Using the Printer
Formax
Unwinder Settings • Disable Unwinder
Enable this option when using an external unwinder.
• Invert rotation of Unwinder
Enable this option when using Face-in label stock.
Other settings • Retract media when printer is idle for 10 or 30 minutes
(default)
When the media remains in the printer for some time, it
may become deformed and affects the print quality. To
avoid this, select this option.
• Enable virtual printing
Simulate printing to estimate ink usage.
a) Select Enable virtual printing.
b) Print in the usual way. The printer will not actually
print, but will estimate ink usage for the print job.
c) On the
Printer Status page, select Ink Status to view
estimates.
The control panel will display Simulation when the printer
is in this mode.
• Disable cut at the start of a print job
Do not cut the media at the start of a print job. Enable
this option if the printer is used in a clean room to reduce
unwanted paper dust/debris.
• Use fixed USB ID
When enabled, the Host PC uses a fixed internal USB ID
instead of assigning a different USB ID to each printer in
the Plug-N-Play setup process. Enable this option if you
need to hot-swap printers on a PC.
• Enable Enhanced Fast-Time-To-First Label (ETTFL)
Trade off some printhead cleaning routines before the
start of a print job to reduce the time of the first printout
in the Print and Hold mode.
• Enable Extended Printhead Clean Cycle at the End-of-Job
This option adds a Normal printhead clean cycle to the
standard cleaning sequence at the End-of-Job.
• Enable Ink spit every 10 min in standby mode
Enable this option when the printer is used in a dry
environment, characterized by low humidity (~20% RH)
and low temperature. (~15
o C or 59 o F)
• Enable Maintenance Module Servicing message
When checked, the printer will display an error to notify
the user if there is an issue encountered with the
Maintenance Module which will affect print quality. The
user can service the module at that time.
