Thermal printer technology

With excellent print quality, the Infoprint 6700 printers use an inline thermal printhead that allows two modes of operation. These modes are:

Thermal transfer

During thermal transfer printing, the heated thermal printhead selectively heats elements in the printhead. When the heated elements contact a thermal ribbon, the heat reacts with the ribbon and bonds the image to the paper. This method is used for abrasive, long-storage applications, and IBM ribbons are available for this type of printing.

Direct thermal

During direct thermal printing, the thermal printhead also selectively heats printhead elements. When these elements contact the coated thermal paper, the dyes and developers in the coating react tithe heat and develop an image. This mode of printing is generally used for short-term labeling applications.

Bar code printing

Printed bar codes meet the requirements of ANSI Document X3.182-1990, 'Bar Code Print Quality - Guideline' Grade A.

Printer software

  • Windows drivers
  • Print drivers for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 (NT), and Windows XP are included with the printer.
  • Printer Management Utility (PMU) software
  • A tool to aid migration from bar codes to RFID

Supplies

  • Ribbons
  • Printheads: The printhead must be replaced periodically, and new printheads are obtained as a supply item. The 300 dpi printhead may be ordered to upgrade a 203 dpi machine to 300 dpi.
  • Cleaning pens

The above items are considered supplies and, as such, are not available from IBM service or included in the warranty and maintenance service agreement.

Thermal consumables selection

Since there are two print modes of operation, there are two kinds of thermal media. These are:

Thermal transfer media

Note: Ribbons are available from IBM. Refer to the Supplies section for more information.

Direct thermal media

Note: Direct thermal media is paper coated with special chemicals that act as an accelerator, acceptor dye, and binder. During direct thermal mode, the heat from the thermal printhead contacts the paper and causes a chemical reaction.

The new function described in this announcement will be included on printers shipped on December 19, 2008, and later.

Media handling modes

The printer operates under two basic modes: batch and on-demand. Batch mode is used to print and collect labels for later use. On-demand mode is used in applications where labels will be used immediately after printing.

Batch Mode

In batch mode, the printer unwinds the media from the media supply spindle and prints the labels.

Peel-Off Mode

In Peel-Off Mode, the printer unwinds the media from the supply spindle, prints the label, automatically peels the label from the media carrier web, and leaves the peeled label at the mouth of the printer. The printer then rewinds the waste label carrier web onto the internal rewinder spindle. The label presentation sensor detects when the label has been removed, and the printer then retracts the media before printing the next label.

Tear-Off Mode

In Tear-Off Mode, the printer unwinds the media from the supply spindle, prints the label, and leaves the label at the mouth of the printer (aligning the tear point over the tear-off bar). The label presentation sensor detects when the label has been removed, and the printer then retracts the media before printing the next label (to prevent the loss of a form).

Tear-Off Strip Mode

In Tear-Off Strip Mode, the printer unwinds the media from the supply spindle and continues printing until the print buffer is empty. The printer then positions the last label for removal by aligning the tear point over the tear-off bar. The label presentation sensor can be used in the Tear-Off strip mode to detect when a label has been removed. When the printer buffer is again loaded, the printer will retract the media before resuming printing to prevent the loss of a form.

This feature provides an internal rewinder that enables two modes of operation for the Infoprint 6700 Model R40, R60, or R80. These modes are:

Peel-Off Mode

In Peel-Off Mode the printer unwinds the media from the supply spindle, prints the label, automatically peels the label from the media carrier web and leaves the peeled label at the mouth of the printer. The printer then rewinds the waste label carrier web onto the internal rewinder spindle. The label presentation sensor detects when the label has been removed, and the printer then retracts the media before printing the next label.

Batch Mode:

In batch mode, the labels are wound to a spool after they are printed. The spooled labels can then be used at a later time and place. The maximum spool diameter is 5 inches.
