Chapter 3 QUICK SETUP Menu

Print Speed

This menu item specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the

media passes through the printer while printing.

The range is 2 through 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).

The default is 6 ips.

NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum printer width

and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the printhead installed (203 or 300

dpi).

Print Mode

This menu item specifies the type of printing to be done.

• Transfer. Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).

• Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special

heat sensitive media.

The default is Transfer, unless your printer is shipped as direct thermal only

(no ribbon motors installed).

Media Handling

This menu item specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag

stock).

• Tear-Off. After each label is printed, the printer positions the label gap

over the peel bar and waits for the current label to be applied before

printing the next label. A “Label On” message displays to remind you that

the label is ready to be applied before the next one can be printed.

Paper Feed Shift

This menu item represents the distance to advance a label (+ shift) or pull

back (– shift) when the Tear-Off option is enabled. The allowable range is

–0.50 inches to the current Label Length value setting up to a maximum of

12.80 inches in 0.01 inch increments. Adjust the media so that the middle of

the label gap is over the peel bar edge.

The default is 0.00 inches.
