Unit 4: Printer Configuration

When enabled and the amount of ribbon remaining on the supply spindle is approximately 75 to
50 meters or less, the ON LINE indicator of the operator panel will flash and ‘Ribbon Low’ will
display on the second line of the LCD. The warning message will not prevent printing.
The Display Ribbon option must be enabled for the warning to display. Disable is the factory
default setting.
This menu screen allows selection of millimeters or inches as the unit of measure.
Inches is the factory default.
Allows selection of whether the Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto or Manual Calibrate
will be used to set the Label Length value in the Media Setup menu.
• Manual - factory default. The Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto or Manual
Calibrate will not override or change the Label Length value.
• Automatic - when an Auto or Manual Calibrate is performed, the Sensed Distance value
derived from either calibration will override and change the Label Length value. If Auto or
Calibrate is not performed, the current Label Length value will be used.
Note: When Set Label Length = Automatic and the label sensor is set to Gap, the printer will
subtract the Gap Length value (in the Sensor Setup menu of the Advanced Mode) from the
Sensed Distance value obtained when the Auto or Manual Calibrate was performed. Setting the
label length to ‘Automatic’ sets the ‘Use Label Length’ menu to ‘Disable’ in the Sensor Setup
menu of the Advanced Mode.
Allows selection of top-of-form detection fault. The printer displays a ‘Gap Not Detected’ fault and
stops printing when media has advanced a distance equal to the selected quantity or more times
the Label Length value set in menu.
• 3 Labels - factory default.
• 9 Labels
• 1 Label
Allows the top-of-form distance to be set using the TOF Adjust menu.
• Enable - enables the adjustment through the TOF Adjust menu.
• Disable - factory default. Disables the adjustment through the TOF Adjust menu.
This option sets the distance from the top-of-form (TOF) that is left blank (unprinted) after a label
has been removed in Tear-Off Strip. Printing normally starts at top-of-form, but when enabled, the
print start position can be adjusted from 0.00 to 0.40 inches from top-of-form in increments of
0.01 inches.
This adjustment is useful if a die-cut label sticks to the platen because of jagged edges created
by poor label removal using the tear bar. By controlling how much blank space there is from top-
of-form, the amount of media called back after being torn off can be controlled.
