Non-Continuous Media
Non-continuous web media refers to individual labels that are separated by a gap, notch, or
hole (
Figure 11 ). When you look at the media, you can tell where one label ends and the next
one begins.

Non-continuous black mark media has black marks printed on the back, which indicate the
start and end of each label.
Figure 12 shows a sample of non-continuous black mark media.

Continuous Media
Continuous media ( Figure 13 ) 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.
