Media Type

The Media Type parameters control how the label stop sensor
(LSS) and the media feed work. There are three media type
options:
• Gap is used for adhesive labels mounted on liner (backing
paper) or continuous paper stock with detection slots. This is
the default.
• Mark is used for labels, tickets, or strip provided with black
marks at the back.
• Continuous is used for continuous stock without any
detection slots or black marks.

Paper Type

The Paper Type parameters control how the transfer ribbon
mechanism and the ribbon sensor work. There are two paper
type options:
• DT (Direct Thermal) is used for heat-sensitive media without
any need for a thermal transfer ribbon. This is the default.
• TTR (Thermal Transfer) is used for non heat-sensitive
receiving face materials in combination with a thermal
transfer ribbon.

Label Length Dots

The Label Length setup specifies the length in dots of each copy
along the media feed direction (X-coordinate). This is used for
"label-out" detection. A selection of values is presented as a loop.
Select the value that is closest to the actual length. Default is
1200 dots.

Sensitivity (Media Sensitivity Number)

This setup parameter specifies the characteristics of the direct
thermal media or combination of receiving face material and
thermal transfer ribbon, so the printer's firmware can optimize
the heating of the printhead and the print speed. The media
sensitivity number can be changed using PrintSet, third-party
software, or an IPL command (<SI>gn[,m]). See Appendix D,
"Media Sensitivity Number" on page 121
regarding the media sensitivity number.
