SATO GL408/412E manual Handling method, But only supports label lengths 2.50 inches or longer, Cal

		Unit 4: Printer Configuration
		ADVANCED MODE (TABLE 4-3)
MENU		DESCRIPTION
	Allows selection of special media modes when the Continuous option is chosen as the Media
	Handling method.
	•	Standard - factory default. Printing occurrs without automatic media offset or positioning for
		each consecutive label. In such applications, the FEED key may need to be pressed to
		position the next label for printing. Will result in a blank label being fed between each printed
		label to advance the media sufficiently to remove the printed label.
	•	Tear-Off- provides offset movement of the media to postion the perforated line of its backing
Adv Continuous
Standard*		paper at the tear bar. This option will not result in blank labels as with the Standard method,
		but only supports label lengths 2.50 inches or longer.
	•	Tear-Strip Full - provides offset movement of the media to position the perforated line of its
		backing paper at the tear bar once the print buffer is empty for a period Test Strip Time
		(media is not aligned at the tear bar until that time expires). when printable data is again
		detected, a blank label is automatically fed resulting in one blank label between each print
		job. This option supports label lengths 2.50 inches or longer. Shorter label lengths will result
		in two or more blank labels to be automatically fed at the beginning of each print job.
	This option specifies the media type to be used.
	• Transfer - factory default. Indicates thermal transfer media requiring ribbon stock.
Print Mode
Transfer*	•	Direct - indicates direct thermal printing using heat sensitive media without ribbon stock.
	Allows specification of the label sensor to be used relative to the media type for label length
	indication (gap, notch, hole, eye-mark).
	•	Gap - factory default. Select when using media with a liner space between die-cut labels or
		when using tag stock with notches or holes as length indicators on white background media.
		The top-of-form position is the leading edge of the die-cut label (trailing edge of the gap,
		notch, hole).
Gap/Mark Sensor
Gap*	•	Disable - select when using media without label length indicators (without gap, notch, hole,
		eye-mark) or to ignore any present length indicators. When this option is chosen, label length
		will be based on the Label Legth value entered in the Media Setup menu or the value sent via
		host software.
	•	Mark - select when using eye-mark media or tag stock. The top-of-form position is the
		leading edge of the eye-mark indicator (black mark).
	This feature is used to improve the sensitivity and reliability of the printer’s label sensor in
	detecting reference indicators (gap, notch, hole, eye-mark) as well as, a paper-out condition.
	Press the ENTER key of the operator panel while ‘Run Auto-Cal’ is displayed on the LCD. the
ADVANCED MODE	printer will then advance media the distance required to accurately detect the label length
Run Auto Cal	indicator, then stop at the top-of-form position. The LCD will momentarily display the Sensed
	Distance. The end result will be a change to the Gap/Mark Threshold, Paper-Out Threshold, and
	Sensed Distance values that the printer will use. The changes will take effect immediately within
	the current configuration menu.
	Is an informational menu screen. Indicates that automatic calibration is in process from Run Auto-
	Cal.
Please Wait
	Run Auto-Cal is successfully completed when the Sensed Distance displayed correctly matches
	that of the installed media. When Gap is selected, the Sensed Distance will be representative of
	the length from the trailing edge of one gap to the trailing edge of the next gap (one label + one
Sensed Distance
XX.X mm*	gap). When Mark is selected, the Sensed Distance will represent the length form the leading
	edge of one eye-mark to the leading edge of the next eye-mark. Run Auto-Cal supports label
	lengths up to 24 inches.
