Printer Operation, Media Feed Mode | Toshiba B-SX600 guide

7. PRINTER OPERATION

7.1 Media Feed Mode

The following 3 media feed modes are available in the printer:

•Fixed Length feed mode

Printing is performed while gaps, black marks, or notches are being ignored.

When using a media stock with no gaps, black marks, or notches, the printer must be placed in Fixed Length feed mode.

•Strict feed mode

Printing is performed while gaps or black marks of the media are being detected.

Strict feed mode should be selected when using a media stock with gaps, black marks, or notches and it is required to check a missing label, media length, or sensor level strictly.

•Easy feed mode

Printing is performed while gaps or black marks of the media are being detected.

Easy feed mode should be selected when using a media stock with gaps, black marks, or notches, and it is required to continue printing even if the actual media size is slightly different from the media size entered in the printer driver, or even if a label is missing.

■Fixed Length feed mode

In Fixed Length feed mode, the actual size of the media loaded in the printer is ignored. Instead, the media is fed in accordance with the media pitch specified in the printer driver. Printing can be performed on media stocks with no gaps, black marks, or notches, because they are not used at all to identify the start or the end of a page.
