The detection part of the Setup Mode is used for adjusting the label
stop sensor and to control the paper feed.
Label stop sensor (LSS):
LABEL <> GAP
■
❑
Often it will suffice just to perform a couple of
TESTFEED
operations by pressing < Feed >, which allows the printer to
auto-adjust itself. A blank label (or the equivalent) will be fed
out. When the paper feed operates as expected, you can exit the
LSS adjustment by pressing < Enter >.
❑
If you cannot make the paper feed operate properly by means of
TESTFEEDs
, you will have to adjust the LSS as described below.
Before the LSS is adjusted, the printer must be set up for the type
of paper web you intend to use, i.e. “Label (w gaps)”, “Ticket (w
mark)”, “Ticket (w gaps) ”, “Fix length strip”, or “Var. length
strip”.
