Media Tips and Tricks

Labels are available in a large variety of types and sizes. Some label

characteristics must be taken into account when programming the

printer.

Media characteristics that can affect printer programming and printer

performance are:

Label/tag size and shape Relates to the WIDTH, VARIABLE WIDTH

and VARIABLE SHIFT LEFT commands.

Adhesive type Can affect printer peelback performance.

Print method Relates to the VARIABLE PRINT_MODE

command.

Cut type Relates to the VARIABLE FEED_TYPE,

VARIABLE NO_MEDIA, INDEX, and

NOINDEX commands.

Media sensitivity Relates to the VARIABLE DARKNESS and

VARIABLE MEDIA_ADJUST commands.

Label/tag Size and Shape

Label and tag stock is available in an almost infinite variety of sizes and

shapes. If an existing style does not fit your requirement, custom stock

can usually be created. Your application will determine the design. The

only absolute limitation on label size is the printer's maximum print

width.

When printing on media that is narrower than the printer's maximum

print width, you may have to adjust the width and print position with

the WIDTH or VARIABLE WIDTH commands or the VARIABLE SHIFT

LEFT command.
