Press Display Shows Action/Explanation
MEDIA TYPE
Setting Media Type: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL
key to display other choices.
Default: Continuous
Selections: Continuous, non-continuous
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 recognized
registration points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment
notch or hole).
SENSOR TYPE
Setting the Sensor Type: Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK
OVAL key to display other choices.
Default: Web
Selections: Web, mark
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).
PRINT METHOD
Selecting Print Method: Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key for
the next value; press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key for the previous
value.
Default: Thermal transfer
Selections: Thermal transfer, direct thermal
The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing
you wish to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer
(using thermal transfer media and ribbon).
NOTE: Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer
media and ribbon creates a warning condition, but
printing continues.
