Display Shows Action/Explanation
PRINT MODE
Selecting Print Mode: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to
display other choices.
Default: Tear-off
Selections: Tear-off, cutter, peel-off, liner take-up, rewind
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 as
some selections displayed are for optional printer features.
MEDIA TYPE
Setting Media Type: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) 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 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 INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) 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 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).
SENSOR SELECT
Setting the Sensor Select: Press the INCREMENT (+) or DECREMENT (–) key to
display other choices.
Default: Auto select
Selections: Auto select, reflective, transmissive
This parameter tells the printer the sensor you wish to use. “Auto select” is
compatible with most types of media. However, if you encounter difficulties with
calibration, refer to “Types of Media” on page 6 to help you choose the appropriate
sensor for your media. (Select the reflective sensor with either continuous or non-
continuous black mark media; choose the transmissive sensor if you are using non-
continuous web media.)
