Chapter 6 Setting Up the Printer
Media Type
The Media Type setup controls how the LSS and the paper feed
work. There are fi ve different media types:
• Label (w gaps) is used for adhesive labels mounted on
backing paper.
• Ticket (w mark) is used for labels, tickets, or strip provided with
black marks at the back of the paper web.
• Ticket (w gaps) is used for tickets and tags with detection slits.
• Fix length strip means that the length of the print window
decides the length of strip to be fed out.
• Var length strip adds 115 dots of paper feed after the last
printable dot (may even be a blank space character or a “white
dot” in an image or character cell) to allow the strip to be
properly torn off.
It is important to select the type, so the printer can indicate possible
paper errors. Two different error conditions may occur:
• Error 1005 “Out of paper” indicates that the last ordered copy
could not be printed because of an empty paper stock.
• Error 1031 “Next label not found” indicates that the last ordered
label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more labels/tickets
can be printed because of an empty paper stock.
Paper Type
The Paper Type setup controls the heat emitted from the printhead
to the direct thermal paper in order to produce the dots that make up
the printout image. Two parameters must be set:
• Label Constant (range 50 – 115)
• Label Factor (range 10– 50)
See the list on next page for recommended settings for various types
of standard Intermec direct thermal media.
