Set Media Type
This parameter tells the print engine the type of media that you are using.
Selecting continuous media requires that you include a label length
instruction in your label format (
^LLxxxx if you are using ZPL or
ZPL II).
When non-continuous media is selected, the print engine feeds media to
calculate label length (the distance between two recognized registration
points of the inter-label gap, webbing, or alignment notch or hole).
• Press either oval to display other choices.
Default: NON-CONTINUOUS
Selections: CONTINUOUS, NON-CONTINUOUS
