Mode | Description |
|---|---|
Direct Thermal printing | Uses heat-sensitive media to print. When setting this mode, use media that supports this mode of printing. See Determining Thermal Media Types.) |
Thermal Transfer printing | Requires ribbon rolls or a thermal transfer ribbon cartridge to print. While printing, heat and pressure transfer ink from the ribbon to the media. When using Thermal Transfer printing, be sure to use thermal transfer media. See Determining Thermal Media Types.) |
Standard tear-off mode | Allows you to tear off each label or to batch-print a strip of labels and tear them off after the printer has printed the label(s). |
Label dispense mode | If your printer has the optional factory-installed label dispenser, the dispenser automatically peels away the backing material from a label as it is being printed before it prints the next label. |
Media cutting mode | If your printer has the optional, factory-installed media cutter, the printer cuts the label liner between the labels, the receipt paper, or the tag stock. |
Linerless media printing | In linerless printing, the printer can use either cut or tear-off label options for easy pick-and-place label applications. |
Standalone operation (printer operates on its own without a live network connection) | The printer can print an auto-running label format or form (programming based) without being actively connected to another device such as a computer.
|
Shared network printing mode | Printers configured with factory-installed Ethernet (LAN) and Wi-Fi (WLAN) interface options ship with an internal print server to enable wired and wireless networking. |
