Chapter 7 Setting Up the Printer
Media Type
The Media Type parameters control how the label stop sensor (LSS)
and the media feed work. There are fi ve media type options:
• Label (w gaps) is used for adhesive labels mounted on liner.
• Ticket (w mark) is used for labels, tickets, or continuous stock
provided with black marks at the back.
• Ticket (w gaps) is used for tickets and tags with detection slits.
• Fix length strip is used for continuous stock where the length of the
print window decides the length of media to be fed out.
• Var length strip is used for continuous stock and adds 115 dots
of media feed after the last printable dot (may even be a blank
space character or a “white dot” in an image or character cell) to
allow the media to be properly torn off.
It is important to select the correct media type, so the printer can
indicate possible errors. Two error conditions may occur:
• Error 1005 “Out of paper” indicates that the last ordered copy
could not be printed because of an empty media stock.
• Error 1031 “Next label not found” indicates that the last ordered
label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more labels/tickets
can be printed because of an empty media stock.
Paper Type
The Paper Type parameters control the heat emitted from the
printhead to the transfer ribbon or direct thermal media in order to
produce the dots that make up the printout image. Start by choosing
between two alternatives:
• Thermal Transfer printing (default)
• Direct Thermal printing
Your choice will decide which parameters to enter next:
Thermal Transfer Printing
This option contains four parameters:
• Ribbon Constant (range 50 – 115)
• Ribbon Factor (range 10 – 50)
• Label Offset (range -50 – 50)
• Low Diameter
1
(range 25 – 80 mm)
Direct Thermal Printing
This option contains two parameters:
• Label Constant (range 50 – 115)
• Label Factor (range 10 – 50)

1
/. This parameter specifi es the
diameter of the ribbon supply
roll, where SYSVAR (26) switches
from 0 to 1, that is SYSVAR(26) =
0 means that there is still a suf-
fi cient supply of ribbon, whereas
SYSVAR(26) = 1 means that it
is time to consider replacing
the ribbon supply. The diameter
is expressed in millimetres and
an accuracy of ±3 mm can be
expected. Note that this setting
has no effect unless SYSVAR(26)
is read by a Fingerprint program
(v7.40 or later).
