Table 5 • Roll and Fanfold Media
Media Type How It Looks Description
Non-Continuous
Roll Media
Roll media is wound on a 3-in. (76-mm) core. Individual
labels are separated by one or more of the following methods:
• Web media separates labels by gaps, holes, or notches.
• Black mark media uses pre-printed black marks on the back
side of the media to indicate label separations.
• Perforated media has perforations that allow the labels or
tags to be separated from each other easily. The media may
also have black marks or other separations between labels
or tags.
Continuous
Roll Media
Roll media is wound on a 3-in. (76-mm) core.
Continuous roll media does not have gaps, holes, notches, or
black marks to indicate label separations. This allows the
image to be printed anywhere on the label. Sometimes a cutter
is used to cut apart individual labels.
