PRINT MODE
Selecting Print Mode
Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery that you wish to use.

selections displayed are for optional printer features.

MEDIA TYPE
Setting Media Type
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).
Default: Non-Continuous
Selections: Non-Continuous, Continuous
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (–) to display other choices.

SENSOR TYPE
Setting the Sensor Type
This parameter tells the printer whether you are using media with a web (gap or space
between labels, notch, or hole) to indicate the separation 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 setting (web).
Default: Web
Selections: Web, mark
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (–) to display other choices.
