4. මෙහෙයුම
4.1 Printing Modes
The Xprinter H500B/H500E supports two primary printing modes:
- Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens when heated by the print head. No ribbon is required.
- Thermal Transfer: Uses a ribbon that transfers ink to the label material when heated. This method is suitable for more durable labels and a wider range of materials.
4.2 මුද්රණ ලේබල්
Once drivers and software are installed, you can print labels from your chosen application (e.g., Bartender, or any application that supports printing to a label printer).
