Displayed Menu Item Details
MEDIA TYPE Selects the printing method.
DIRECT THERMAL
Sets the printer to use heat sensitive media.
THERMAL TRANSFER
Sets the printer to use media requiring a ribbon to create an image.
SENSOR TYPE Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing method for the media.
GAP
TOF will be recognized by the gaps (die-cut) or notches in the
media.
CONTINUOUS
No TOF sensing will be used. The Label Length setting will
determine the TOF. (See the LABEL LENGTH setting, below.)
REFLECTIVE
TOF will be recognized by the reflective (black) marks on the
underside of the media.
LABEL LENGTH
04.00in (0-99.99)
This value will determine the length of the label when the Sensor
Type is set to CONTINUOUS .
MAXIMUM LABEL LENGTH
16.00in (0-99.99)
Sets the maximum length allowable between TOF marks (when the
Sensor Type is set to GAP or REFLECTIVE). If this limit is
exceeded, a TOF Fault is declared.
PAPER OUT DISTANCE
00.25in (0-99.99)
Sets the length of media travel before an Out Of Stock Fault is
declared.
LABEL WIDTH Sets the maximum distance for the printable width. Objects
extending beyond this limit will NOT print; see Appendix C for the
default values.
RIBBON LOW DIAMETER
1.40 in (1.00-2.00)
Sets the threshold for a low ribbon indication.
SENSOR CALIBRATION ♦
Adjusts the printer to sense the media inserted in the Media Sensor.
PERFORM CALIBRATION
Steps the user through a procedure to calculate the empty, gap (or
mark), and paper values for the media sensor.
ADVANCED ENTRY
Allows direct inputs of the empty, gap (or mark), and paper values
for the media sensor.
SENSOR LEVELS
Sets threshold values for the media sensor parameters via manual
entry.
SENSOR GAIN
Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor for custom label stock via
manual entry.
