Media:

 

Type:

Roll-fed, die-cut continuous or fan-fold labels,

 

tags or tickets; most direct thermal or thermal

 

transfer materials.

Supply Roll:

8 in. (203 mm) maximum diameter on 3” (76

 

mm) diameter cores.

 

7 in. (178 mm) maximum diameter on 1" (25

 

mm) diameter cores.

Internal Rewinder:

Accepts a 5 inch diameter roll of labels or label

 

backing.

Label Material:

Thermal transfer plain-coated papers, vinyl,

 

Mylar®, metallized paper, non-woven fabric, fine

 

woven fabric, thermal-visible light scannable

 

paper, infrared scannable paper, thermal ticket/

 

tag stock, thermally sensitive plastic stock.

Thermal Transfer

Standard Widths are:

Ribbons:

1.00” (25mm)

 

1.57” (40mm)

 

2.36” (60mm)

 

3.15” (80mm)

 

4.33” (110mm)

Media Sensing:

Moveable “see-through” for die-cut labels and

 

reflective for tags with black striping.

 

The T4204 printer uses a movable sensor to

 

detect index holes/notches or the black stripe in

 

tag stock. The Transmissive sensor position is

 

indicated by the sensor crystal at the front of the

 

label guide that is visible with the printhead

 

open. The Reflective sensor position is located

 

under the R2, far right side resistor, also visible

 

with the printhead open. The sensor can be

 

moved by squeezing the two locking tabs,

 

located under the label guide, and sliding the

 

sensor assembly in or out. For proper sensing,

 

ensure that the sensor is aligned with the center

 

portion of the index hole/notch or black stripe.

Label Taken Sensor:

Detects when a printed label is at the printer exit

 

throat.

Automatic Label

Peels and presents label to the operator, one at

Peel-Off:

a time.
