4.1.2 Media Settings
MEDIA TYPE
Selects the printing method.
DIRECT THERMAL
For use with heat sensitive media.
² THERMAL TRANSFER
For use with media requiring a ribbon to
create an image.
SENSOR TYPE
Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing
method for the media.
² GAP
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
gaps in the media.
CONTINUOUS
No TOF sensing. The LABEL LENGTH
setting determines the length.
REFLECTIVE
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
reflective (black) marks on the media.
LABEL LENGTH
²
04.00in (0-99.99)
When the Sensor Type is set to Continuous,
this value is used to determine the TOF.
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH
²
16.00in (0-99.99)
Sets the maximum length between TOF
marks (gap or reflective). If this limit is
exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.
PAPER OUT DISTANCE
²
00.25in (0-99.99)
Sets the length of travel before an Out of
Stock condition is declared.
LABEL WIDTH
Sets the maximum limit for the printable
surface width. Objects extending beyond this
limit will not print; see Appendix C for the
default values.
SENSOR CALIBRATION ♦
Adjusts the printer to sense your media.
PERFORM CALIBRATION
The user follows steps to allow the printer to
calculate the empty, gap (or mark), and
paper values to set the media sensor.
ADVANCED ENTRY
The user directly inputs the best values to
adjust the media sensor.
SENSOR LEVELS
Sets threshold values for the media sensor
parameters. Manual entry for paper, gap (or
mark), and empty thresholds.
SENSOR GAIN
Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR
GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor for
custom label stock.
