4.1.1 Media Settings
MEDIA TYPE Selects a print method.
DIRECT THERMAL For use with heat sensitive media.
—
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.
GAP The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
gaps in the media.
—
CONTINUOUS No TOF sensing. The user must use the
LABEL LENGTH setting to determine TOF.
REFLECTIVE The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
reflective (black) marks on the underside of
media.
LABEL LENGTH
— —
04.00in (0-99.99)
For use with continuous media. Label length
is used to determine the TOF when ‘Sensor
Type-Continuous’ is selected.
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH
—
16.00in (0-99.99)
Sets the maximum length between TOF
marks (gap or black stripe). If this limit is
exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.
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.
; ;
Note: Firmware versions 3.04 and
greater – After successful completion,
these parameters are automatically stored
for future sessions.
ADVANCED ENTRY The user directly inputs the best values to
adjust the media sensor.
SENSOR LEVELS Sets threshold values for the media sensor
parameters. Entry for paper, gap/mark, and
empty thresholds.
SENSOR GAIN Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR
GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor
for custom label stock.
