Types of Media

The printer can use various types of media (Table 4). We strongly recommend the use of Zebra-brand supplies for continuous high-quality printing. A wide range of paper, polypropylene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been specifically engineered to enhance the printing capabilities of the printer and to ensure against premature printhead wear.

are separated by a gap, black mark, notch, or

 

 

hole, which enables you to see where one label

 

 

ends and the next one begins. When using media

 

 

that has holes or notches, position the media

 

 

sensor directly over a hole or notch. Figure 9

 

 

shows different types of non-continuous media.
