Note on PC Settings:
Most applications allow you to change these same printer driver options from their
"Print" and/or "Printer Setup" screens. Some applications such as BarTender save your
settings with the label, others use settings only for the current print job just sent to the
Printer.
Paper Size
If you are using BarTender, this setting is adjusted during the label setup wizard. If you are
using a program other than BarTender you will need to set this to the dimensions of your label.
Keep in mind that the dimensions are always relative to the width and height of the actual
label in the Printer. Orientation of an image on the label should not change this setting. See
Section 2A for minimum and maximum label sizes.
Orientation
There are two settings for orientation, Portrait and Landscape. If
your text and graphics print left to right or as shown on the screen,
select portrait. If you wish your printing to rotate 90 degrees from
what you see on the screen so it is printing horizontally, select
landscape as your orientation. Remember, this does not change the
width and height Paper Size. It is only a tool for viewing a label
upright on screen that will be printed sideways on the Printer.
Print Quality
There are 4 levels of print quality in the driver. The lower the quality, the faster the print.
Quality 1 provides the fastest print available while Quality 4 provides the best quality. It is
recommended that you experiment with the different levels when designing your label to find a
good balance between print quality and print speed. Quality 2 is the default.
Color Matching
There are several options available depending on which cartridge is installed (Pigment
or Dye). The options will update automatically depending on which cartridge is
installed.
Vivid Graphics mode is best used for graphical images where accurate color
reproduction is not as essential. Images printed in this mode will look more vibrant
because more ink is being used to produce them. However, printing images of people
may produce skin tones that have a reddish tint.
Vivid Photos mode is best used for photographic images where accurate color
reproduction is very essential. Images printed in this mode will look lighter than those
