PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide 49
Receipt roll stock media is supplied as a continuous roll. Label,
tag, and fanfold media use repeat indicators for non-continuous
media. Gap, notch, and black marks are used as repeat indicators:
• Gap: Label and fanfold media
• Notch: Tag media
• Black mark: Label, tag, and fanfold media
Here are a few things to keep in mind when ordering media for
the PB50 printer:
• Black marks can be sensed on either side of the media.
• You can use higher caliper media in the printer, but print
quality will be reduced.
• Receipt roll stock media has an end of roll indicator. The end
of roll indicator is a red marking (on last 3 feet of roll) on the
thermally sensitive side of the paper.
Specialty media is required for unique customer environments,
including printer operating temperature extremes. Intermec
recommends that you test the media in your application.
Supported Media
The PB50 printer supports direct thermal label, tag, and receipt
media. Both North American and European label media are
supported in multiple label lengths. Receipt media is supported
in both a top coated and an uncoated paper in continuous roll
stock only.
The default media sensitivity number is: 180.
