Operation The following information helps you get the
most from your printer.
Programming
Commands
You must use programming to control many of
the printer's functions. See the EPL2 program
-
mer's manual for details. For example, the Q
command controls form length and gap.
Printer Driver The printer driver provides a convenient control
to improve print quality. For example, Print
density (darkness) is affected by the heat energy
(density setting) applied and by the print speed.
Changing both Print Speed and Density may be
required to achieve the desired results.
Thermal Printing:
Direct or
Transfer?
You must use the correct media for the type of
printing you require. When printing without a
ribbon, you must use direct thermal media.
When using ribbon, you must use thermal trans-
fer media. The printer's ribbon sensor detects
motion of the supply spindle.
Replacing Supplies When replacing media or ribbon, do not turn off
the printer or data loss occurs. The printer auto-
matically resumes printing after you load new
supplies.
