Cutter
A heavy duty cutter option is available on the Compact4 printer. The
cutter attaches to the front of the printer and cuts the material after it
has stopped, allowing it to fall freely. The cutter option allows you to
cut a label or tag to the desired length or cut between labels, so that
the printed materials can be easily stacked. The heavy duty cutter
allows reliable cutting through label and liner or card stock as thick as
180 μm (.007 inches). This accessory may only be installed at the
factory or by a qualified service technician (not available for the
Compact4 Mobile models).
Print Head Diagnostics (PHD)
The Print Head Diagnostic Kit (PHD) allows the printer to
send a warning when a printhead failure such as a
missing dot is detected, allowing the user to intervene
and render service if necessary. The printhead check
can be done as frequently as after every label or after
daily shifts. The printhead status can also be reported to
the host anytime it is requested. Further action can be
taken by utilizing the barcode position adjustment
parameter. With this feature, the printer can
automatically shift the barcode position so that a dot out
does not affect the printed barcode. This is done by
shifting the barcode to an area where the dot out falls in
line with the white space of the barcode. This feature
goes above and beyond any competitorʼs printerʼs ability
to detect and react to a failed printhead. PHD is only
available for use with the 200dpi printhead and may only
be installed at the factory or by a qualified service
technician.
300dpi Print Resolution
The upgrade to 300 dots per inch (dpi) must be ordered as an option and is factory installed. Some
applications require printing at the higher 300 dpi resolution where 200dpi is not adequate.
