MEDIA CONTROL Submenus

Slew Speed
The speed at which the printer moves media without actually printing on it.
• Automatic. Always the same as the print speed (see “Print Speed” on
page 114).
• Manual. Allows you to set the slew speed. The maximum speed depends
on your printer model (see Table 18 on page 337).
The default is Automatic.
Print Direction
This option determines the basic print image orientation.
NOTE: Print Direction will not change the orientation of any print test patterns
in the DIAGNOSTIC menu.
Print Direction has two options:
• Head First
• Foot First
For example, with Portrait orientation, when you select Head First, the top-of-
form will come out of the printer first. Conversely, when you select Foot First,
the bottom-of-form will come out first.
Print Direction and Orientation are two independent options that can be
combined to produce the following results depending on the Active IGP
Emulation:
