Label Sensor
The printers of the Apollo series offer different methods for recognizing the
front edge of the label.
In most cases, the label edge sensor photocell can be used in the see-through
mode ("Gap sensor" mode), where the different transparency of the material is
used to distinguish between the labels and the gaps.
In certain cases, for instance when pre-printed continuous paper is used, the
label edge can also be recognized through reflective marks. (see also section
about label formats; page 20) All versions of the Apollo offer the see-through
mode and reflective mark recognition on the bottom side of the material. In
addition, Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 are also able to recognize reflective marks on
the top of the material.
NOTICE !
This parameter can also be changed via software. For different print jobs
it is recommended to make all changes in the software.
