The Label Taken Sensor (LTS) is a device, which enables the
printer's fi rmware to detect if the latest printed label, ticket, tag, etc.
has been removed before printing another copy.
This label taken sensor cannot be fi tted in combination with a paper
cutter, but the linerless cutter has a built-in label taken sensor.
The label taken sensor consists of a photoelectric sensor with a
bracket and a connection cable. The sensor is fi tted inside the front
door, see illustration below.
The photoelectric sensor emits a narrow beam of light, which will
be refl ected back to the sensor by any label, ticket, tag, or piece
of continuous stock, that has not been removed from the outfeed
area. A prerequisite is that the media is fed out along the inner
wall of the printer.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by means of a potentiometer, as
described in Chapter 13, “Adjustments.”
The LTS can be enabled or disabled by means of the instructions
LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively. Here is an example on how
the label taken sensor is used to control the printing of a ten-label
batch printing job. A new copy will not be printed until the pending
label has been removed.
