4.1.2Media Settings
MEDIA TYPE | Selects the printing method. | |
|
|
|
| DIRECT THERMAL | For use with heat sensitive media. |
|
|
|
| THERMAL TRANSFER | For use with media requiring a ribbon to |
|
| create an image. |
|
| |
SENSOR TYPE | Selects the | |
|
| method for the media. |
| GAP | 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, | ||
04.00in | this value is used to determine the TOF. | ||
|
|
|
|
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH | Sets the maximum length between TOF | ||
16.00in | 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 | ||
00.25in | 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. |
