MEDIA TYPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see

 

-NON-CONTINUOUS +

 

 

Types of Media on page 25 for more information). 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).

 

 

 

 

Default: NON-CONTINUOUS

 

 

 

 

Selections: CONTINUOUS, NON-CONTINUOUS

 

 

 

 

To change the value shown:

-WEB

+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

 

 

Default: WEB

 

 

 

 

Selections: WEB, MARK

 

 

 

 

To change the value shown:

-THERMAL-TRANS. +

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

transfer media and ribbon).

 

 

 

 

Default: THERMAL TRANSFER

 

 

 

 

Selections: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL

 

 

 

 

Note • Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media

 

 

 

 

and ribbon creates an error condition, but printing continues.
