ZTP SETTINGS Menu
The ZTP SETTINGS menu includes the ability to enable and disable features
unique to the Zero Tear printer (ZTP), set the tear bar distance, set the auto
present data time, and set the auto present wait time. This section defines
these options.
ZTP Data Time
This option sets the pause time in the data stream that the ZTP requires
before moving the form to the tear bar once a print job is completed. The
values range from .5 to 15 seconds. The default is .5 seconds.
ZTP Wait Time
This option sets the minimum amount of time that the form stays at the tear
bar. This allows you time to remove the form before the form is retracted to
print the next form. The adjustable values range from 1 to 10 seconds in
increments of 1 second. The default value is 2 seconds.
ZTP TearDistance
This option sets the tear off distance from the current print position to the tear
bar. Adjustable values in increments of 1/144th of an inch range from 200 to
2880. The left and right arrows adjust the display value. When you press the
ENTER key, the selected value is stored and a scale is printed to indicate the
current tear off position. The default value is 1060.
NOTE: When a new value is selected, the printer will lose the current print
position. You must reset the top of form to automatically save the new
value.
ZTP Platen Open
This option allows the user to have the platen open whenever forms are
reversed. Enabled is the default, used for most papers and labels. The feature
can be disabled as required by some multi-part forms.
