• Download forms, fonts, and graphics to printer memory.

• High resolution printhead for sharp graphics and text.

• Label Taken Sensor for detecting removal of labels in Tear-Off mode (and

in Peel-Off mode when optional rewinder is installed).

• Tear-Off mode for positioning the label at the tear-off position and

detecting its removal before printing the next label.

• Tear-Off Strip mode for printing a specified number of labels and

positioning the last label at the tear-off position.

• 8MB DRAM memory.

• 4MB Flash memory.

• Auto Label Mapping

Line Matrix printers.

Optional Features

Ask your authorized representative about the following options which can

enhance the versatility of your printer:

• Fonts: A selection of fonts is available to extend the capabilities of the

standard resident fonts.

• Internal Label Rewinder: In label peel-off mode, peels off labels one at a

time before printing the next label and rewinds the liner into a discardable

roll. In batch rewind mode, rewinds printed labels into a removable roll.

• Memory Expansion (for non-IPDS printers only):

• 16MB DRAM SIMM - Provides additional memory to accommodate

long label formats.

• 10MB Flash SIMM - Provides additional memory to accommodate

IPDS.

• Media Cutter: The cutter is used to automatically cut printed media when

the media exits the printer.

• Media Cutter Tray: This option is used with the Media Cutter option to

catch the cut media in a bin.

• Coax/Twinax Host Interface: This provides connection to an IBM host

computer system using a coax or twinax interface.

• Network Interface Card (NIC): This option allows you to attach the

printer to a LAN (Local Area Network) rather than attaching it directly to a

host computer.

The printer may be ordered with this option installed and the required

hardware to support it, or it can be field installed by an authorized service

representative at a later date. The parallel port is no longer accessible

when the NIC option is installed.

NOTE: In this manual, the terms “Network Interface Card” (or “NIC”) and

“Ethernet” are used interchangeably.
