4.4.7 Label distance (LPIT)

The label distance is defined as [76]:

Label distance = label length + gap

The shape of the labels or reflective surfaces can

cause a false signal to be sent from the label stop sen-

sor. In such a case, the label distance must be manual-

ly set.

Set distance

In the extended menu:

£ Call up the LPIT function.

£ Set the desired distance.

– Settings are possible in 0.1 mm steps:

Minimum: 5 mm

Maximum: 350 mm

£ Confirm the value using the ENTER key and exit the

function.

£ Check setting.

Check setting

£ Press the FEED key.

If the setting is correct:

– A single label is dispensed at a constant dispensing

speed. The label completely separates from the

backing material and no wrinkling occurs.

If the setting value for LPIT is too large:

– 2 labels are dispensed.

If the setting value for LPIT is too small:

– A single label is dispensed.

– Because the value for LPIT is too small, the control

unit prematurely anticipates a signal from the label

stop sensor. The missing signal triggers automatic

label compensation. This error is indicated if:

– The dispensing speed is excessively fast at

the trailing edge of the label.

– If a printer is connected, the device will print

more than once.

1) Possible at reduced dispensing speeds (up to 999 mm); Refer to the serv-

ice guide.
