Selecting Print Mode Press the right or left oval key to display other choices.
Default: Tear-Off Selections: Tear-Off, Peel-Off, Cutter, Rewind, Applicator
Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery that you wish to use. Be sure to
select a print mode that your hardware configuration supports since some selections displayed are
for optional printer features.
M E D I A T Y P E
Setting Media Type Press the right or left 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 you select non-continuous media, the printer feeds media to calculate label length (the dis-
tance between two detections of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
S E N S O R T Y P E
Setting the Sensor Type Press the right or left 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 on the back, leave your printer
at the default (Web).
P R I N T M E T H O D
Selecting Print Method Press the right oval key for the next value; press the left 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 will continue.
