D. SET THE STOCK SENSOR MODE

The stock sensor mode refers to the method the printer will use to detect the print starting position for each label. To adjust the stock sensor mode, open the PTStatus program. PTStatus automatically installs with your printer driver and can be accessed through the printer driver or as program that is accessible in the same manner as all other programs.

Important Note: Set the Stock Sensor Mode BEFORE loading label stock!

1.Connect the printer via USB and turn on the power. The Stock Sensor Mode setting is stored on printer main board so you will not be able to access it unless the printer is turned on and properly communicating with the computer.

2.Go to Start - Programs - Primera Technology - PTStatus.

3.Click on the Alignment Tab (3rd tab from top).

4.Click on the Stock Sensor Mode button.

5.Select the Stock Sensor Mode by clicking on graphic that most closely corresponds to the stock you intend to install.

There are three sensor modes:

Die Cut (Default). If you are using standard die-cut labels that look similar to the graphic use this setting regardless of the size of the label. Also, use this setting for Through-hole label material where a hole is punched through each label or a notch is cut in the side.

Reflective. Use Reflective for label material where a black pre-printed line (black mark) on the back of the label stock indicates the break between labels. Black marks are required on clear label stock rolls, or label where the label waste matrix (waste) is left on the liner. Black marks can also be used for irregular shaped labels, circles larger than 4.6 inches or on any stock where the print starting position can not be sensed using the label itself.
