Parameter Action/Explanation

PRINT MODE Selecting Print Mode

Print mode settings tell the printer the method of label delivery that you wish to use. Be sure to select a print mode that your hardware configuration supports because some of the selections displayed are for optional printer features.

•Press either oval to display choices. Default: Tear-Off

Selections: Tear-Off, Peel-Off, Cutter, Applicator, Rewind Note • Only Tear-Off mode is supported.

MEDIA TYPE Setting Media Type

This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using. 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).

•Press either oval to display choices. Default: Non-Continuous Selections: Continuous, Non-Continuous

SENSOR TYPE Setting the 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).

•Press either oval to display other choices. Default: Web

Selections: Web, mark

Note • Only Web is supported.

PRINT METHOD Selecting Print Method

The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you wish to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and ribbon).

•Press either oval to display choices. Default: Thermal transfer

Selections: Thermal transfer, direct thermal

Note • Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon creates a printer error condition, but printing continues.
