Prelimininary Tests
The media width and height given in the Technical Specifications are suggested
values for media when using the present sensor :
Label Width : A3, A4: 1 to 4.6 in (25-116 mm)
A6: 2 to 6.9 in (50-176 mm)
Label Height : A3, A4: .5 to 7.9 in (12-200 mm)
A6: 1 to 7.9 in (25-200 mm)
CAUTION !
When using different media from the specifications, for example
- media which is smaller than the specifications above,
- very thin media,
- very thick silicon liner,
- media with aggressive adhesive,
- transparent media
it is recommended to test the media before !
For A3 the print speed in the peel-off mode is limited to maximum 4 ips
(100mm/s). This limitation guarantees a correct operation in the dispense
mode when using maximum supply rolls (diameter 8 in (203mm), width 4.7 in
(120mm)) also with A3. When using supply rolls with a small outside diameter it
is possible to increase the print speed during on-demand labelling. For that
purpose the speed limitation has to switch off. Then the print speed can be set
on all possibilities until 8 ips (200mm/s) for A3/200P or until 6 ips (150mm/s) for
A3/300P.
CAUTION !
When operating the A3 with higher speed it is strongly recommended to
carry out preliminary tests using the appropriate maximum rolls !
For A4 and A6 there is no limitation of the print speed in peel-off mode.
Printer Configuration
There are a variety of parameters that can be set to configure the printer to
specific requirements in the "Setup" menu of the Offline Menu. Further
information to the individual parameter of the Peel-off Mode can be found in the
