GAP [X.XXV]
INPUT [X.XV]
The printer determines the location of the leading edge of the label by
measuring the difference between light levels when it sees either a label edge
or a black “EYE” mark. This adjustment allows the threshold voltage level to be
manually set between the maximum and minimum light levels. DIP switch
DSW2-2 selects the sensor type. If DSW2-2 is in the OFF position, the setting
will be for a See-Thru (or Gap) sensor and the LCD will display “GAP” on the
top line along with the current setting. If DSW2-2 is in the ON position, the LCD
will display “EYE” on the top line with its current setting. If the value entered for
the bottom line setting is “0.0V”, then the printer will automatically calculate the
setting when the first label is fed after the printer is powered on or the head is
closed. There are some instances where the automatically calculated value
must be adjusted to ensure reliable label feeding, such as when the backing
opacity or the reflectance of the EYE mark varies significantly within a roll of
labels or between label rolls. In these instances the value should be set using
the following procedures.
