Print Speed Limits
59
Validation Report Type
Another factor that limits print speed is the type of validation report
selected. The printer automatically examines the selected report
type and sets the defined maximum slew (vertical paper
movement) and print speeds to insure proper operation. If the
current speed selected in the menus is higher than the maximum,
the value is changed to equal the maximum. If the current menu
setting is lower than the newly set maximum, no change in speed
occurs.
Min. Code Gap
Minimum Code Gap represents the distance between the closest
bar codes within a print job. The distance is measured from the
bottom of one bar code to the top of the next bar code. The closest
bar codes can be located on two separate labels or on the same
label.
This distance is important because it affects how fast the Print
Speed can be set. If the bottom-most bar code on one label is very
close to the top-most bar code on the next label, the printer could
have trouble distinguishing which bar code correlates with which
label. To avoid the risk of miscorrelation, the printer automatically
set its Print Speed.
Factory Default = 0.25 inches*
(Range = 0.15 to 1.00 inches in 0.01 inch increments.)
To change the Min. Code Gap:
1. Press to take the printer offline and place the printer in
Menu mode.
2. If necessary, press
↓ and ↵ at the same time to unlock the
