Abstract (en)
A printer system (10) includes a web of media (14) wound about a roll (22). The roll (22) has coded indicia (24) positioned thereon that is arranged to rotate when the roll (22) is rotated. The web of media (14) is engaged by an advancement mechanism which moves the media (14) into a printing position. The movement of the media (14) causes rotation of the roll (22) and causes the coded indicia (24) to move past a detector (28) that is juxtaposed to the roll (22). The detector (28) reads the coded indicia (24) and transmits data derived therefrom to a processor which employs the data to control the print operations of the printer (10). <IMAGE>
