Registering Print Settings as Media Profiles (When Using Multiple Types of Media)

When you are using multiple types of media, register print settings as media profiles for each type of media. You can access the registered media profiles from the Home screen and apply them to the product. You can easily switch the settings when replacing the media. You can register a maximum of 5 media profiles.

The setting items that can be registered to media profiles are as follows:

•	[Printing] > [Media Type]

•	[Printing] > [Printing Mode]

•	[Printing] > [Speed]

•	[Printing] > [Sensor Type]

•	[Printing] > [Darkness]

•	Setting items under [Printing] > [Advanced] > [Calibrate]

•	Setting items under [Printing] > [Advanced] > [Label Waste Prevention]

•	[Interface] > [RFID] > [RFID Tag Model] > [Load] (RFID models only)

1.	Tap [SETTINGS] on the Home screen or Offline screen.

2.	Input the password if it is enabled.

3.	Tap [Tools].

You can switch the screen by tapping / or sliding the screen to the left or right.

4.	Tap [Media Profiles Editing] > [Media Profiles Registration].

5.	Tap the items shown as [Non-registered].

6.	Tap the type of media to use, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

7.	For the combined direct thermal/thermal transfer model, tap the print method to use, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

8.	Tap the type of sensor to use, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

• If you have selected [Wristband] for media type, you can only select [Gap] or [I-Mark]. • If you have selected [koDakara] for media type, you can only select [I-Mark]. • Select something other than [None] to use RFID tags on an RFID model. If you set [None], you cannot use RFID tags.

9.	Tap [Start] and execute automatic sensor adjustment according to the on-screen instructions.

Remove the label from the liner and set the liner so the I-mark is not above the I-mark sensor.

For media without liners, such as wristbands or journal paper, load the media as is.

When the sensor adjustment is complete, the [Sensor adjustment] value changes to [Complete].

• This is displayed only if you have selected [Gap] or [I-Mark] for the sensor type. • The results of executing automatic sensor calibration are reflected in the setting items under [Printing] > [Advanced] > [Calibrate]. • If you do not execute automatic sensor calibration, the product's currently set values are registered.

10.	Tap or slide the screen to the left.

11.	Select whether to enable or disable the Label Waste Prevention function, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

• This is not displayed if the optional dispenser unit or linerless cutter unit is installed. • The Label Waste Prevention function cannot be used in the following conditions: ◦ When using linerless labels or journal paper ◦ When using media whose labels are not at the leading edge, such as media with I-marks not positioned at the leading edge of the label (However, wristbands and koDakara can be used) ◦ When using RFID tags with inlay positioned within less than 2 mm (0.08") from the leading edge of the media ◦ When using media with back side pre-printing, which is positioned within less than 2 mm (0.08") from the leading edge of the media, and in the center of the horizontal direction of the label (passing position of label top sensor) (However, media that has I-marks can be used.)

12.	Tap [Edit].

To accurately execute the Label Waste Prevention function, register the length of the media.

Register the range of the label length (including liner) that the following illustration shows.

(1) Label length (including liner)

(2) Label

(3) Liner

Calculate the values from the following equations to input dots.

◦	203 dpi: Label length (mm) x 8

◦	305 dpi: Label length (mm) x 12

• If you set it to 0 (Auto), the label length is measured automatically while the first label is being printed. • This is not displayed if the optional dispenser unit or linerless cutter unit is installed. • This is displayed if you have selected [Label] for the media type, and selected [Gap] or [I-Mark] for the sensor type, and enabled the Label Waste Prevention function. • You can change the units to dots, " (inches), or mm in the [System] > [Regional] > [Unit] menu.

13.	Tap or slide the screen to the left.

14.	Adjust the print speed and the print darkness, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

15.	For the RFID models, tap the RFID tag format to use, and then tap or slide the screen to the left.

• If an RFID tag format is not registered, only [None Specified] is displayed. You can register RFID tag formats from the [Interface] > [RFID] > [RFID Tag Model] > [Edit] menu.

16.	Tap [Edit] and edit the name of the media profile to be registered.

You can enter 1 to 16 characters. You can use alphabet (capital and small letters), numbers and symbols. If you do no edits, it is registered as "Media type Media profile number" (example: Label 1).

17.	Tap or slide the screen to the left.

18.	Confirm the settings, and then tap [Register].

19.	Tap to finish.

The media profile is registered.

• To cancel the settings you are currently doing, press the (Power/Home) button. Tap on the message to confirm you want to discard the settings.

An icon is added to the Home screen for the media profile that was registered.

Tap the icon, and tap in the confirmation message to apply the settings to the product.

• If values that cannot be applied to the product settings at that time are included in the media profile you are trying to apply, those values are not reflected.

When a media profile is applied to the product, the name of the registered media profile appears on the Online/Offline screen.

• When even one of the following settings is changed, the name of the media profile disappears from the Online/Offline screen. ◦ Setting items displayed in [Media Profiles Registration] ◦ [Printing] > [Auto-mode] ◦ [Printing] > [Print Mode] • To edit a registered media profile, tap the item with the profile's name in the [Media Profiles Registration] screen, and follow the on-screen instructions to do the settings. • If you edited a media profile that is currently applied, the name of that media profile disappears from the Online/Offline screen. To apply the edited settings to the product, tap the icon on the Home screen again to access the settings.
