Operations Overview

Section 2

Select Print Mode

The print method parameter specifies the mode of printing: Direct Thermal (using direct 

thermal media without ribbon) or Thermal Transfer (using thermal-transfer media and 

ribbon).

Press the right or left oval key to display other selections.

Press NEXT/SAVE to display PRINT WIDTH.

Set Print Width

Print width selects the media width. Setting the width too narrow may result in portions of 

your label not being printed on the label material. In addition, the setting can affect the 

horizontal position of the label format if you invert the image via the ^POI ZPL II 

command. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting memory and can cause printing to 

occur on the platen to the side of the label.

The units of measure can be changed from millimeters to inches to dots per inch and 

millimeters are shown as fractions of the dots per inch (for example, 4 101/203 is the value 

for 4-1/2 in.).

Press the right oval key to increase the value or change the unit of measure, and press the 

left oval key to change the selected character position. Select a print width that is at least 

as wide as your media.

Press NEXT/SAVE to display MAXIMUM LENGTH.

Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon results in 
an error message, but printing continues. If the print method is not changed to 
thermal transfer or if the media is not changed, damage to the printhead may 
result.

Default: Thermal Transfer

Selections: Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal

Default Range: Print width determines the printable area across the width of the label.
