3.4.1 Selecting Media Type
To accommodate a variety of media types the printer is equipped with two sensors. A transmissive sensor
(for gap and notch type label media) and a reflective sensor (for “black mark” type label media). Several media types and their proper sensor settings are shown below:

1) Click on the ‘Media Label
Settings’ printer component.
