has been removed for application.

selected. This option is not available for tear-off printing.
HISTORY CONTROL MODE (TABLE 4-7)
MENU DESCRIPTION
When enabled, the History Control Mode uses the printer’s recent operational history
as a way to control the heating temperature of head elements when printing the next
label. This is performed by using previous print activity as way to automatically
extrapolate the electricity required to reach the temperature needed and supplying only
amount.
Conversely, the Firmware applies electricity to the print head to heat its print elements
based on the assumption that the print head is cool and freshly powered on. However,
after a few print cycles, the print head retains heat from previous print activity and
requires time to cool down. If the Firmware continues to assume the print head has
cooled down to ambient temperature instantly after every print cycle, then the electricity
it applies to the print head would theoretically be excessive and result in overheating of
the ribbon.
Use the keys of the printer’s operator panel to select and enter the required options.
Is a display screen that informs when enabling/disabling has been completed.
