Print Technology
The C
OUGAR
™ LS9 prints labels using thermal transfer printing technology. The
print head melts ink contained on a thin web of ribbon material allowing the ink to
transfer to the label material. The print head operates at a resolution of 203 dots
per inch (dpi).
Smart Label Cassette
P1
™ label cassettes are automatically detected by the C
OUGAR
™ LS9 printer upon
insertion. The LS9 printer automatically adjusts its settings according to the label
cassette that is installed. This process saves you the time and effort normally
required to begin printing. With the LS9, simply install the label cassette and lock
the print head. Now you are ready to begin printing. P1
™ label cassettes have an
embedded memory device designed to improve your labeling productivity. The
device maintains an accurate count of the remaining labels in the cassette. The
device also recalls the last label design used. When you take a label cassette out
of the printer, your last label design goes with the cassette. This is very useful for
sharing files between more than one user or printer. This is also helpful when
using a cassette from a previous job or project.
Label Cutter
The C
OUGAR
™ LS9 has a manually operated cutter blade. Press and release the
cutter button in order to cut your label. The cutter button has two possible settings:
Full Cut and Partial Cut.
Full Cut is used to cut entirely across a label and the liner. This is the familiar
cutting style used on other hand-held printers. Partial Cut is used to leave a very
small area of the label liner still attached even after cutting. This is an innovative
adaptation to label cutting that allows you to avoid the frustration of searching for
the correct label within a disorganized pile or from having to use scissors. After
using the partial cut setting, you will take a strand of labels to a job and then
separate them as needed. In this way, your labels remain in the order that they
were printed.
The Cut Pause feature allows you to cut between individual labels during a print
job, including during an automatic serialization. When Cut Pause is turned on, the
printer will stop printing and allow you to cut the label. After cutting, the printer will
prompt you to resume printing. The Cut Pause feature is turned on or off within the
Setup menu.
Carrying Case
The C
OUGAR
™ LS9 has a custom protective carrying case constructed of durable
plastic material. The case provides a convenient method of transporting the
printer, label cassettes, and accessories to and from a job site. The carrying case
is sold separately.
