Media Tips and Tricks
Labels are available in a large variety of types and sizes. Some label
characteristics must be taken into account when programming the
printer.
Media characteristics that can affect printer programming and printer
performance are:
Label/tag size and shape Relates to the
WIDTH
,
VARIABLE WIDTH
and
VARIABLE SHIFT LEFT
commands.
Adhesive type Can affect printer peelback performance.
Print method Relates to the
VARIABLE PRINT_MODE
command.
Cut type Relates to the
VARIABLE FEED_TYPE
,
VARIABLE NO_MEDIA
,
INDEX
, and
NOINDEX
commands.
Media sensitivity Relates to the
VARIABLE DARKNESS
and
VARIABLE MEDIA_ADJUST
commands.
Label/tag Size and Shape
Label and tag stock is available in an almost infinite variety of sizes
and shapes. If an existing style does not fit your requirement, custom
stock can usually be created. Your application will determine the
design. The only absolute limitation on label size is the printer's
maximum print width.
When printing on media that is narrower than the printer's maximum
print width, you may have to adjust the width and print position with
the
WIDTH
or
VARIABLE WIDTH
commands or the
VARIABLE SHIFT
LEFT
command.
