Set Media Type
This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see
for more information). 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).
Default: NON-CONTINUOUS
Selections: CONTINUOUS, NON-CONTINUOUS
To change the value shown:
1.
Press
PLUS (+)
or
MINUS (-)

Set the Sensor Type
Note •
The black mark sensor is a purchasable option.
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).
Default: WEB
Selections: WEB, MARK
To change the value shown:

MINUS (-)

Select Print Method
The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you
wish to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal
transfer media and ribbon).
Default: THERMAL TRANSFER
Selections: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL
Note •
Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media
and ribbon creates an error condition, but printing continues.
