Press Display Shows Action/Explanation
MEDIA TYPE
Setting Media Type: Press the (+) or (–) key to display other
choices.
Default: Non-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 non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media
to calculate label length (the distance between two detections of
the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
SENSOR TYPE
Setting the Sensor Type: Press the (+) or (–) 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).
PRINT METHOD
Selecting Print Method: Press the (+) key for the next value;
press the (–) 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 continues.
