Introduction
The XiII printer, when connected to a host computer, functions as a
complete system for printing labels, tickets, and tags. The printer receives
instructions from the host computer. Microprocessors continuously monitor
these signals along with the inputs received from the control panel and
various sensors. The microprocessors interpret this information and control
the XiII printer’s mechanics, printhead, communications, command inter
-
pretation, label formatting, media control, and mechanical drive.
Print Mechanism Capabilities
The XiII print mechanism has been designed to print information on labels,
tickets, and tags. It uses a square or rectangular dot thermal printhead that
heats a ribbon as it passes beneath the print elements, melting its ink onto
the media (direct thermal print mode involves using heat-sensitive media
instead of an inked ribbon). Print speeds are selected via software control.
