Transfer Print
The parameter "Transfer print" is used to set the Apollo to the print mode, either
direct thermal printing or thermal transfer printing.
This setting has an influence on two factors. On one hand, in thermal transfer
mode the printer works at a lower heat level compared to the direct thermal
printing mode. On the other hand, the ribbon sensor is only active in thermal
transfer printing mode.
This parameters can also be changed via software. For different print jobs it is
recommended that you carry out all changes in the software.

Label Sensor
The printers of the Apollo series offer different methods for recognizing the
front edge of the label.
In most cases, the label edge sensor photocell can be used in the see-through
mode ("Gap sensor" mode), where the different transparency of the material is
used to distinguish between the labels and the gaps.
In certain cases, for instance when pre-printed continuous paper is used, the
label edge can also be recognized through reflective marks. (see also section
about label formats; page 20) All versions of the Apollo offer the see-through
mode and reflective mark recognition on the bottom side of the material. In
addition, Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 are also able to recognize reflective marks on
the top of the material.
This parameter can also be changed via software. For different print jobs it is
recommended that you do the changes in the software.

Interface
The settings of this parameter determine the method of communication
between printer and computer.
Therefore, the type of interface and, if necessary, the baud rate, and the
protocol or network address can be specified.
The parameter setting cannot be changed via software.
