Speeding Up Output for Narrow Media

This shortens output time by reducing the width of head movement to the minimum necessary. This is effective when the width of the media or the output data is narrow.
Procedure
  1. Load the media.
  2. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MENU.
  3. Tap Media Settings - Other Media Settings - Printing Movement Range.
  4. Specify the range of print head movement during printing.
    Output Data Width Matches the range of print head movement to the output data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount necessary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest output. Note, however, that because the speed of media movement is no longer constant, colors may be uneven.
    Media Width Matches the range of print head movement to the width of the media.
    Full Width The print heads move from one end of the machine to the other. Makes the speed of media movement constant at all times and produces the most stable printing result.
