Types of Media

Non-Continuous Media

Non-continuous web media refers to individual labels that are separated by a gap, notch, or hole (Figure 10). When you look at the media, you can tell where one label ends and the next one begins.

Important • When using media that has holes or notches, position the sensor directly over a hole or notch.

Non-continuous black mark media has black marks printed on the back, which indicate the start and end of each label. Figure 11 shows a sample of non-continuous black mark media.

Continuous Media

Continuous media (Figure 12) is one uninterrupted roll of material without gaps, holes, notches, or black marks. This allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label. The individual labels can be cut apart or stored in a roll for later use.
