Gap Zone
The Gap Zone feature is used to set up a variable print gap for forms that contain areas of varying thickness. This is done by creating a Gap Zone Profile for the form, saving it in one of the ten saved configurations, then loading that configuration whenever the particular form is used.
Print Gap Profile Mode
As previously described, the Print Gap Mode is set up in the Print Gap Category of the Operator Menu. There are three Print Gap Modes. In Manual Mode, the print gap is set manually using the Print Gap keys on the control panel. In Auto Mode (default), the print gap is automatically detected whenever a new form is loaded, and when the printer is powered on.
