Operation
Selecting Print Mode Press the right or left oval key to display other choices.
Default: Tear-Off Selections: Tear-Off, Peel-Off, Cutter, Rewind, Applicator
Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery that you wish to use. Be sure to
select a print mode that your hardware configuration supports since some selections displayed are
for optional printer features.
Setting Media Type Press the right or left oval key to display other choices.
Default: Continuous Selections: Continuous, Non-continuous
This parameter tells the printer the type of media you are using. 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 you select non-continuous media, the printer feeds media to calculate label length (the dis-
tance between two detections of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
Setting the Sensor Type Press the right or left oval key to display other choices.
Default: Web Selections: Web, Mark
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 on the back, leave your printer
at the default (Web).
Selecting Print Method Press the right oval key for the next value; press the left oval key for the
previous value.
Default: Thermal Transfer Selections: Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal
The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing you wish to use: direct thermal
(no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and ribbon).
Note: Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon creates a warning
condition, but printing will continue.
