MEDIA

TYPE

Setting 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).

 

 

Default: Non-Continuous

 

 

Selections: Non-Continuous, Continuous

Press SELECT to select the parameter.

 

 

2.

Press PLUS (+) or MINUS () to display other choices.

 

 

3.

Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.

 

 

SENSOR TYPE

Setting the Sensor Type

 

 

This parameter tells the printer whether you are using media with a web (gap or 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).

 

 

Default: Web

 

 

Selections: Web, mark

 

 

1.

Press SELECT to select the parameter.

 

 

2.

Press PLUS (+) or MINUS () to display other choices.
