Making A Media Profile Printout

Advanced Gap Sensing

This figure shows a Media Profile printout of a smart label where Gap/Mark Sensor is set to Advanced Gap in the CALIBRATE CTRL menu.

In this example, the gap threshold value the printer selected (represented by the Gap/Mark dotted line) is too close to the amplitude of the antenna pulse. If there is an increase in noise or the opacity of the liner or ribbon, the printer may falsely use the antenna or noise as the gap (top-of-form).
