Action/Explanation

Selecting Print Mode Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (-) key to

display other choices.

Default: Tear-off

PRINT MODE

Selections: Tear-off, peel-off, cutter, rewind

Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery that you wish

to use. Be sure to select a print mode that your hardware configuration

supports since some selections displayed are for optional printer features.

Setting Media Type Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (-) key to

display other choices.

Default: Continuous

Selections: Continuous, non-continuous

MEDIA TYPE

This parameter tells the printer the type of media you are using. Selecting

continuous media requires that you include a label length instruction in your

label format (^LLxxxx if you are using ZPL or ZPL II).

When non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media to calculate

label length (the distance between two detections of the inter-label gap,

webbing, or alignment notch or hole).

Setting the Sensor Type Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (-) key to

display other choices.

Default: Web

Selections: Web, mark

SENSOR TYPE

This parameter tells the printer whether you are using media with a web

(gap/space between labels, notch, or hole) to indicate the separation between

labels or if you are using media with a black mark printed on the back. If your

media does not have black marks on the back, leave your printer at the default

setting (web).

Setting the Sensor Select Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (-) key

to display other choices.

Default: Auto select

Selections: Auto select, reflective, transmissive

SENSOR SELECT

This parameter tells the printer the sensor you wish to use. “Auto select” is

compatible with most types of media. However, if you encounter difficulties

with calibration, refer to “Types of Media” on page 6 to help you choose the

appropriate sensor for your media. (Select the reflective sensor with either

continuous or non-continuous black mark media: choose the transmissive

sensor if you are using non-continuous web media.)
