Operations Overview Section 2
Select Print Mode
The print method parameter specifies the mode of printing: Direct Thermal (using direct
thermal media without ribbon) or Thermal Transfer (using thermal-transfer media and
ribbon).
Press the right or left oval key to display other selections.
Press NEXT/SAVE to display PRINT WIDTH.
Set Print Width
Print width selects the media width. Setting the width too narrow may result in portions of
your label not being printed on the label material. In addition, the setting can affect the
horizontal position of the label format if you invert the image via the ^POI ZPL II
command. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting memory and can cause printing to
occur on the platen to the side of the label.
The units of measure can be changed from millimeters to inches to dots per inch and
millimeters are shown as fractions of the dots per inch (for example, 4 101/203 is the value
for 4-1/2 in.).
Press the right oval key to increase the value or change the unit of measure, and press the
left oval key to change the selected character position. Select a print width that is at least
as wide as your media.
Press NEXT/SAVE to display MAXIMUM LENGTH.
Caution:
Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon results in
an error message, but printing continues. If the print method is not changed to
thermal transfer or if the media is not changed, damage to the printhead may
result.
Default: Thermal Transfer
Selections: Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal
