Reflective Mark Label Media

Media Setup – Windows Printer Driver:

Driver setup is required for any software application that uses the Windows Printer Driver. This setup only provides the printer with dynamic settings that are lost when power is removed.

1

Printer driver setup

Printing Preferences from the General tab on the driver provides

 

 

the proper controls to setup for the desired label media. From

 

 

there, the Page Setup tab must be selected to specify the label

 

 

size, width and length. The Stock tab is where the label type is

 

 

controlled. Media Control, Label Sensor, provides appropriate

 

 

selections for the label type in use. Select Label Sensor 'Label

 

 

Mark' for reflective label media.

2

Load labels

Loading reflective label media will, depending on its reflectance

 

 

levels, may result in a Top of Form fault. This is normal; printer

 

 

drivers do not configure the printer until a label is sent to be printed.

3

Create label format

Using any Windows application, create a label format. Ensure that

 

 

the page size selected in the application software is the same as

 

 

that configured in the printer driver.

4

Print the label

The printer will continue to flash the Status Light indicating a fault.

5

Press the Control

This will clear the fault, feeding the selected label length, and then

 

Button

print the label.

On subsequent printer power-ups, if the media has not been removed, simply print the label as outlined in steps 3 and 4.

Note: To configure the printers "power-up" settings use the Printer Configuration Utility (DMXConfig) included on the Accessories CD-ROM. Using this method will result in less label waste when loading continuous label media
