Print Speed
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
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.
Media Handling
Specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag stock).
• Tear-Off Strip. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the
front until the print buffer is empty, then positions the last label
over the tear bar for removal.
• 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 displays to remind you to remove the label
before the next one can be printed.
• Peel-Off. When the optional rewinder is installed, prints and
peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance. The
printer waits for you to remove the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). The label liner is rewound on the
internal rewinder. A “Remove Label” message displays to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can be
printed.
