Set Media Type
This parameter tells the printer the type of media that you are using (see
Types of Media on page 54 for more information). Selecting continuous
media requires that you include a label length instruction in your label
format (
^LLxxxx if you are using ZPL or ZPL II).
When non-continuous media is selected, the printer feeds media to
calculate label length (the distance between two recognized registration
points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
Default Value: GAP/NOTCH
Selections: GAP/NOTCH, MARK, CONTINUOUS
To change the value shown:
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press
PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) to toggle between the options.
3. Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
Select Print Method
The print method parameter tells the printer the method of printing that you
want to use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal
transfer media and ribbon).
Default Value: THERMAL TRANSFER
Range: THERMAL TRANSFER, DIRECT THERMAL
To change the value shown:
1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
2. Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) to toggle between the options.
3. Press
SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
