Label Taken Sensor

The built-in Label Taken Sensor (LTS) can be enabled to hold the printing until the previous label (or similar) has been removed from the printer's outfeed slot. As long as the sensor detects a label, the printer will be BUSY and cannot receive data from host.

If using the ESim protocol described in the ESim v6.XX, Programmer’s Reference Manual, note the following:

The LTS can be enabled/disabled manually using the switch next to the sensor (see below) or in the ESim protocol by an O command.

When switching between peel-off, tear-off operation and cut-off operation, the media feed must be readjusted by means of a j com- mand.

The Intermec InterDriver provides options for selecting the following modes of operation without any j or O commands having to be entered by the operator:

Tear-off

Peel-off with LTS enabled

Peel-off with LTS disabled

If the printer runs out of media while printing, do not switch off the power during reload, or data will be lost!

The Label Taken Sensor can be enabled (on) or disabled (off) using a manual switch inside the peel-off mechansim.
