Setup Mode

Setup Mode

After you have installed the media and ribbon and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete, the control panel displays

PRINTER READY

. You may now set printer parameters for your application using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes necessary to restore the initial printer defaults, see

FEED and PAUSE Self Test on page 138 .

Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters, such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not limited to):

• printing at high speeds

• peeling the media

• the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels

Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best combination of printer settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print quality or print rate, or the printer may not function properly in the desired print mode.

Note • If the printer is operating on an IP network, you can change the printer’s parameters in these additional ways:

• with ZebraLink™ WebView (ZebraNet 10/100 PrintServer, PSII, or Wireless Print Server required). For information, see the appropriate print server user guide.

• with the SetWLAN configuration utility or the ZebraNet Bridge Wireless Setup Wizard

(ZebraNet Wireless Print Server required). For information, see the ZebraNet Wireless

Print Server User Guide.

Table 9 • Printer Parameters (Page 1 of 19)

Action/Explanation

Adjust Print Darkness

Darkness (burn duration) settings depend on a variety of factors, including ribbon type, media type, and the condition of the printhead. You may adjust the darkness for consistent high-quality printing.

Important • Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print quality. If the darkness is set too high, the ink may smear, the ribbon may burn through, or the printhead may wear prematurely.

If printing is too light or if there are voids in printed areas, increase the darkness. If printing is too dark or if there is spreading or bleeding of printed areas, decrease the darkness.

The FEED Self Test on page 134 can be used to determine the best darkness

setting. You may want to adjust darkness while performing the PAUSE Self

Test on page 133 . Because the darkness setting takes effect immediately,

you can see the results on labels that are currently printing. Darkness settings also may be changed by the driver or software settings.

Default: +10

Range: 0 to 30

To change the value shown:

1.

Press PLUS (+) to increase darkness.

2.

Press MINUS (-) to decrease darkness.

Parameter

MEDIA TYPE

-NON-CONTINUOUS +

SENSOR TYPE

-WEB +



Set Media Type

This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see

Types of Media on page 25

for more information). Selecting continuous media requires that you include a label length instruction in your label format ( ^LLxxxx if you are using ZPL or ZPL II).

When non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media to calculate label length (the distance between two recognized registration points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).

Default: NON-CONTINUOUS

Selections: CONTINUOUS, NON-CONTINUOUS


1.

Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) to toggle between the options.

Set the Sensor Type

Note • The black mark sensor is a purchasable option.

PRINT METHOD

-THERMAL-TRANS. +

This parameter tells the printer whether you are using media with a web

(gap/space between labels, notch, or hole) to indicate the separations between labels or if you are using media with a black mark printed on the back. If your media does not have black marks for registration on the back, leave your printer at the default (WEB).

Default: WEB

Selections: WEB, MARK


1.


Select Print Method

The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you wish to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and ribbon).

Default: THERMAL TRANSFER

Selections: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL

Note • Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon creates an error condition, but printing continues.


1.





Parameter

PRINT WIDTH

- MM +



Set Print Width

Determines the printable area across the width of the label given the resolution of the printer.

Note • Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of the label not being printed on the media. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting memory and can cause printing off the label and on the platen roller. This setting can affect the horizontal position of the label format if the image was inverted using the ^POI ZPL II command.

Parameter

MAXIMUM LENGTH

-39.0 IN 988 MM



Set Maximum Label Length

This parameter is used during the media portion of the calibration process.

Always set maximum label length to a value that is at least 1.0 in.

(25.4 mm) greater than the actual label length (

Figure 25

). If the value is set to a smaller value than the label length, the printer assumes that continuous media is loaded, and the printer cannot calibrate.

For example, if the label length is 5.0 inches (126 mm) including the interlabel gap, set the parameter for 6.0 inches (152 mm). If the label length is 7.5 inches (190 mm), set the parameter for 9.0 inches (229 mm).
