Adjust Print Speed
Adjusts the speed for printing a label (given in inches per second). Slower
print speeds typically yield better print quality. Print speed changes take
effect upon exiting Setup mode.
Default Value: 2 IPS
Range:
• 200 dpi: 2 to 10 IPS
• 300 dpi: 2 to 8 IPS
• 600 dpi: 1 to 4 IPS
To change the value shown:
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press
PLUS (+) to increase the value.
3. Press
MINUS (-) to decrease the value.
4. Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
Set Media Type
This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see
Types of Media on page 26 for more information). Selecting continuous
media requires that you include a label length instruction in your label
format (
^LLxxxx if you are using ZPL or ZPL II).
When non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media to
calculate label length (the distance between two recognized registration
points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
Default Value: GAP/NOTCH
Selections: GAP/NOTCH, MARK, CONTINUOUS
To change the value shown:
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press
PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) to toggle between the options.
3. Press
SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
