Use Continuous Media in the i5100
Continuous materials are a single long strip of material with no notches or gaps: Why Are Label Materials Referred to As "Die-Cut" or "Continuous"?.
Note: i5100 printers with firmware 5.28 and above can use continuous materials that do not contain an RFID chip. Check you firmware version by navigating to Gear Icon > Info. If you need to upgrade your firmware, refer to How to Upgrade the Firmware on the i5100.

If the materials continuously feed out, the printer is not calibrated and setup for the printer must be reviewed again. Verify the correct sensor is set: How to Configure Correct Sensor Settings on the i5100.
