Label and Media
| Label | |
|---|---|
| Width | Pre die-cut: 13 mm (0.5″) to 127 mm (5″) Digital die-cut: 13 mm (0.5″) to 104 mm (4.1″) |
| Length | 13 mm (0.5″) to 305 mm (12″) |
| Gap between labels | 2.5 mm (0.1″) to 254 mm (10″) |
| Gap Sensor Adjustment Range | From right edge: 10 mm (0.4″) to 52 mm (2.05″) |
| Media | |
|---|---|
| Width | Pre die-cut: 54 mm (2.125″) to 133 mm (5.25″) Digital die-cut: 120 mm (4.72″) |
| Thickness (Liner + Label)* | Max. 254 μm (0.254 mm) / 10 mil (0.010″) |

| Feed | External |
| Distance from edge of media to edge of label | Printer driver assumes 2 mm gap. However, this is adjustable via the left margin offset. |
| Width of through-hole | 6 mm (0.25″) to 13 mm (0.5″) |
| Reflective/Black Mark Width** | Min: 2.5 mm (0.1″) Max: N/A |
| Max Outer Diameter (OD) | 152 mm (6″) |
| Inner Core Diameter (ID) | 76 mm (3″) |
*This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness.
- The ability for the printer to pull the paper through the printer area.
- The ability for the sensor to read through the backing if the sensor is set to die-cut.
** The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label.
