Label Stop Sensor Position

One Sensor

One Diode + One Sensor

The label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) is a photoelectric sensor that controls the printer’s media feed by detecting gaps between labels or slots or black marks in continuous stock, depending on the printer’s setup in regard of media type (see Chapter 6 “Setting Up the Printer”). An obvious prerequisite is that the LSS must be aligned with the gaps, slots, or black marks. If using irregularly-shaped labels, align the LSS with the front tips of the labels

The LSS can be moved laterally between 5 fixed positions. There is one part of the sensor on top of the upper media guide and another part underneath the lower guide. These must be adjusted individually to the same position. Using a small screwdriver, push them inwards as far as they go and then pull them out–one at the time–while counting the clicks from the snap-locks. A hole in the bottom plate gives access to the lower sensor part.

The various detection points of the sensor in relation to the inner

edge of the media are as follows:
