1.3 Print Media Types

Important •Dascom strongly recommends the use of Dascom-brand supplies for

continuous high-quality printing.

Your printer can use various types of media:

• Standard media—Most standard (non-continuous) media uses an adhesive backing that sticks

individual labels or a continuous length of labels to a liner.

• Continuous roll media—Most continuous roll media is direct thermal media (similar to FAX paper)

and is used for receipt or ticket style printing.

• Tag stock—Tags are usually made from a heavy paper (up to 0.0075in./0.19mm thick). Tag stock

does not have adhesive or a liner, and it is typically perforated between tags.

For more information on basic media types, see the following table.

The printer typically uses roll media, but you can use fan-fold or other continuous media too. Use the

correct media for the type of printing you require. You must use direct thermal media.When printing

without a ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using ribbon, you must use thermal

transfer media.

Tally Dascom DL-200 User Guide V1.3

Media Type

How it looks

Description

Non-Continuous

Roll Media

Roll media is wound on a core that can be 1 to 1.5

in. (25.4 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 back side 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.

Non-Continuous

Fanfold Media

Fan-Fold 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.

Continuous Roll

Media

Roll media is wound on a core that can be 1 to 1.5

in. (25.4 to 38.1 mm) in diameter. Continuous roll

media does not have gaps, holes, notches, or black

marks to indicate label separations. This allows the

image to be printed anywhere on the label. A cutter

can be used to cut apart individual labels. With

continuous media, use the transmissive (gap)

sensor so the printer can detect when the media

runs out.
