continuous media

Label or tag-stock media that does not have gaps, holes, notches, or black marks to indicate label separations. The media is one long piece of material wound into a roll. This allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label. Sometimes a cutter is used to cut apart individual labels or receipts.

A transmissive (gap) sensor is typically used for the printer to detect when the media runs out.
Contrast this with black mark media or gap/notch media.
