Calibrating supply must be done on the initial printer setup, any time the printer has been 
reset, or whenever the supply type is changed (from die cut to black mark for example) or 
from tags to labels.  The printer automatically calibrates when you set the  printer’s supply 
type.   The supply type must match the loaded supplies.  Supply types include: 

Gap 

Use for die cut supply. The supply has a rounded edge. The supply is 
sensed using the gap between labels. 

Black Mark 

Use for black mark supply. Black mark supply has marks on the back 
of supply for sensing. The supply is sensed using the black marks.  
Tag supply commonly uses black marks. 

Continuous 

Use for non-indexed (no sense mark) supplies. Continuous supply 
does not have any index marks for sensing or perforations.
