CL408e and CL412e

 

 

Ribbon End Sensor:

This sensor is a motion detector that signals the printer

 

when the ribbon supply is turning.

Head Open Switch:

When the print head is opened, this switch is activated

 

and the printer will stop printing.

Label Sensor Unit:

This sensor unit contains two types of sensors, one for

 

label gap and one for Eye-Mark sensing. The sensors

 

are adjustable over a limited range.

Front Access Door

This switch prevents printer operation when the Front

Interlock:

Access Door is open. The Top Access Door must be

 

open before the Front Access Door can be opened or

 

closed.
