Printer Configuration
Mark Sensing
Mark Sensing Front
Possible Values: Front*, Back, Gap (Back* for LP Models)
Mark Sensing is used to identify form or label position marking and must be set to match the media being used. The use of Black Mark or Gap sensing is associated with the design of the application program that is controlling the printer. For more information on Black Mark or Gap sensing, please refer to the MLP 3040 Series Programmer’s Manual.
Note: This feature is only available in MLP 3040 LP models.
Mark Sensitivity
Possible Values:
Mark Sensitivity 0
This feature allows the Black Mark/Paper sensor to be adjusted to allow for variations in media materials and Black Mark printing methods. The following list will help determine if, and how, the Mark Sensitivity should be adjusted.
•If the printer is not detecting black marks reliably, set the Mark Sensitivity to a lower value.
•If the printer is detecting false Check Paper conditions, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
•If the printer is detecting black marks where none exist, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
Gap Sensitivity
Possible Values:
Gap Sensitivity 0
This feature is used to adjust the sensing of gaps between labels when using precut labels that are provided on a removable backing. The following method should be used to adjust the gap sensor.
•If the printer is not detecting gaps between labels reliably, set the Gap Sensitivity to a higher value.
•If the printer is detecting gaps where none exist, set the Gap Sensitivity to a lower value.
Note: This feature is only available in MLP 3040 LP models.
Tear to Mark Distance
Possible Values:
Tear to Mark Dst 0.0000”
This feature is used to set the distance from the tear position on the paper/labels to the black mark. If the tear position is above the black mark, the value is negative. If the tear position is below the black mark, the value is positive.
