Print Speed
The print speed is variable between 100 and 200 mm/sec.
Generally, the lower the speed, the better the printout quality.
This is especially true when printing bar codes with the bars
running across the media path (“ladder style”), when printing on
demanding face materials, and when printing at low ambient
temperatures. The default setting is 100 mm/sec. (approximately
4 inches/sec.).
LSS Test
The function on the label stop sensor (LSS) can be tested
automatically or manually as described in “Adjustments” on
page 115.
LTS (Label Taken Sensor)
The sensitivity of the LTS can be tested and adjusted as described
in “Adjustments” on page 115.
Returning to Factory Default Setup
There are two ways to return to the factory default setup of the
printer:
The combination of a large media roll (>152 mm/6 inches
diameter) and/or narrow media width in combination with high
print speed (>150 mm/6 inches per sec.) could cause jerks in the
media feed. Such jerks will compress text and spoil the readability
of ladder-style bar codes placed close to the front edge of the
label. In case of batch printing, only the first label in the batch
will be affected. Negative start adjust values tend to increase the
jerks.
• If the media roll is larger than 152 mm (6 inches), do not use
a print speed >150 mm/sec.
• If a negative start adjust is used, do not use a print speed >125
mm/sec.
• Narrow media width may require further restrictions on print
speed.
• Avoid placing text and ladder-style bar codes close to the front
edge of labels.
