3.3.6.1 Selecting the Sensor
The type of sensor to be used can be selected in one of two ways. First, the
sensor type can be selected as part of the format (see the PCMate Platinum
manual or the PCL manual for details).
The sensor type that is selected in the format can be overridden using the Virtual
Control Panel (see section 8.0) or the Remote Front Panel (see section 7.0). If the
Format sensor type is selected, the printer will use the sensor specified in the
format. If one of the other sensor types is selected, the printer will use that
sensor and ignore the selection in the format.
The printer does not know if the optional sensors are
installed. If one of these sensors is selected but not
installed, the printer will not operate properly.
3.3.6.2 Aligning the Stock to the Sensor
In order to work properly, the stock must be aligned to the sensor before starting
to print. To do this, close one or both print-head rollers (depending on whether
the label is single- or double-sided) and use the Auxiliary Feed knob until the
sense mark is just to the left of the sensor. Then rotate the ink rewind arbors to
take up any slack and press the Start Button.
This alignment must be done anytime the printer would
normally create a leader. This will happen after most
errors. Do not align the stock after a normal stop or a
stacker full.
3.3.7 Feeding the stock
To feed the stock, press and hold the Start button. After a short delay, the printer
will feed stock though the printer. To stop the feed, release the Start button.
If you are in the middle of printing a batch, feeding the
stock will cause the printed labels between the printhead
and the knife to feed through without cutting. These
labels will be re-printed the next time you start printing.
The batch quantity will be correct.
