4.5.2 Label Alignment = AUTO
In this mode the printer can calculate the ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ by performing a FORCED ALIGNMENT. This eliminates the need to physically measure the ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ as in 4.5.1 Label Alignment = YES. This feature is usually preferred for applications requiring frequent changing of media of different label lengths.
To perform a FORCED ALIGNMENT press and hold the FEED button (approx. 4 seconds). The printer will measure and save the label length and then align the label. FORCED ALIGNMENT can result in wasted labels during the label measurement, (the larger the label length the more labels that are wasted), these labels are not rewound because of physical rewind limits that prevent ribbon and paper jamming.
FORCED ALIGNMENT with Present Sensor Enabled:
While the label length is measured the printer will pause, illuminating the PAUSE LED after each movement. The operator must press the Pause button for alignment to continue. This allows the operator to remove any labels as required. Labels should not be forcibly removed, as they may not actually be positioned for removal, but at an interim position required for length measurement.
4.5.3 Label Alignment = NO
When Label Alignment is not enabled (set to NO) printing begins at the current label position without alignment, assuming the label is at the start of print position. Additionally, for small label lengths, the labels between the printhead and the TOF sensor are wasted.
