44 M-Class
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.
