Print Technology
Thermodirect and thermotransfer printing
Printhead Type
• “Flat Head” type (ceramic thin film flat head)
• 8.0 dot/mm (203dpi)
• 11.8 dot/mm (300dpi)
Printhead characteristics
Label sensor
The dark/light change at the reflex sensor is taken as the label beginning
(= end of the reflex mark)
CAUTION!
The maximum achievable print width of the AP5.6 is limited by print speed
and print contrast.
Pay attention to the limitations, see Print width limitations at AP5.6 on
page 16.

[2] Measures and setting range of the punch / reflex mark.
Max. print length
The maximum print length depends on the following:
• Printer type
• Printer resolution
• Firmware version
• Parameter settings regarding memory allocation (e.g. SYSTEM
PARAMETERS > Free store size)
Zero line
Offset of the material zero line to the print zero line: 1mm (what means that a
stripe of 1mm width at the inner label margin is unprintable)
Fonts
• 17 Fixsize fonts , including OCR-A and OCR-B
• 3 scalable fonts (Speedo fonts)
• Truetype fonts are supported
• Optionally can Truetype, Speedo and Fixsize fonts be stored on SD-card
Modifying Fonts
• Up to factor 8 scaling in x/y direction
• Rotation by 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees
Impression accuracy
[3] The impression accuracy depends on the print position on the label: the longer the distance to the gap
is, the lower is the impression accuracy. The maximum impression accuracy is at the gap position with
+/- 1mm.
Reading examples:
A: Print positioin 1 is located 50mm behind the gap position. The maximum
possible deflection from the theoretical print position is +/- 1.5mm.
B: Print positioin 1 is located 250mm behind the gap position. The maximum
possible deflection from the theoretical print position is +/- 3.5mm.
Those va lues are empirical for typical applications with common label stock
/ foil combinations. Since the deflection of the print position strongly depends
on the applied label stock / foil combination, it can turn out higher if unfavora ble
combinations are used.
