Set Media Type

This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see 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 Value: GAP/NOTCH

Selections: GAP/NOTCH, MARK, CONTINUOUS

To change the value shown:

1.Press SELECT to select the parameter.

2.Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (-)to toggle between the options.

3.Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.

Select Print Method

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

Default Value: THERMAL TRANSFER

Range: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL

To change the value shown:

1.Press SELECT to select the parameter.

2.Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (-)to toggle between the options.

3.Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
