Self-adhesive labels are backed with silicon-coated backing paper, from which
the label is removed. There are different types of adhesive:
• Tickets are printed on non-adhesive paper, which means there is no need
for backing paper.
• Both labels and tickets are available as rolls or as fan-folded continuous
paper tracks. Fan-folded labels and tickets are supplied in boxes, in which
labels are stored before passing through the printer.
• Perforations are used to divide labels and tickets. This makes them easier to
tear after printing.
• In order to start and stop the media during the print process, the printer is
equipped with a detector that senses any gaps or black marks.
For more detailed information about media and consumables, we recommend
you read Honeywell's Consumables document (currently only available in
English).
MP Nova4 DT & Nova6 DT
The MP Nova DT printers use direct-thermal media, such as labels, paper and
tickets.
Direct-thermal media is made of special paper that reacts to heat and printouts
are often black. Different paper qualities are available.
MP Nova4 TT, Nova6 TT
The MP Nova TT uses a special ink ribbon, which transfers ink to media
(receiver) when subjected to heat. Labels printed using the thermal-transfer
method show a greater resistance to heat and UV-light.
