Label Gap Sensor Adjustments

The label gap/black mark sensor (also called Label Stop 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. This requires the label gap sensor to be aligned with the gaps, slots or marks on the media. If you are using irregularly shaped labels, align the sensor with the front tip of the labels.

Adjusting Label Gap Sensor Position

1Use the lever at the rear side of the print mechanism to move the sensor inward or outward.
