Sensing Different Media Types
The printer’s media sensors can detect the different types of label length

the type of label length indicators on the installed media displays:
Disable. Select when using media with no label length indicators (no

marks) or when you want the printer to
ignore all existing label length indicators on the installed media.
Mark. Select when using media that has horizontal black marks
located on the underside of the label
liner or tag stock or when using media with notches or holes as label length
indicators.
Gap. Select when using media with a liner space between die-cut
labels or has horizontal black marks
located on the topside of the label.
NOTE: When you select Disable, the length of each label is based on the

sent via host software.
