PRINTER OPTIMIZATION

This chapter provides information on how to improve your printer’s
performance by
◆
adjusting the print quality
◆
reducing the imaging time for printing
◆
providing general tips and hints for designing formats.
This printer uses "smart imaging" to image and print fields on
supplies. Smart imaging remembers the exact boundaries and
locations of each field and places a boundary box (white space)
around each field. When a field changes that particular boundary
box is cleared and the new field data is imaged. However, the new
field data may require a larger boundary box than the previous
field did. In some cases, neighboring fields that do not change
may be covered with white space from the changing field’s
boundary box. To prevent existing fields from being covered by a
changing field, see "Option 61 (Reimage Field)" in Chapter 4.
Smart imagining is automatically disabled on formats
with a Data Matrix bar code.
Adjusting the Print Quality
Many factors affect print quality: type of supplies, print speed,
print contrast, and the type of printer’s application. This printer
supports both thermal transfer and thermal direct supplies. The
type of supply should match the printer’s application.
◆
If you want to print at high speeds, you should use
premium supplies. Using premium supplies reduces
smudged images, hard to read labels, and faded print.
Supply type, print speed, and print contrast work together
to improve the print quality of labels. Contact your
Monarch Representative for more information.
