Set the maximum limit for the
printable width. Image or data
beyond this limit will not be printed.
Note: The actual printable area is split equally either side of the centerline of the media, e.g. 8.20” would
print from 4.1” to the left of center to “4.1” to right of the centerline.

04 IPS Set print speed.
Print Darkness 10 00
−
30 Set print darkness by controlling
printhead heat.
Note: When language is “DPP,” the maximum value is 20.
Print Method
TT DT / Direct Thermal
TT / Thermal Transfer Set printing method.
Ribbon Torque 3 1
−
5 Set ribbon winding torque.
Note: If smudge occurs, increase the value. When a small width of label is used, decrease the value.

Note: The maximum media length will be changed by using the “Label Width” value due to allocation
of RAM memory space for print data. When media widths are 0

None Select label sensor.
See Thru: Transparent GAP sensor.
Notch: Transparent HOLE sensor.
Reflect: Reflective sensor.
None: No use of sensor (continuous
media)
Sensor Monitor

x.xV adc LCD display shows media sensing
level while setting media in the
sensor position.
When None, See Thru (Gap) sensor
sensing level is monitored.
Note: a) Before performing Sensor Monitor, ensure that Media Sensor selection is matched correctly
with media.
b) The average sensor value between the label a nd liner area is recommended to use for
setting the “Sensor Level” (see below).
c) When Media Sensor is set to None, See Thru (Gap) sensor is monitored.
Sensor Level
1.5V/1.7V 0.0V
−
3.3V Set threshold value for media sensor
by changing Up or Down key.
* System Setup
Note: For reflective sensor, if black marks on the liner are not detected because of small reflection
factor, decrease the sensor level. For transparent sensor, if notches or gaps between labels
are not detected because of small transparency factor, decrease the sensor level. The Sensor
Monitor menu will be useful for setting Sensor Level.
