media.type

Type: getvar; setvar
This parameter refers to the media type that the printer is using.
By default, the printer checks for correct media alignment if it encounters
the eye-sense mark (black horizontal bars on back of media) during a print
cycle (Label mode). You can use the Journal command to disable this
automatic correction feature. Your program is responsible for checking and
ensuring the presence of paper when the printer is set to Journal mode.
Please refer to the status inquiry command (Get Extended Printer Status)
for details on checking for out-of-paper condition.
