Types of Media
The printer can use media that is on rolls or in fan-folded stacks. The difference
between media types is in whether the media is continuous or non-continuous.
We strongly recommend the use of Brady-brand supplies for continuous high-quality
printing. A wide range of paper, polypropylene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been
specifically engineered to enhance the printing capabilities of the printer and to ensure
against premature printhead wear.
Note • Because print quality is affected by media and ribbon, printing speeds, and
printer operating modes, it is very important to run tests for your applications.
Continuous Media
Continuous media is one uninterrupted length of material that allows the image to be
printed anywhere on the label. The individual labels can be cut apart or stored in a roll
for later use.
This illustration shows a sample of continuous media.
Non-Continuous Black Mark Media
Non-continuous black mark media has black marks printed on the back, which
indicate the start and end of each label. This illustration shows a sample of
non-continuous black mark media.
