4630/4830 Introduction

The 4630 is a thermal/thermal transfer printer with a print width of 2 to 6.4 inches (16.26cm),300dpi resolution (11.8 dots/mm), and a print speed of 2 to 8 ips. The 4630s mechanical andelectrical design is derived from the Datamax DMX 600.

The 4830 is a thermal/thermal transfer printer with a print width of 3 to 8.5 inches (21.6cm),300dpi resolution (11.8 dots/mm), and a print speed of 2 to 5 ips. The 4830s mechanical andelectrical design is derived from the Datamax DMX 800.

Both printers communicate using IPL (Intermec Programming Language), with the samecommand set as other Intermec printers. 4x30 printers are also compatible with Intermeccontrollers like the 9154 and 9161 using multi-drop and polling mode D.

128K of battery backed RAM is standard for storage of formats, graphics and fonts. One Meg ofDRAM is used for label imaging and can be upgraded with a 4 Meg SIMM for imaging longerlabels.

Resident fonts include 3 outline and 21 bitmapped fonts, along with the Code Page 850 characterset.

The 4x30 can print PDF417, Code 1, and Maxicode 2D barcodes as well as standard onedimension barcodes.

Both printers use a autoranging, switching power supply that accomodates 115/230 VAC at 50 or60 Hz. Circuit protection is provided by 2, 8amp 250V fast-blo fuses, located in the powersupply.

4830/4630 Features

• 300 Dpi Print Resolution This print density offers the better print quality for graphics and fonts than 200dpi printers.Bar code printing at 300 dpi gives an X dimension of 6.6 mils (0.0066 in).

• 6.4 inch (4630) and 8.5 inch (4830) Maximum Print Width

The 4630 has a print width from 2.0 to 6.4 inches (5.1 to 16.26 cm). The maximum mediawidth the printer will accept is 6.7 inches or 17.02 cm. The 4830 has a print width from 3.0 to 8.5 inches (7.62 to 21.6 cm). The maximum mediawidth the printer accepts is 9.0 inches or 22.86 cm.

• Maximum Print Speeds of 2-8 ips (4630) or 2-5 ips (4830)

A user-selectable print speed offers the ability to adjust printer throughput to meet variedprinting requirements and media types. Factory default is 3.5 ips.

• IPL (Intermec Programming Language) Both printers use the same command set as other Intermec printers like the 4400, 3240 and3400. Both printers work with Intermec controllers so they can be attached to Pol D andmulti-drop configurations.

• LCD Control Panel

The control panel is similar to the 4400 control panel in physical layout and menu structure.With a 16 character by 2 line LCD display, a Online/Offline button and LED, a Feed/Reloadand Canel button, an Alert LED for media lowstock indications and hardware faults and aPower LED. An access door hides the Control Panel menu selection buttons.

The control panel makes it easy to configure the printer, enable or disable options, and testthe printer without it being connected to an external source.

• 2 Serial, Bi-Directional Parallel and General Purpose I/O

Both printers come standard with two serial ports, a Centronics type parallel port and a GPIport. This provides a great deal of flexibility for connecting the printer to various or multiplehost systems. Both serial ports are DB-25 pin, with RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485connections.

• 128K Storage RAM, 1Meg Image DRAM

The printers come with 128K of battery backed storage RAM for formats, graphics and fonts.Image RAM is 1Meg that provides for a maximum label size of 10 inches for the 4630 and 8inches for the 4830. Image DRAM can be upgraded with a 4 Meg SIMM for longer labels.

• Optional - 2Meg NVRAM Memory Card

The 2 meg memory card has the same footprint of a PC Card (PCMCIA) but is not PC Cardcompatible. The card can be used to increase the amount of non-volatile storage for formats,graphics and downloaded fonts. There are 2 separate memory card slots, located above thelabel supply holder, for a 4 megaB total. See page A-6 for location.

• Optional - 4Meg Image DRAM ExpansionThe 4 MB DRAM SIMM expansion is used to improve imaging performance whencustomers need to print formats with a large number of graphics or variable fields. The 4MB is added to the 1 MegB standard image DRAM and increases the maximum print lengthto 64 inches.

This option is a factory or field service installed accessory.


• Autoranging Switching Power Supply Both printers use a autoranging, switching power supply that accomodates 115/230 VAC at50 or 60 Hz. Circuit protection is provided by 2, 8amp 250V fast-blo fuses, located in thepower supply.

• 18,000 inch (452meter) Ribbon Supply

Ribbon to label supply ratio is 3 to 1. Ribbon replacement only needs to occur after every 3rolls of label stock, reducing down time.

• Metal Construction and Enclosed Media

The 4x30 is specifically engineered to withstand heavy-duty industrial applications and harshenvironments. The media enclosure protects label stock from contamination that cannegatively affect print quality.

• Optional - Full Roll Internal Rewinder

For rewinding large batches of labels or for taking up label backing when using the Self-Stripadapter option. This option is can be installed only at the factory.

• Programmable, Non-Volatile Printer Configuration

The printer configuration can be changed via the control panel or with online commands.Some commands change printer configuration only while the printer is powered on whileother commands change the power up configuration. All power-up configuration changes aresaved in battery backed SRAM.

• 2D Symbology Support ( PDF 417, Code One and Maxicode) The 4x30 can print PDF417, Code 1, and Maxicode 2D barcodes as well as the standard one

dimension barcodes. • Outline/Vector Font Support There are 3 outline fonts resident; c25 is a monospace 821 standard, c26 is a monospaced

821 bold, and c27 is a proportional Dutch Roman 801. They give smooth, rounded charactersat any point size.

• Bitmapped Font Capabilities 21 point sizes offer customers greater imaging speed and format flexibility with a range of 6

points to 36 points.

• User Selectable Gap Feature For FontsA fonts intercharacter gap is adjustable. This can help to maximize the usability of a textfields label area.

• Printable Control Characters

Beside the normal way of sending commands and data to the printer using control characters,you can now use printable control characters and the printer will interpret them. Control characters represent the first 32 characters of the ASCII chart and are normallyunprintable. Control characters are entered from the keyboard using the Ctrl key + a printablecharacter, like Ctrl + G is a <BEL> character. This method of using control characters can beconfusing, complicated and unworkable with most text editors. To simplify the sending of commands and data to the printer, printable control characterswere implemented. You can now send the printable characters <+B+E+L+> instead ofhaving to enter control characters like Ctrl + G. This makes it possible to use any text editorto create a file of commands and data for the printer.


• Third Party label design software Loftware (LLM) and Seagull Scientific (Bar Tender) have drivers for the 4x30 printer in

their label design software packages. • Optional - Internal Twinax/Coax Interface

The Intermec 4630/4830 IBM Coax-Twinax Interface Adapter allows customers to connectthe 4630 and 4830 printers to an IBM coax or twinax cable system.

The twinax capability enables the printer to operate with an IBM system 34/36/38 or AS/400host computer as specified in the IBM 5250 Twinax Interface Programming ApplicationInterface. The adapter supports a half-duplex, two wire, twisted pair twinaxial cableinterface. Connected to the this twinax port, the printer emulates IBM 4234-002 / 5225-1/2/3/4 printers. This enables programming staff to easily develop software to print to the4630 and 4830 and provides seamless integration into an IBM midrange system. Host-to-printer commands are sent from the host computer to the Twinax adapter. The Twinaxadapter converts EBCDIC/IBM commands into ASCII/Intermec printer commands.

The coax capability is designed for connecting Intermec 4630 and 4830 bar code printers toIBM 3270 Type A cable computer systems operating in the VTAM (CICS/TSO)environment. This interfaces supports the IBM 3174/3274 coax electrical standard asspecified in the IBM 3174/3274 Coax Programming Application Interface. Connected to thecoax port, the 4630 or 4830 printer emulates IBM 3287/4234 type printers. A customer’sprogramming staff can then develop software to print to the 4630 and 4830.

This option is a factory or field service installed accessory. • Optional - Self-Strip with Present Sensor

For on-demand label applications using adhesive back labels, this option automaticallyremoves the backing paper and presents the label ready for use. With the media presentsensor, the printer waits until the last printed label is taken, then prints the next label. TheSelf-Strip Adapter must be used in conjunction with the Full Roll Internal Rewind option.

This option is a factory or field service installed accessory.

Option Restrictions: In lieu of Cutter Accessories • Optional Connectivity Features Local Area Network Connectivity

Customers can connect the 4630 or 4830 to an Ethernet TCP/IP or Novell Netwarenetwork using the Extended Systems Print Server which can be acquired through Intermec’s Buy-On-Order process.

Media Loading

The printer accepts a wide range of media. It can be loaded with roll fed, fan folded, or die cutcontinuous media of either Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal type.

Media width can range from:4630 2 in. (25.4 mm) to 6.7 in. (170 mm)4830 3 in. (76 mm) to 9 in. (229 mm)

Media thickness can range from 0.0025 in. (0.0535 mm) to 0.01 in. (0.254 mm) for both printers.

Loading Roll Labels

1. Open the stock door2. Slide a roll of the chosen medium onto the media hub assembly.3. Raise the printhead latch wing and rotate it counterclockwise one half turn to unlock the

printhead. Swing the printhead to the raised position.

4. Route the media under the bouncer assembly and in between the upper and lower media guides. Feed the media until it exits the printhead assembly.

5. Lower the printhead and engage the printhead latch. Rotate the latch wing one half turn clockwise and snap the latch wing down to lock the printhead into position.

Note:


Media Width AdjustmentThe printer can use a variety of media widths and thicknesses. To ensure even print qualityacross the media regardless of changes in media dimensions, the print head has a leveling camadjustment. The cam raises and lowers the right side of the print head to keep the printhead levelacross the media.

Your printer is setup at the factory for the following media:4630 Standard 4 mil thick, 6.5 inch wide print media.4830 Standard 4 mil thick, 9.0 inch wide print media.

The cam adjustment is designed to compensate for the use of narrower width stock. When thecam is out of adjustment, print along one side of the label will be missing as the print drops offsuddenly, rather than gradually fading out.

The adjustment knob is designed with detents that allow it to turn a specific distance, one click ata time. The knob has numbers for you to use as reference points when adjusting media width;however, the numbers do not relate to specific media sizes. Turn the knob one click at a timeuntil the desired print quality is achieved.

When changing media of a different thickness, it may also be necessary to reset the camadjustment bracket.

To reset the cam adjustment bracket

1. Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise until it stops.

2. Loosen the two screws securing the bracket.

3. Load the new media.

4. Slide the bracket up or down to contact the cam adjustment.

5. Tighten the two screws to secure the bracket.

6. Print a test label. You may need to turn the cam adjustment knob to fine tune the print quality.


Loading Thermal Transfer RibbonIf you plan to print in thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon on theribbon supply hub after you install the thermal transfer media.

To load thermal transfer ribbon

1. Open the stock door.

2. Raise the printhead latch wing and rotate counterclockwise one half turn to unlock the printhead. Swing the printhead to the raised position.

3. Slide the ribbon roll onto the hub, making sure the ribbon roll is up against the hub flange.

4. Pull the free end of the ribbon under the printhead carriage.

5. Remove the J-hook from the ribbon rewind hub.

6. Pull the ribbon over the ribbon idler rollers, wrap the free end of the ribbon around the ribbon take-up hub and slide the J-hook ribbon clasp into place. Rotate the hub until all slack is removed from the ribbon (do not use the J-hook to rotate the hub).

7. Lower the printhead, engage the printhead latch, rotate the latch wing one half turn clockwise and lower the latch wing.

8. Close the stock door.

Removing Thermal Transfer RibbonGenerally, ribbons are used to completion and then replaced. To remove the old ribbon, pull itstraight off the take-up hub and discarding it. However, there may be times when you need to usedirect thermal media before the thermal transfer ribbon has been completely used.


To remove the thermal transfer ribbon

1. Cut the ribbon between the idler rollers.2. Turn the ribbon supply hub clockwise to draw the unused portion of the ribbon back

until it is clear of the printhead. You do not have to unlatch the printhead or remove the unused portion of the ribbon.

3. Turn the ribbon take-up hub counterclockwise to roll up the used portion of the ribbon, and slide the used ribbon off the hub.

The unused portion of the ribbon may be left in place until the next thermal transfer printjob, at which time it may be installed following the ribbon installation procedure.

Using the Tear BarThe tear bar is already fastened to the printer. To utilize the tear bar, remove the rewind bracketand replace the thumbscrews.

Using the Control Panel

You can operate many features of the printer directly from the control panel instead of through ahost computer. The control panel provides the means for all direct communications with theprinter such as advancing media or canceling the current print job.

Reading the DisplayMessages that indicate printer settings and alert conditions appear on the control panel display.

4630/4830 Maintenance

Cleaning the PrintheadCleaning media debris from the printhead maintains close contact between the media andprinthead, which provides good print quality. The printhead should be cleaned after every 5 rollsof media. Always clean the printhead immediately if a label jams in the printer.

Cleaning the Cutter BladesThe cutter blades (optional) require a minimal amount of maintenance. After every 5,000 to10,000 label cuts, check the front and back sides of the cutter blades. If there is adhesive buildupon the blades, clean them with a cloth or cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Rub thesurfaces until the blades are completely clean.

You should also clean parts of the cutter where the media enters and exits the cutter assembly.Watch for signs of adhesive buildup such as slower cutter operation or increased effort to cutmedia.

The cutter produces dust and paper particles as it operates. Make sure this debris does not buildup inside the printer or the cutter mechanism. A small vacuum cleaner or compressed air iseffective in removing a buildup of these particles.

Cleaning the Media Guides and Media PathYou should clean the media guides and media path regularly to keep debris off the media surfaceand printhead where irregularities can spoil print quality or damage the printhead. Cleaning theguides also prevents the media from skewing or improperly tracking as it travels through thepaper path, which can result in smeared images and print off the side of the label. Always cleanthe media guides immediately after a label jam in the printer.

Media debris may accumulate around the printer mechanism and along the media path duringnormal operation of the printer. Clean the debris away regularly using a soft bristle brush orvacuum cleaner. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive. Clean the flat surfaces of themedia path (including the edge guide) with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

4630/4830 Adjustments

There are 5 adjustment points on the 4630/4830 printers

1- Printhead Alignment or Printhead Burn Point

2- Bias Adjustment or Head Level Cam

3- Media Width Guide

4- Media Sensor

5- Head Home Sensor

Printhead Alignment or Burn Point AdjustmentThe Printhead Burn Point is the place where the flat surface of the printhead heater line actuallymeets the surface of the media (and ribbon, in thermal transfer mode).

The Burn Point Adjustment is performed by loosing the two Printhead Assembly Anchor screws(only enough to move the carriage) and rotating the two spring-loaded Allen screws situated ontop of the Printhead housing. Rotating the screws moves either side of the printhead forward andbackward along the media path to adjust the burn point for maximum print quality. When theadjustment is complete, tighten the Printhead Assembly Anchor screws.

When out of adjustment, the skewed position of the Printhead causes the print to fade out towardone side of the label.

CAUTION - Do not force or over tighten the adjustment screws

Printhead Alignment or Burn Point Adjustment

4x30 Page S - 10 4 x 3 0 - S e r v i c e

Printhead Bias or Leveling Cam Adjustment

The Printer can use a variety of media widths and thicknesses. To ensure even print qualityacross the media regardless of changes in media dimensions, the Printhead has a leveling camadjustment. The Cam raises and lowers the right side of the Printhead to keep the Printhead levelacross the media.

The Printer is factory set using a standard 4 mil thick, six inch wide print media. The CamAdjustment is designed to compensate when narrower width stock is used. When out ofadjustment, print along one side of the label will be missing. The print drops off suddenly, ratherthan gradually fading out.

The adjustment knob is designed with detents which allow it to turn a specific distance, one clickat a time. The knob is numbered for the convenience of the operator. (The numbers do notrelate to specific media sizes). Turn the knob one click at a time until the desired print quality isachieved.

When changing to media of different thickness, it may also be necessary to reset the CamAdjustment Bracket. To reset the Bracket (1.) Turn the Adjustment Knob counter-clockwiseuntil it stops; (2.) Loosen the two screws securing the Bracket; (3.) Load the new sized media;(4.) Slide the Bracket up or down to contact the Cam Adjustment; (5.) Tighten the two screwsto secure the Bracket. Print a test label and turn the Cam Adjustment Knob if necessary to finetune the print quality.

Caution - Do not force or over tighten the adjustment knob

Media Sensor Adjustment

The Media Sensor performs two functions. It acts both as a Position sensor, which allows thePrinter to monitor the position of a label along the media path, and as a Media Present sensor,which informs the Printer when stock must be replaced. The Printer’s firmware controls whetherthe sensor detects the Top Of Form position or an Out Of Stock condition This sensor must becorrectly adjusted for proper Printer operation.

Transmissive (Gap) Sensor adjustmentWhen using transmissive label backing, the transmissive sensor detects the position of each labelby passing light from an LED through the label backing material. Because more light passesthrough the backing alone than through the label plus backing, the sensor is able to discriminatebetween the two situations, and thus identify the position of the label. To adjust this sensorvalue:

Reflective (Black Mark) Edge Sensor Adjustment

When using stock with reflective label backing, the sensor detects the position of each label byreflecting a light signal off the label backing material. This sensing method requires the use ofspecial label backing that contains a carbon black stripe. The sensor detects the Top Of Formposition by sensing the voltage drop when the reflected light is absorbed by the black stripe.

Media Sensor Assembly - Mechanical AdjustmentIn order to be able to detect the label edge and/or carbon black stripe for all media sizes, theMedia Sensor is adjustable across half of the media path. The position of the Media Sensor mayneed to be adjusted when changing from a wider to a narrower media stock size to ensure thatthe sensor is positioned to detect the label edge.

Rotating the knurled adjustment knob clockwise sets the sensor for wider media. In general, ifthe knob is kept in the full counter-clockwise position it will correctly sense media. However, ifthere is a problem in sensing Top Of Form, try rotating this knob clockwise, one half turn at atime, until the error is eliminated.

CAUTION - Do not force or over tighten this adjustment knob

Media Sensor Assembly - Adjustment

Media Width GuideTo ensure smooth passage of the media through its path, the Media Width Guide should beadjusted with every change in media width.

The Upper Width Guide should always be kept adjusted. The rear and bottom Feed Slots arenot equipped Width Guides.

To adjust, slide the guide in or out until it just touches the edge of the media.

4630/4830 Electronic Theory

In the design of the 4630/4830 Printer, the majority of the electronic functions are combined on asingle circuit board, utilizing the Intel i960 type microprocessor.

The microprocessor is responsible for overseeing the data flow throughout the system; forprocessing and formatting print data; for managing the print cycle in which print data is sent tothe Printhead and the Printhead elements activated; and for monitoring the sensors for alarmconditions.

MicroprocessorThe 32 bit Intel 80960 JA Microprocessor (U22) formats label data, and sends it to the thermalprint head control circuits.

The 80960 JA calculates the proper strobe times for each print cycle based on print headtemperature. The four 8-bit latches (U41 ,U42, U44 and U45) are used to latch the 32 addressbits during each address interval.

Thermal Printhead Control circuit.This circuit operates during a print cycle as follows:

!

" #$ %! &'() % "!

% # &'() * #+( ! # * , -(( -((

. / # * , * & *, # * #

The Printhead contains two buffers. While the first (input) buffer is loaded with print data, thesecond (output) buffer transmits its data to the printhead. When the first buffer has been filledwith print data, it transfers the data in parallel to the second buffer. This clears the input bufferand prepares it to receive the next block of print data.

The Programmable Interrupt Controller at U67 expands the total number of available interruptson the i960 board to 10.

Programmable TimerThe programmable timer (U64) provides three independent timing signals.

Timer0 0 $ , ! $

Timer1 0 & , , #

Timer2 0 + 0 , ( - 1"!

4x30 Page S - 56 4 x 3 0 - S e r v i c e

Analog to Digital (A to D) Converter (U72)Converts analog input signals to digital data. Four channels are used :

0 ) ) 2, &

0 ) #

0 ) # 3 ,

0 ) - $4

DRAM MemoryThe Printer is factory equipped with 1 Megabyte of DRAM (U43, U52). The 1 MB consists oftwo 256K by 16 bit chips, producing a total of is 256K by 32 bits. DRAM is expandable to amaximum 5 MB.

Address are multiplexed into DRAM by the DRAM address multiplexer (U53,U54 and U60).

EPROM MemoryThe Printer is factory equipped with 2 MB of EPROM (U28, U29, U30 and U31). Each chipconsists of 4 megabits of ROM arranged as 512K by 8 bits, forming a 512K by 32 bit (2 MB)array.

Real-Time-Clock (RTC)The RTC chip, located at U61, provides time information, and contains 114 bytes of non-volatiledata storage, used to store set-up data for the Printer.

Note:

Ribbon SensorThe ribbon sensor circuit is comprised of a voltage comparator (U58- pins 1,6, and 7), 4 resistors(R111, R132, R133, and R202), 1 diode (D10), and 1 capacitor (C7). In thermal transfer mode,the circuit insures that the Ribbon Rewind Hub is functioning properly.

Paper Motion SensorThe paper motion sensor circuit, comprised of a voltage comparator (U58, pins 2,4, and 5), 4resistors (R189, R190, R201 and R238), 1 diode (D11, and 1 capacitor (C6), operates in directthermal mode paper motion to insure that the Media Rewind Hub is functioning properly.

Head Home SensorThe head home sensor circuit is comprised of a voltage comparator (U58, pins 10,11 and 13)and4 resistors (R191, R192, R208 and R230). The circuit is designed to ensure that the Printhead islocked in the down position.

4 x 3 0 - S e r v i c e 4x30 Page S - 57

Paper Edge SensorThe paper edge sensor circuits consists of three invertors (U59-10,11, U59-12,13 and U59-8,9),two potentiometers (R1 and R2), and one transistor (Q7).

The paper edge sensor operates in both reflective type and transmissive sensing modes. In thetransmissive mode the transmissive LED is turned ON and the reflective LED is turned OFF. Inthe reflective mode the reflective LED is turn ON and the transmissive LED is turned OFF.

Potentiometer R1 controls the gain of the detector (photo transistor) by controlling the value ofthe collector load resistor.

Potentiometer R2 controls the gain of the reflective sensor by controlling the amount of currentin the reflective LED.

Front Panel InterfaceThe 34-position connector J9 provides the interface connections between the I960 board and thefront panel P.C. board.

The inputs on U39-2 through U39-9 and U68-9 come from the nine keypad switches located onthe Control and Operator's panels.

Three LED's located on the front panel are driven by U47 and U8.

They are: U47-12 = On Line/Pause, U47-13 = Media/Ribbon, and U8-6 = Power.

Signals labeled TX, DTR, RX and CTS are connected to the RS232 phone jack connector locatedon the Operator's Panel PC board . These lines are used when the Printer is connected to aremote terminal.

The J9 connector also provides the +24v and +24v return signals used to supply power to theCutter option DC motor (J9-32 and J9-34), when that option is installed.

Bi-directional Parallel PortThe bi-directional parallel port consists of a portion of the U40 (UART), all of U21 (octal D-typeflip-flops), all of U18 (octal tri-state buffer), all of U25 (gal) and invertors U12-9,8, U12-11,10,U12-12,13 and U35-11,12,13. The timing and pin connections are fully Centronics compatible.

Serial Ports (A and B)The two bi-directional serial ports (A and B) are totally compatible with both RS232 or RS422communications protocol levels.

The Serial ports are comprised of connector J5, RS232 driver chip U57, RS232 receiver chipU49, RS422 driver/receiver chip U37, AND gates U34 (pins 8 through 13) and a portion of U40(UART).

RS422 outputs can be independently enabled or disabled by software.

PCMCIA InterfaceWhen the optional PCMCIA interface board is plugged into connector J18, the dual connector onthe interface board can accommodate 2 PCMCIA cards (either Type 1 or Type 2).

The interface board has a 208 pin surface mount ASIC chip that provides the interface betweenthe I960 bus and the PCMCIA bus.

The interface board also has two 5 volt to 3.3 volt converter chips that make it possible to use 3.3Volt as well as 5 Volt PCMCIA cards.

+9V and -9V Converter CircuitsThe -9V converter circuit (U66, R203, C101, C102, C10, C11, D1 and D2). is used to convert+12 volts to -9 volts.

The 9V regulator circuit (VR1, C109, R194, R195 and C103) is used to convert +12 volts to +9volts.

Ribbon Saver InterfaceConnector J15 provides two output control lines and two input control lines for the optionalribbon saver board. J15 also provides the voltages needed by the ribbon save board (+5v and+35v).

The ribbon save board drives a stepper motor which is used to raise or lower the Printhead undersoftware control. Raising the print head from the media allows the Printer to skip over whitespace. Since the ribbon does not advance when the Printhead is raised, skipping over white areassignificantly reduces ribbon usage.
