Media Type

The Media Type parameter controls how the label stop sensor (LSS) and the media feed work. There are five media type options, see also Appendix B, “Media Specifications”:

Label (w gaps) is used for adhesive labels mounted on liner.

Ticket (w mark) is used for labels, tickets, or continuous stock provided with black marks at the back.

Ticket (w gaps) is used for tickets and tags with detection slits.

Fix length strip is used for continuous stock where the length of the print window decides the length of media to be fed out.

Var length strip is used for continuous stock. The size of the print images decides the length of each copy.

It is important to select the correct media type, so the printer can communicate the following errors.

Error 1005 “Out of paper” indicates that the last ordered copy could not be printed because of an empty media stock.
