Print Defs
The Print Defi nes section contains four types of setup parameters:
• Head Resistance
• Paper Type
• New Supplies
• Test Print
Head Resistance
The power to the printhead is adjusted automatically according to
the printhead resistance each time the printer is started. There is no
manual head resistance setup.
Paper Type
To obtain the best printout quality, the printer should be set up for
the characteristics of the brand of direct thermal media or transfer
ribbon currently used, see “Selecting Paper Type Settings” later in
this chapter. Any attempt to print with transfer ribbon loaded and
the printer set up for direct thermal media, or vice versa, will result
in an error condition (Error 1027 “Out of transfer ribbon” or Error
1058 “Transfer ribbon fi tted”).
Note:
In EasyCoder 501 printers without any thermal transfer mechanism,
only direct thermal media options are available.
New Supplies
Other types of supplies, than those included as standard options for
the Paper Type setup parameter, can be selected by means of a 13
digit code, provided by the manufacturer or distributor. Once a new
supply has been selected using “New Supplies”, it will be stored in
the RAM memory and appear as an additional option for the “Paper
Type” parameter, where it is specifi ed by the fi rst 4 digits in its 13
digit code number. The fi rst digit indicates direct thermal media (0)
or thermal transfer ribbon (1).
