3.4.1 Selecting Media Type
To accommodate a variety of media types the printer is equipped with two sensors. A transmissive sensor
(for gap and notch type label media) and a reflective sensor (for “black mark” type label media). Several
media types and their proper sensor settings are shown below:
Media

Gap Label Media
Notch Media
(Edge)

*Requires the
“Continuous Label
Length” value to be set.
Most applications that use label media will use the default setting of “Gap”. However if “black mark” or
continuous media is being used this setting must be changed.
The Sensor Type setting can be changed using the NETira CT configuration utility…
Launch the NETira CT configuration utility, and query (connect) to the printer.
1) Click on the ‘Media Label
Settings’ printer component.
2) To change the different
parameters, select from the
pull down values or key in a
value.
