Warn level ribbon
That parameter allows to define a threshold diameter of the ribbon supply roll.
As soon as the diameter of the roll falls below this threshold a SNMP or E-mail
warning message is sent via Ethernet interface.
So the operator is already asked to prepare a new ribbon roll when the printer
is still running.
If your printer has no Ethernet interface, the diameter of the ribbon supply roll
can be asked by the q r command (see Programming Manual) using the serial
interface. This method is also available if the parameter "Warn level ribbon" is
set to "Off".
Label sensor
The printer offers two methods for recognizing the start of label. In most
cases, the label edge sensor photocell can be used in the "shine-through"
mode ("Gap sensor" mode), where the differing opacities between the label
area and spaces between labels is distinguished. In certain special cases, (ie.
pre-printed endless material), recognition of the start of the label can be made
via reflective markings on the bottom side of the label material.
This parameter can also be changed using software. For different print jobs it
is recommended that you make the change in the software.
The setting "Endless media" is especially intended to synchronize the feed of
continuous material in cut mode after switching on the printer.
You can find detailed information in the cutter documentation.
Tear-off mode
When the "Tear-off mode" is active, an additional feed forward will take place
after completion of the print job. This additional feed makes it possible to cut
or tear off the last label at the tear-off plate. When a new print job is started,
the label material will be fed back until the front edge of the first label is
repositioned under the printhead.
If the parameter is OFF, the label feed forward stops immediately after the last
label has completely passed the printhead.
