About Media
The printers can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous stock.
The procedure you use to load media depends on how you are
operating the printer and the options you have installed.
About Linerless Media
If you are printing on linerless media, follow these guidelines for best
results:
• You must install the linerless roller accessory before printing. For
more information on this accessory, contact your local sales
representative.
• When removing printed labels on linerless media, tear the label up
towards the top of the printer to prevent media jams.
• Do not use linerless media with the cutter accessory.
About Tag Media
If you are printing on tag media, follow these guidelines for best
results:
• Install the optional thick media springs before printing. For more
information on this accessory, contact your local sales
representative.
• After you install the thick media springs, adjust the Media
Sensitivity and Darkness settings for best print quality.
• To extend the life of the printhead, Intermec recommends that you
install the original springs when printing on other types of media.
About Tear-Off Printing
In tear-off printing, you manually tear printed labels, tickets,
wristbands, and other printed media from the front of the printer.
After you load media, you need to configure the feed adjust settings.
These settings allow for printing from the top edge of the label. You
may need to adjust the recommended values slightly depending on
your media type, supply method, and roll sizes, or because of
individual differences between printers.
