Select Print Method
The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you
want to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal
transfer media and ribbon).

Default Value: THERMAL TRANSFER

Selections: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL

To change the value shown:

1.

Press

SELECT

to select the parameter.

2.

Press

PLUS (+)

or

MINUS (-)

to scroll through the options.

3.

Set Print Width
This parameter specifies the printable area across the width of the label.

Table 13

shows the ranges and default values for print width, which are

based on the printer model and the printhead resolution.

Note •

Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of a label

format not being printed on the media. Setting the width too wide
wastes formatting memory and can cause printing off of the label
and on the platen roller. This setting can affect the horizontal
position of the label format if the image was inverted using the
^POI

ZPL II command.
