4.1.1 Media Settings
MEDIA TYPE
Selects a print method.
DIRECT THERMAL
For use with heat sensitive media.
THERMAL TRANSFER
For use with media requiring a ribbon to
create an image.
SENSOR TYPE
Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing
method for the media.
GAP
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
gaps in the media.
CONTINUOUS
No TOF sensing. The user must use the
LABEL LENGTH setting to determine TOF.
REFLECTIVE
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
reflective (black) marks on the underside of
media.
LABEL LENGTH
04.00in (0-99.99)
For use with continuous media. Label length
is used to determine the TOF when ‘Sensor
Type-Continuous’ is selected.
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH
16.00in (0-99.99)
Sets the maximum length between TOF
marks (gap or black stripe). If this limit is
exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.
SENSOR CALIBRATION ♦
Adjusts the printer to sense your media.
PERFORM CALIBRATION
The user follows steps to allow the printer to
calculate the empty, gap or mark, and paper
values to set the media sensor.
Note: Firmware versions 3.04 and
greater – After successful completion,
these parameters are automatically stored
for future sessions.
ADVANCED ENTRY
The user directly inputs the best values to
adjust the media sensor.
SENSOR LEVELS
Sets threshold values for the media sensor
parameters. Entry for paper, gap/mark, and
empty thresholds.
SENSOR GAIN
Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR
GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor
for custom label stock.
