Print Speed
This option specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the media
passes through the printer while printing.
The range is from 1 to 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The factory 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). See Table 19 on page 333.
Print Mode
This option specifies the type of printing to be done.
• Transfer (factory default). Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon
installed).
• Direct . Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special
heat sensitive media.
Media Handling
This option specifies how the printer will handle the media (labels or tag
stock).
• Tear-Off Strip (factory default). 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 will display to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
• Peel-Off . Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). When the optional internal rewinder is installed
with liner attached, a “Remove Label” message will display to remind you
to remove the label before the next one can be printed. See “Peel-Off
Mode” on page 124 and “Peel Present” on page 123 for more information.
NOTE: The Tear-Off and Peel-Off options are not allowed if the cutter is
installed. The error message “INCOMPATIBLE WITH CUTTER”
displays.
• Cut . When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts
media after each label is printed or after a specified number of labels
have been printed when a software cut command has been issued. It cuts
continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
NOTE: The Cut option is not allowed if the cutter is not installed. The error
message “OPTION NOT INSTALLED” displays.
• Continuous . Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front.
See “Continuous Mode” on page 124 for more information.
