Top Of Form
Sensing
To accommodate different size media, your
printer is equipped with a sensor capable of de
-
tecting the top of each label or tag. Two meth
-
ods are used by the printer for top of form
sensing: Gap Sensing and Black Line Sensing.
The gap sensing feature depends on the ability
of the Gap Sensor to “see through” the label
liner between labels. Gap sensing is standard
on all printers.
An optional Black Line Sensor may also be in
-
stalled in your printer. The Black Line Sensor is
used with special labels that have a black line
printed on the back of the label liner between
each label.
For proper operation, the printer needs to
measure the length of the labels. Also, due to
manufacturing differences in label stock, the
Gap Sensor may have difficulty distinguishing
the difference between labels and the liner.
When this occurs, the printer Power Indicator
will switch from GREEN to ORANGE or RED.
If this condition occurs, the AutoSense
feature should be activated to adjust the
sensitivity of the sensor and measure the label
length.
