Auto Media Configuration Overview

Auto Media Configuration allows the printer to automatically detect the characteristics of the installed paper, and then select the correct paper size settings.

Model

  • Label spacing
  • Width of marks
  • Gap/Black mark detection sensitivity
TD-4420DN/TD-4520DN
  • Paper type
  • Width
  • Length
  • Label spacing
  • Width of marks
  • Gap/Black mark detection sensitivity

Auto Media Configuration Workflow

After Auto Media Configuration is started, the printer will feed the paper to detect its characteristics. By default, the printer uses the continuous feed setting unless:

  • The transmissive/gap sensor detects a die-cut label.
  • The reflective/black mark sensor detects marked media. *1

  • If the paper runs out during the Auto Media Configuration, the printer will not detect the media type successfully and an error will be displayed.
  • If the paper width is not aligned correctly, the calibration will not be successful.
  • Depending on the paper's shape and material, media detection may not be possible.
  • (TD-4210D/TD-4410D)

    The recently used paper width is set.

  • (TD-4420DN/TD-4520DN)

    The paper width is obtained by subtracting 2.0 mm from the left and right from the detected width.

It may be necessary to feed the paper again depending on the results.
