Setting the Media
Media Sizes
The position of label and tag media is sensed by either a transparent sensor
or a reflective sensor.
Transparent sensor: Detects the gaps between label media and notches of
tag media
Reflective sensor: Detects the black mark
* Use a transparent sensor for label media gaps and media with black marks.
* Use a transparent sensor for fan fold media.
* If the label pitch is 1 inch or less, set the Small Media Adjustment menu to ON and
match it to the label that uses the value of the Small Media Length menu.
