key to display other choices.

MEDIA TYPE

Selecting continuous media requires that you include a label

 

 

length instruction in your label format (^LLxxxx if you are using

 

 

ZPL or ZPL II).

 

 

When non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media

 

 

to calculate label length (the distance between two recognized

 

 

registration points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment

 

 

notch or hole).

SENSOR TYPE

This parameter tells the printer whether you are using media with

 

 

a web (gap/space between labels, notch, or hole) to indicate the

 

 

separations between labels or if you are using media with a black

 

 

mark printed on the back. If your media does not have black

 

 

marks for registration on the back, leave your printer at the default

 

 

(web).

 

 

 

 

 

Selecting Print Method: Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key for

 

 

the next value; press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key for the previous

 

 

value.

PRINT METHOD

The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing

 

 

you wish to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer

 

 

(using thermal transfer media and ribbon).

 

 

NOTE: Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer

 

 

media and ribbon creates a warning condition, but

 

 

printing continues.
