5.1.2 Media Settings

MEDIA TYPE

Selects the printing method.

DIRECT THERMAL

For use with heat sensitive media.

THERMAL TRANSFER

For use with media requiring a ribbon to create an image.

SENSOR TYPE

Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing method for the media.

GAP

The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing gaps in the media.

CONTINUOUS

No TOF sensing. The LABEL LENGTH setting determines the length.

REFLECTIVE

The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing reflective (black) marks on the media.

LABEL LENGTH

04.00in (0-99.99)

When the Sensor Type is set to Continuous, this value is used to determine the TOF.

MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH

16.00in (0-99.99)

Sets the maximum length between TOF marks (gap or reflective). If this limit is
exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.

PAPER OUT DISTANCE

00.25in (0-99.99)

Sets the length of travel before an out of stock condition is declared.

LABEL WIDTH

203DPI >

04.26in (.75-4.26)

300DPI >

04.16in (.75-4.16)

Sets the maximum limit for the printable width. Objects extending beyond this limit
will be clipped off and not printed.

RIBBON LOW DIAMETER

♦

1.38 in (1.00-2.00)

Sets the threshold for a low ribbon indication.

SENSOR CALIBRATION

♦

Adjusts the printer to sense your media.

PERFORM CALIBRATION

The user follows steps to allow the printer to calculate the empty, gap (or mark), and

paper values to set the media sensor.

ADVANCED ENTRY

The user directly inputs the best values to adjust the media sensor.

SENSOR LEVELS

Sets threshold values for the media sensor parameters. Manual entry for paper, gap
(or mark), and empty thresholds.

SENSOR GAIN

Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor
for custom label stock.
