Selects the printing method.
For use with heat sensitive media.
For use with media requiring a ribbon to
create an image.
Selects the top-of-form (TOF) sensing
method for the media.
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
gaps in the media.
No TOF sensing. The LABEL LENGTH
setting determines the length.
The printer recognizes the TOF by sensing
reflective (black) marks on the media.
When the Sensor Type is set to Continuous,
this value is used to determine the TOF.
Sets the maximum length between TOF
marks (gap or reflective).
exceeded, a top of form fault is declared.
Sets the length of travel before an Out of
Stock condition is declared.
Sets the maximum limit for the printable
surface width. Objects extending beyond this
limit will not print; see Appendix C for the
default values.
Adjusts the printer to sense your media.
The user follows steps to allow the printer to
calculate the empty, gap (or mark), and
paper values to set the media sensor.
The user directly inputs the best values to
adjust the media sensor.
Sets threshold values for the media sensor
parameters. Manual entry for paper, gap (or
mark), and empty thresholds.
Observe A/D reading and set SENSOR
GAIN. Adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor for
custom label stock.
