Print Mode
This option 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 factory default is Transfer.
Media Handling
This option specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
• Tear-Off. After each label is printed, the printer positions the label over
the tear bar and waits for you to tear off the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). A “Remove Label” message will display to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
Paper Feed Shift
This option represents the distance to advance (+ shift) or pull back (– shift)
the stop position of a label when Tear-Off Strip, Tear-Off, Peel-Off, or Cut
media handling 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 .01
inch increments.
The factory default is 0.00 inches.
Label Length
This option specifies the user-selected Label Length in inches or millimeters.
In most applications, the user-selected Label Length will match the
physical
label length. Physical
label length is the actual label length of the media
installed.
When setting label length, consider the following:
Label Length can be manually entered via the control panel MEDIA
CONTROL menu or sent via host computer using the appropriate software
command.
A Host Forms Length (Label Length) value sent from the host computer will
override and change the manually entered Label Length value in the MEDIA
CONTROL menu.
• Physical Label Length is the actual measurable length of the label. The
following list of different media types explains how the physical label
lengths are determined:
• Die-cut labels – measurable length of the removable label (leading
edge to trailing edge). This does not include the liner material or gap.
• Tag Stock with notches or holes – measurable length from the trailing
edge of one notch or hole to the leading edge of the next notch or
hole.
