Not all media is the same when it comes to being compatible with your application or needs. Printing speed , durability of the image/media, environment are just a few factors to consider when determining the printer setup for the application. Trying to compensate for poor media compatibility by using high darkness settings can impact your printer’s printhead life. It is possible to receive poor quality print due to a mismatch of ribbon and media (certain ribbon matches certain media better than other media), but adjusting settings and checking all other variables is recommended before that conclusion is reached.

2. Understanding the Media Sensors
The printer comes with sensors for label tracking based on the Media Type used. There is both a reflective and transmissive built into the printer and both are located within the same assembly (reflective is used for media with a black mark separator and transmissive is used for media with a gap or hole/notch as the separator). Either positioning of this module or drivers/utilities/software can be used to set the sensor properly for the media installed. The sensor you will use requires configuration of the Tracking Mode (Mark/Web/Continuous) setting to be properly set in order to function with the media you are using. A gap/hole or black mark must pass over the media sensor's position for the printer to properly detect and calibrate to the installed media.

3. Calibrate the printer for the media.
The printer does not measure the label length unless the default Power Up or Head Close values are altered to either Length or Calibrate. There are two calibration methods to consider if the labels fail to calibrate properly.

If this fails perform the Manual Calibration Procedure Read More>> See Video>>
If the printer is properly calibrated, it should feed one label properly each time the feed button is pressed.

Print Quality
Print quality is a product of proper printer setup and use of compatible media for the application. The three impacting factors to consider are:
The printer is capable of printing at multiple print speeds. The speed selection takes the media compatibility into consideration and works in tandem with your darkness setting (lower print speeds typically require lower darkness settings and vice versa). If your application requires the highest print speeds available be sure your media supplier has recommended the correct media for your application.
