2.13 Threshold Setting

2.13 Threshold Setting

To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media sensor to

 

detect a print start position according to the difference of voltage between

 

a print area and a gap or black mark. When the media is pre-printed, the

 

darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper

 

jam errors.

 

To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.

 

If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be

 

manually set.

Automatic threshold setting procedure

1.Turn the power ON. The printer is in online mode.

2.Load a pre-printed media roll.

When using a label stock, move the Feed Gap Sensor so that it is in line with the centre of the label.

When using a tag stock, move the Black Mark Sensor so that it is in line with the centre of a black mark.

3.Press the [PAUSE] key.

4.The printer enters the pause mode.

5.Press and hold the [PAUSE] key in the pause state until the following screen appears.

6. The sensor type is displayed.

NOTES:

1.Failure to feed more than 1.5 labels may result in an incorrect threshold setting.

2.While the Top Cover is raised, the [PAUSE] key does not work

3.A paper end error cannot be detected during paper feed.

8.Press and hold the [PAUSE] key until more than 1.5 labels (tags)

have been issued.

The media will continue to be fed until the [PAUSE] key is released. (An automatic threshold setting for the selected sensor is completed by this operation.)
