Interface Cables (Parallel, Serial and USB)
Interface Description
Parallel Interface
(optional
interface)
Using a standard parallel cable, plug the hardware license key into a LPT parallel port,
and connect the cable between the key and the printer.
Serial Interface
(standard
interface)
Use an RS232-C null modem cable.The hardware license key is not part of the serial
interface since it must always be plugged into a LPT parallel port. Some Datamax may
require other serial configurations.
USB Interface
(standard or
optional interface)
Use a standard USB cable between the printer and computer (or server), and plug in
either a USB or Parallel hardware license key to one of the other ports on the
computer.

Label Options Section
Print Speed (IPS)
The range of available print speeds in inches per second (IPS)
varies with the selected printer type. Note that the printer may use
a slower print speed than you specify in order to maintain print
quality.
Slew Rate (IPS)
This setting affects the speed in inches per second (IPS) at which
the paper is fed when advancing over non-printing areas. This
setting may affect printer throughput.
Darkness
This allows you to control the darkness of the print. -3 is nominal;
setting the temperature higher than -3 causes the label to print
darker. Temperature settings lower than -3 cause the label to print
lighter. The valid values range from -15 to 15.
Format Number
Specifies the areas of RAM in which the label format is to be stored.
The valid values are 1-100.
Print Quality
This setting only applies to the P5000 Series line matrix printers
and is somewhat similar to the darkness control on the thermal
transfer printers.
n Best - prints the darkest images, but at the slowest speed.
n High - prints at a faster speed than Best, but the characters
are not as dark.
n Data Processing - This mode should be set if the highest
speed is desired, printing is not as dark as High.
