LABEL SENSING

The CT Series printers can use either label Gap (see-thru) or Eye-Mark (reflective) sensing. The Sensor Assembly is located on the left edge of the media and is automatically positioned by the Paper Guides.

The printer is shipped from the factory with the default sensing method set for label gap. The setting can be overridden by using the <ESC>IG command (Section 4) however it will be reset to the default when power is cycled. The default setting can be changed using the <ESC>PG command (Section 4) or the Printer Configuration Utility program on the CD-ROM.
