Types of Thermal Media
Media Type How It Looks Description
Non-Continuous
Roll Media
Roll media is wound on a core that can be 0.5 to 1.5 in. (12.7
to 38.1 mm) in diameter. Labels have adhesive backing
that sticks them to a liner, and they are separated by gaps,
holes, notches, or black marks. Tags are separated by
perforations. 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
backside 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.
• 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.
Non-Continuous
Fanfold Media
Fanfold media is folded in a zigzag pattern. Fanfold media
can have the same label separations as non-continuous roll
media. The separations would fall on or near the folds.
