Auto Media Configuration Workflow
After Auto Media Configuration is started, the printer will feed the paper to detect its characteristics. By default,
the printer uses the continuous feed setting unless:
•
The transmissive/gap sensor detects a die-cut label.
• The reflective/black mark sensor detects marked media.

• If the paper runs out during the Auto Media Configuration, the printer will not detect the media type
successfully and an error will be displayed.
• If the paper width is not aligned correctly, the calibration will not be successful.
• Depending on the paper's shape and material, media detection may not be possible.
• (TD-4210D/TD-4410D)
The recently used paper width is set.
• (TD-4420DN/TD-4520DN)
The paper width is obtained by subtracting 2.0 mm from the left and right from the detected width.
