46 M-Class
5.1.3 Print Control
HEAT
10 (0-30)
Controls the ‘burn-time’ of the printhead. This is the equivalent of Heat Setting on
most label software programs.
PRINT SPEED
M-4206 > 6 in/s (2-6)
M-4208 >
8 in/s (2-8)
M-4306 >
6 in/s (2-6)
Controls the rate of label movement during the printing process.
FEED SPEED
M-4206 >
6 in/s (2-6)
M-4208 > 8 in/s (2-8)
M-4306 > 6 in/s (2-6)
Controls the rate of label when the FEED Key is pressed.
REVERSE SPEED
M-4206 >
4 in/s (2-5)
M-4208 >
4 in/s (2-5)
M-4306 >
4 in/s (2-5)
Controls the rate of label movement during backup positioning for start of print,
cutting or present distance.
ROW OFFSET
00.00in (0-99.99)
Shifts the vertical start of print position. This is the user setting for row adjustment.
COLUMN OFFSET
00.00in (0-99.99)
Shifts the horizontal, left-justified start of print position to the right without shifting
the Label Width termination point to the right. This is the user setting for Column
Adjust.
PRESENT DISTANCE
0.00in (0-4.00)
Sets the label stop position past the start of print. When the next label format is
received, the printer will automatically backfeed to the start position. If the present
distance is set to zero, the printer will operate without reversing.
CUSTOM ADJUSTMENTS
♦
These factory adjustments independently change the listed parameters to finely tune
the printer and compensate for slight mechanical differences sometimes evident if
multiple printers share label formats.
DARKNESS
32 (1-64)
Controls the printhead strobe time to fine-tune the HEAT setting.
CONTRAST
32 (1-64)
It allows relative print edge (gray) adjustment for the print quality, which allows fine-
tuning for specific media/ribbon mix.
ROW ADJUST
000 DOTS (-150 -150)
Shifts the vertical start of print position in dots upward or downward to fine-tune the
ROW OFFSET setting.
COLUMN ADJUST
000 DOTS (0-128)
Shifts both the horizontal start of print position and the LABEL WIDTH termination
point to the right in dots to fine-tune the COLUMN OFFSET setting.
PRESENT ADJUST
064 DOTS (0-128)
Adjusts the label stopping position in dots to fine-tune the PRESENT DISTANCE
setting.
