Claim 8:
9. A method for operating a printer apparatus, the method comprising:
determining whether a media hub, in the printing apparatus, has received a new media roll based on one or more parameters associated with the new media roll, wherein the new media roll includes new media that further includes a plurality of new labels;
based on determining that the media hub received the new media roll, causing the new media in the new media roll to retract along a media path in a retract direction until a trailing edge of a new label is detected by a first media sensor;
based on detection of the trailing edge of the new label, causing the new media to retract along the media path in the retract direction until a distance traversed by the new media is equal to a predetermined label length prior to detecting a leading edge of the new label, wherein the predetermined label length is a length of label in a media roll loaded prior to the new media roll;
upon determining that the distance traversed by the new media is equal to the label length, retracting the new media until the leading edge of the new label is detected by the first media sensor;
determining a second distance that the new media traversed after the new media has traversed by the label length and before the leading edge of the new label is detected by the first media sensor; and
modifying the label length by the second distance.
