Step 3 – Create the Profile
Select the Detect Parameter in the Print Gap Category of the Operator Menu . Press
Menu => up arrow until Detect shows => Enter. This will cause the printer to
move down the form in 1/6 inch increments, performing a print gap detec-
tion operation at each increment. Note that this operation will take approxi-
mately five to six minutes for an 11 inch form. Also note that the print gap
detection operation will leave small dots imprinted on the form, so the
sample form will have to be discarded.
If the printer is placed Online while in Print Gap Profile Mode, and a profile
does not exist (i.e. the Detect function was not performed), then a Profile
Error message will be displayed on the control panel.
Step 4 – Save the Profile
Once the Gap Zone Profile is created, you will probably want to save it for
future use. By saving the Current Configuration into any of the ten saved
printer configurations, the Gap Zone Profile is automatically saved along with
the other configuration parameters. If the Current Configuration is not saved,
the Gap Zone Profile just created will be lost when the printer is turned off.
See page 3-71 for directions in how to save a configuration.
Using a Saved Gap Zone Profile
Whenever a configuration with the Print Gap Mode set to Profile is loaded, the Gap
Zone Profile is automatically used when printing forms.
The Gap Zone Profile can be inhibited by changing the Print Gap Mode from
Profile to either Manual or Auto .
If the Form Length is changed to a value other than the one used to create the
Gap Zone Profile, the profile will be automatically disabled. If the printer is then
placed Online while still in Print Gap Profile Mode, a Profile Error message will
be displayed on the control panel.
