Pitney Bowes J693 manual Media Settings, Media Type, Sensor Type, Label Length, Sensor Calibration

4.1.1Media Settings

MEDIA TYPE					Selects a print method.
	DIRECT THERMAL				For use with heat sensitive media.
	óTHERMAL TRANSFER				For use with media requiring a ribbon to
					create an image.
SENSOR TYPE					Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing
					method for the media.
	GAP				The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
	ó				gaps in the media.
	CONTINUOUS				No TOF sensing. The user must use the
					LABEL LENGTH setting to determine TOF.
	REFLECTIVE				The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
					reflective (black) marks on the underside of
					media.
LABEL LENGTH					For use with continuous media. Label length
04.00in			(0-99.99)		is used to determine the TOF when ‘Sensor
					Type-Continuous’ is selected.
MAXIMUMó			LABEL LENGTH		Sets the maximum length between TOF
16.00in			(0-99.99)		marks (gap or black stripe). If this limit is
					exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.
SENSOR CALIBRATION ♦					Adjusts the printer to sense your media.
	PERFORM CALIBRATION			The user follows steps to allow the printer to
					calculate the empty, gap or mark, and paper
					values to set the media sensor.
					Note: Firmware versions 3.04 and
					greater – After successful completion,
					these parameters are automatically stored
					for future sessions.
	ADVANCED ENTRY				The user directly inputs the best values to
					adjust the media sensor.
		SENSOR LEVELS			Sets threshold values for the media sensor
					parameters. Entry for paper, gap/mark, and
					empty thresholds.
		SENSOR GAIN			Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR
					GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor
					for custom label stock.
