ITEM DESCRIPTION

RIBBON LOW OPTIONS

Defines the printer response when THERMAL TRANSFER mode is selected and the ribbon supply

begins to diminish.

RIBBON LOW

DIAMETER

Sets the ribbon supply threshold diameter (1.00 - 2.00 inches) that will trigger a Low Ribbon

Warning prompt, where:

0.50

Is the default setting.

PAUSE ON RIBBON

LOW

Allows the printer to enter a paused condition when Ribbon Low Diameter is met, where:

ENABLE

Pauses when a Ribbon Low Diameter condition is detected; the PAUSE Key must be pressed to

proceed with the print job.

DISABLE

No action is required by the operator; printing can continue until a Ribbon Fault is declared.

(Default Setting)

SENSOR CALIBRATION

Selects the media sensor calibration method, where:

QUICK CALIBRATION

Sets the values via internal printer calculations by feeding blank labels through the printer.

MANUAL CALIBRATION

Manual calibration that scans media and backing and out of stock condition to calculate the proper

calibration.

ADVANCED ENTRY

Sets the values via manual entry (typically for hard to calibrate label stocks), as described in the

ADVANCED ENTRY CALIBRATION where:

PAPER SENSOR

LEVEL

Establishes the threshold for the paper value (0 - 255), where 170 is the default setting.

REFL PAPER LEVEL

Establishes the threshold for the reflective value (0 - 255), where 170 is the default setting.

GAP SENSOR LEVEL

Establishes the threshold for the gap value (0 - 255), where 040 is the default setting.

MARK SENSOR

LEVEL

Establishes the threshold for the mark value (0 - 255), where 040 is the default setting.

EMPTY SENSOR

Establishes the sensitivity of the transmissive sensor (0 - 31), where 15 is the default setting.

REFL SENSOR GAIN

Establishes the sensitivity of the reflective sensor (0 - 31), where 15 is the default setting.

PRINTHEAD CLEANING

Controls the automatic cleaning alert and function, where:

CLEAN HEAD SCHEDULE

Specifies the inch (or centimeter) count at which to clean the printhead, and if exceeded three

times, declare a Head Cleaning Fault. (Note that the specified count [0 - 200 inches] will be

multiplied by one thousand, and that zero [the default setting] will disable the function.)

CLEAN HEAD COUNTER

Indicates the number of inches (or centimeters) since a cleaning was last initiated.

RESET COUNTER

Resets the Clean Head Counter to zero to restart the Clean Head Schedule.

CLEAN HEAD NOW

Initiates the cleaning process and resets the Clean Head Counter.
