Impression
accuracy Printing direction (Y-):
The impression accuracy depends on the print position. With the
printout starting directly at the gap position, the accuracy is ±0.5 mm.
A distance between gap (that is label start) and print position, will add
±1% of this distance to the accuracy fault (see illustration in the
Appendix).
X-direction: +/- 0.5 mm

Automatic ribbon

Label width 25.4 to max. 254 mm (depending on printer type)
Label length 5 to max. printing length
The maximum printing length depends on the following points:
–Firmware intalled to the printer (standard or extended, furthermore of
the version of the respective firmware)
–Use of bar code cards
–Useofimage cards
Depending on the combination of firmware, bar code card and image card
results a different maximum print length.

Tab. 2: The max. printing length can be extended by aid of S-RAM cards; assuming that
the special "extended firmware" (code 1X ..) is installed. This firmware takes more
memory space than the standard firmware, that´s why the max. printing length with
extended firmware and without plugged-in S-RAM card is even lower than with
standard firmware. *) with spooler set to 8 KB (standard: 65 KB)

Tab. 3: The bar codes are loaded to the printer memory, as soon as the printer is switched
on. Because those bar codes take some memory space, the resuming print length
is shorter than without bar code card.

Be aware, that the max. printing length may vary from one firmware version
to the next. Adding features to the printer means often taking away some
millimeters of printing length from the image buffer!
For detailed information on the different firmware versions refer to the
service manual, topic section "Firmware", "Firmware Versions".
For details about applying plug-in cards refer to the cards manual.
Output mode 1:1 and 100 % printable, either with or without cut.
