Parameter (i)
Explanation
2
3
<n>
Print speed (mm/s).
3
4
<n>
Barcode speed (mm/s). Can be set to a value lower or equal to the normal
print speed in order to get a higher print quality for matrix codes and vertical
(ladder) barcodes.
4
4
<n>
Blank feed speed (mm/s). Can be set to a value higher than the normal print
speed.
5
4,5
<n>
Print head type. Caution: Setting the wrong type of print head will give poor
print quality and can even damage the print head. Valid values for n are:
0 = Unknown head
5 = Kyocera type KST
6 = Rohm type KF – 17B
7 = Rohm type KF – 13B
8 = Kyocera type KPC
6
3
Number of dots per mm on the print head. The value should be 8 dots/mm for
203 dpi heads, or 12 dots/mm for 300 dpi heads.
7
4,5
<n>
Motor steps per mm. This parameter defaults to 24 for Compact and Nova
models. Valid values for n are any positive numbers.
Note! Modify this parameter with caution. An incorrect value will give a
distorted printout and cause labels to stop at the wrong position.
8
4,5
<n>
Print head width, in number of dots. This parameter should be:
832
for Compact, 203 dpi head
1280
for Compact, 300 dpi head
832 for Nova DT, 203 dpi head
864 for Nova TT, 203 dpi head
9
5
<n>
Dot mode. This parameter determines print behaviour when two print fields
overlap. Valid values for n are {0, 1} and they are interpreted as follows:
0 = black on black prints white, XOR (default)
1 = black on black prints black, OR
10
3
Manufacturing date. The result is formatted in a four-digit number, two digits
each for year and week (yyww). If the new serial number format is applied,
however, the manufacturing year is displayed using a single digit (i.e. yww).
16 <n>
Force DT. Only used by TT printer models to be able to use the printer in DT
mode, that is, without ribbon sensing. Valid values for n are {0, 1} and they
are interpreted as follows:
0 = normal mode (default)
1 = forced DT mode
3
Read-only parameter.
4
Protected parameter. Must be unlocked with the !V38153 command first.
5
The printer has to be restarted for the new value to take effect.
