Printing Operation
Printhead Protection
Note: Printhead damage caused by improper handling!
• Do not touch the heating elements of the printheads with the fingers or sharp
objects.
• Ensure that the material is clean.
• Ensure that the material surfaces are smooth. Rough material act like emery paper
and reduce the service life of the printhead.
• Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
The printer is ready for operation when all connections have been made and labels and
the transfer ribbon have been loaded.
Synchronization in Cut Mode
To guarantee the correct length of the first label a cut prior print job is required :
• Activate in the printer driver menu General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup
the setting " cut before labels ".
or
• For direct programming use the command C s.
Designing the Print Image
• Define the double material width as label width.
• Place the information for the main color at x-coordinates between 0 and the
material width.
• Place the information for the secondary color at x-coordinates between the single
and the double material width.
Attention: Objects with x-coordinates on both sides of the single material width cannot
certainly be assigned to one color.
• Place each object completely into one of the color zones.
The color assignment would be altered by using the commands for rotating (O R) or
mirroring (O M) the print image.
• Do not use the commands for rotating (O R) or mirroring (O M) the print image.
