Settings for the material type

automatically by the printer driver. For your first test prints, you need to

 

configure them manually.

punches/perforations, breaks or reflex marks that could be recognized by the

 

punch (die cut) sensor:

 

Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to endless.

 

y The label material contains punches/perforations, breaks or reflex marks that

 

can be recognized by the punch sensor (so-called “punched” material):

 

Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Type to “Punched.”

Material length

Set the PRINT PARAMETER > Material Length to the length of the material (in mm).
