Increasing Print Speed 7-7

7-3

P r i n t h e a d T e m p e r a t u r e

Printhead Temperature is how warm the printhead is. You

check the temperature in the Diagnostics program.

Rule of Thumb

The warmer the printhead, the faster the print speed.

F o r m a t W i d t h

Format Width is the width of the label (not the width of the

supply).

Before adjusting the width, you must consider the shape, length,

current width, and arrangement of fields on the format.

If the format is square and there is no available white space,

you cannot take advantage of increasing the print speed with

this variable.

If the format has available white space, you can rearrange

the fields to remove the white space. This change

decreases the format width and increases the print speed.

If the format’s length is less than its width, you can turn the

label (and all its fields) vertically. This effectively switches

the length and width of the format. It decreases the width

and keeps printed labels intact, but requires major data

stream changes.
