• Fix length strip is used for continuous stock where the length
of the print window decides the length of media to be fed out.
• Var length strip is used for continuous stock. The size of the
print images decides the length of each copy.
When you select the correct media type, the printer can indicate
the following errors:
• Error 1005 "Out of paper" indicates that the last ordered copy
could not be printed because of an empty media stock.
• Error 1031 "Next label not found" indicates that the last
ordered label or ticket was successfully printed, but no more
labels/tickets can be printed because of an empty media stock.

Paper Type

Specifies the printing mode:
• Thermal Transfer printing (default)
• Direct Thermal printing
This parameter controls the heat emitted from the printhead to
the ribbon or direct thermal media in order to produce the dots
that make up the print image.
For more information on thermal transfer printing, see
Transfer Printing Settings" on page 73.
For more information on direct thermal printing, see
Thermal Print Settings" on page 74.

Contrast

Choose a contrast level for printing. Range is -10% to +10% in
10% intervals. Default is 0. Use this setting to make minor
adjustments of the blackness in the printout (for example, to
adapt the printer to variations in quality between different
batches of the same media). Contrast is reset to 0 whenever a new
paper type is specified.

Testfeed Mode

Sets the Testfeed mode to either fast or slow. Choose slow if you
are using media with preprinted lines.
