3
• Keystrokes: A combination of keys that when typed together result in a special
or accented character. Keystroke types are:
• Alt Gr (Alternative Graphic) : A modifier key used to access alternate
characters, represented on keys with a third or fourth symbol on the right side.
Key accessed also depends on the state of the “Caps Lock” key and the type
of toggle it performs.
•
Alt Gr Lock: A key that toggles the keyboard between access to Alt Gr and
non-Alt Gr mode for specific keys.
•
Caps Lock: A key that toggles the keyboard between upper-case and lower-
case modes for all alphabetic keys, but has no affect on other keys.
•
Shift: A modifier key used to access alternate “upper” characters on keys.
Key accessed also depends on the state of the “Caps Lock” key and the type
of toggle it performs.
•
Shift Lock : A version of caps lock that affects all keys as shift does.
•
Label : The area on the display where text, graphics and barcodes are located. A
discrete “page” or unit of output.
•
Media : Substrate on which labels are printed. Includes “tape” (continuous) and
“label” (die-cut).
•
Menu : A display of options that are provided to a user. There are several types of
menus (e.g., pop-up, cascading, pull-down, moving-bar, etc.).
•
Mirror Print : Output that is suitable for reading in a mirror, or through the back of
the label.
•
Object : Discrete data, graphic or barcode element on a label that is movable as a
unit.
•
Print Energy: Defines how much heat is applied to the printhead when you are
printing a label. As you print, heat applied to the printhead elements causes the ink
to transfer to the label material as is passes under the printhead. The higher the
print energy, the more ink is transferred to the label (i.e., the higher the heat on the
heat element). Therefore, if your printing is spotty, you may want to increase the
print energy to make sure more of the ribbon ink transfers to the label. However, if
your ribbon is sticking or tearing during printing, the heat energy may be too high
and should be reduced.
•
Print Offset : A value that will move the image from its "nominal" position slightly
in one direction or another. Adjust Offset is typically used to do a fine adjustment
of the printed image on a die-cut label, or to move the image slightly closer or
further from the edge of a continuous supply.
•
Proportional Sizing : Uniform scaling of an object or text. Object maintains its
size in both the horizontal and vertical direction.
•
Non-proportional Sizing : Non-uniform scaling of an object or text. Object size is
distorted in the direction being sized.
