MEDIA CONTROL
Units
This item selects either millimeters or inches as the unit of measure.
The options are In Inches (the factory default) and In Millimeters.
Set Label Length
This feature selects whether the Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto
or Manual Calibrate will be used to set the Label Length value in the MEDIA
CONTROL menu (and the QUICK SETUP menu).
•
Manual: The Sensed Distance value derived from an Auto or Manual
Calibrate will not override or change the Label Length value.
•
Automatic: When an Auto or Manual Calibrate is performed, the Sensed
Distance value derived from either calibrate will override and change the
Label Length value. If no Auto or Manual Calibrate is performed, the
current Label Length value will be used.
The factory default is Manual.
NOTE: When Set Label Length = Automatic and Gap/Mark Sensor = Gap,
Cutter Type
•
Heavy Duty. Heavy duty cutter timing, cut position, and fault messages
are used.
•
Standard. Standard-duty cutter timing and cut position are used.
The factory default is Heavy Duty.
Peel-Off Mode
When Peel-Off Media Handling mode (see page 120) is enabled, this feature
allows selection of two different media motions for automatic label peel-off.
•
Fast. Reverse and forward media motion distance in Peel-Off mode is
reduced, providing faster throughput. Primarily used for label lengths less
than 2 inches long.
•
Standard. Provides standard reverse and forward media motion distance
in Peel-Off mode to ensure sufficient rewinder tension.
The factory default is Fast.

Advanced Gap, or Advanced Notch, the printer will subtract the

Distance value obtained when the Auto or Manual Calibrate was
performed.
