Action/Explanation

 

Selecting Print Mode: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to

 

display other choices.

 

Default: Tear-off

PRINT MODE

Selections: Tear-off, cutter, peel-off, liner take-up, rewind

 

Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery that you wish to

 

use. Be sure to select a print mode that your hardware configuration supports as

 

some selections displayed are for optional printer features.

 

 

 

Setting Media Type: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to

 

display other choices.

 

Default: Continuous

 

Selections: Continuous, non-continuous

MEDIA TYPE

This parameter tells the printer the type of media 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 detections of the inter-label gap, webbing, or

 

alignment notch or hole).

 

 

 

Setting the Sensor Type: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to

 

display other choices.

 

Default: Web

 

Selections: Web, mark

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 separation between labels or if you

 

are using media with a black mark printed on the back. If your media does not have

 

black marks on the back, leave your printer at the default setting (web).

 

 

 

Setting the Sensor Select: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to

 

display other choices.

 

Default: Auto select

 

Selections: Auto select, reflective, transmissive

SENSOR SELECT

This parameter tells the printer the sensor you wish to use. “Auto select” is

 

compatible with most types of media. However, if you encounter difficulties with

 

calibration, refer to “Types of Media” on page 6 to help you choose the appropriate

 

sensor for your media. (Select the reflective sensor with either continuous or non-

 

continuous black mark media; choose the transmissive sensor if you are using non-

 

continuous web media.)
