| Media Settings |
| |
|
|
|
| |
MEDIA TYPE | Selects the printing method. | |||
|
|
|
| |
| DIRECT THERMAL | For use with heat sensitive media. | ||
|
|
|
| |
| ²THERMAL TRANSFER | For use with media requiring a ribbon to | ||
|
|
|
| create an image. |
|
|
| ||
SENSOR TYPE | Selects the | |||
|
|
|
| method for the media. |
| ²GAP | The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing | ||
|
|
|
| gaps in the media. |
| CONTINUOUS | No TOF sensing. The LABEL LENGTH | ||
|
|
|
| setting determines the length. |
| REFLECTIVE | The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing | ||
|
|
|
| reflective (black) marks on the media. |
|
|
| ||
LABEL LENGTH | When the Sensor Type is set to Continuous, | |||
²04.00in | this value is used to determine the TOF. | |||
|
|
| ||
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH | Sets the maximum length between TOF | |||
²16.00in | marks (gap or reflective). If this limit is | |||
|
|
|
| exceeded, a top of form fault is declared. |
|
|
| ||
PAPER OUT DISTANCE | Sets the length of travel before an Out of | |||
²00.25in | Stock condition is declared. | |||
|
|
| ||
LABEL WIDTH | Sets the maximum limit for the printable | |||
|
|
|
| surface width. Objects extending beyond this |
|
|
|
| limit will not print; see Appendix C for the |
|
|
|
| default values. |
|
|
| ||
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. |
| ADVANCED ENTRY | The user directly inputs the best values to | ||
|
|
|
| adjust the media sensor. |
|
| SENSOR LEVELS | Sets threshold values for the media sensor | |
|
|
|
| parameters. Manual entry for paper, gap (or |
|
|
|
| mark), and empty thresholds. |
|
| SENSOR GAIN | Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR | |
|
|
|
| GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor for |
|
|
|
| custom label stock. |
