AutoSense

Gap Sensor

Adjustment

Your printer is equipped with a sensor capable of detecting the gap between labels while they are being printed. This feature depends on the ability of the sensor to “see through” the label carrier between labels. Due to manufacturing differences in label stock, the sensor may have difficulty discriminating the difference between labels and the carrier. When this occurs, the printer Power indicator will switch from Green to Red.

If the printer Power indicator switches from Green to Red, the AutoSense feature should be activated to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.

After loading labels into the printer, place the power switch in the “0" (OFF) position. Press and hold the FEED control while placing the power switch in the ”1" (ON) position. Release the FEED control when the printer starts feeding labels. The POWER indicator will turn off and then switch to Green while the adjustment is being made. The printer will advance 3-4 labels while performing the adjustment. When the ad- justment is complete, a status summary label will be printed and the printer will be placed in Diagnostic Dump mode. Tap the FEED Control once to switch the printer back to normal opera- tion. When the indicator switches to Green, the printer is ready for use.
