Appendix D — Setup Parameters (IPL)
84 EasyCoder PD41 Printer User’s Guide
Paper Type
The Paper Type parameters control how the transfer ribbon
mechanism and the ribbon sensor work. There are two paper
type options:
• DT (Direct Thermal) is used for heat-sensitive media without
any need for a thermal transfer ribbon. Default.
• TTR (Thermal Transfer) is used for non heat-sensitive
receiving face materials in combination with a thermal
transfer ribbon.
Label Length Dots
The Label Length setup specifies the length in dots of each copy
along the media feed direction (X-coordinate). This is used for
“label-out” detection.
Sensitivity (Media Sensitivity Number)
This setup parameter specifies the characteristics of the direct
thermal media or combination of receiving face material and
thermal transfer ribbon, so the printer’s firmware can optimize
the heating of the printhead and the print speed. Standard
supplies from Intermec are labeled with a 3-digit media
sensitivity number which is used to specify the media grade. Look
for the media sensitivity number on:
• The side of the media roll. Use the last three digits of the 15-
digit number stamped on the roll for the media sensitivity
number.
• A small label attached to the roll of media.
• A small label attached to the plastic bag of your ribbon roll.
The sensitivity number on each roll of thermal transfer media or
ribbon has an asterisk (*) in place of one of the digits. To
optimize the sensitivity number for thermal transfer media, you
combine the digits as in this example.
