Gap sensors
Fig. 8:
Selecting the gap sensor
The printer has two gap sensors (1, 2) to detect the start of a label and the end of the material, which
can be used alternatively. The detectors (1a, 2a) are located in the transport module, the emitters (1b,
2b) in the print module.
The gap sensor (2) is used as default. This is suitable for use with single and multi-lane labels with an
odd number of lanes.
When using multi-lane labels with an even number of lanes, e.g. two or four lane,
one has to switch manually to the gap sensor (1).
1. Open the cover, fig. 1 (9) and hinge down the control panel, fig. 1 (16) Press the release button, fig.1
(14) and hinge the print module up.
2. Set the switch (3) as required:
for gap sensor (1) - move switch (3) to left-hand position,
for gap sensor (2) - move switch (3) to right-hand position.
3. Slot in the print module by pressing the marked surfaces (8) on both sides, hinge up the control
panel, fig. 1 (16) and close the cover, fig. 1 (9).
This switch cannot be made by software.
