Media > Speed - Printronix T8000 Administrator's Manual


The printer starts to print one label and then another all on the same physical label, especially at the
end of a roll where the media is severely curled.

An occasional blank label appears within a print job (in between printed labels).
When Clip Page is "Disable", the printer ignores any pre-printed dark marks or multiple gaps on a label that
could mistakenly be detected as the next top-of-form position based on the specified Media > Image >
Label Length value.
IMPORTANT
When Clip Page is "Disable", the correct Media > Image > Label Length value
must be entered. If the value is too long, the printer will ignore the actual gap
or mark it needs to detect.

When using Gap sensing, the Label Length value is equal to the physical length of a die cut or remov-
able label.

When using Mark sensing, the Label Length value is the physical distance from the leading edge of
one black mark to the leading edge of the next black mark.
When the Logical Label Length is greater than the Physical Label Length and Clip Page is "Disable", the
printer will continue to print the image onto the next physical label and ignore the gap or mark based on the
Media > Image > Label Length value.
When the Logical Label Length is less than the Physical Label Length, the printer will print the entire image
and leave blank space the remaining length of the physical label as it advances to the Top-of-Form of the
next label. This is true regardless of the Media > Image > Clip Page setting.
