Punches/reflex
markings
In general, one distinguishes between converted and unconverted material.
•
The start of each label is usually marked on converted material. With self-
adhesive labels, this can be a gap [1A] between the labels or, with card-
board labels, a small punch [1B] on the edge. If the printer is equipped with
the optional reflex sensor, it will be able to detect reflex markings [1C] on
the rolls.
•
Unconverted material is referred to as “continuous form material” and does
not have any label markings. The length of the label is determined through
the length setting in the Parameter menu.
