Optimization of the Data Transfer
If sequent labels contain differing information, the internal preparation of the second
label must be completed before the printing by the lower printhead for the first label
has been finished!
Otherwise the first label will be fed to the upper printhead to complete the print
without printing the next section with the secondary color. The print of the second
label begins only after completion of the first label.
Therefore it is necessary to minimize the data to be transferred. i.e. to avoid
transferring complete label descriptions and to transfer the changing data only :
• In the printer driver menu General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup > Options
the setting " Force optimized printing " is permanently activated.
or
• For direct programming use the replace command R for changing data.
Attention: Loss of material! The RS-232 interface is unsuitable for fast transmission of
changing data. Use USB or Ethernet interface for print operation.
Avoiding Loss of Data
Attention: Loss of data! When correctable errors occur labels which are already printed by the
lower printhead but not are completed by the upper printhead cannot be repeated after error
correction. The data of those labels are lost for the printer.
• Avoid predictable error situations.
• To avoid the errors "Out of paper" or "Out of ribbon" switch the printer to the
Pause state before the material runs out. Continue the print process by pressing the
pause key after re-loading material. That way the data will be saved.
Pause on Media Low
The error "Out of ribbon" can be avoided automatically with the integrated ribbon low
warning :
• Set parameter Setup > Print param. > Pause on media low to " On ".
• Set the rest diameter of the ribbon supply roll with the parameter Setup > Print
param. > Warn level ribbon to e.g. 35 mm .
If the diameter of the ribbon roll falls below the set value the automatically switches to
the Pause state.
