• Error 1031 “Next label not found” indicates that the last
ordered label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more
labels/tickets can be printed because of an empty media stock.
Paper Type
The Paper Type parameters control the heat emitted from the
printhead to the direct thermal media or, optionally, the transfer
ribbon in order to produce the dots that make up the printout
image.
Labels, tickets, tags, strip, and ribbons for various types of
application are available from Intermec. To attain optimal
printout quality and extending the life of the printhead, use
Intermec supplies. Heat setting recommendations for Intermec
media can be found from the Intermec website:

As a general rule, high energy and/or high print speed will
shorten the life of the printhead. Never use incorrect paper type
settings or higher print speed settings than necessary for
obtaining an acceptable printout quality and throughput speed.
If the ambient temperature is lower than +15°C (+59°F), decrease
the print speed by 50 mm/sec.
Start by choosing between two alternatives:
• Direct Thermal printing (option)
• Thermal Transfer printing (default)
Your choice will decide which parameters to enter next:
Direct Thermal Printing
• Label Constant (range 50 to 115). Default 85.
• Label Factor (range 10 to 50). Default 40.
The following table gives initial recommendations for suitable
settings.
Note: It is highly recommended to use PrintSet 4 to
set the Paper Type setup parameters. PrintSet 4
includes a Print Quality Wizard that guides you
through the process of improving printout quality.
