Auto Sensing
Using Auto Sensing the Printer automatically detects and records the label type and length (gap or
black mark paper). Then the Printer can accurately detect the label positions.
1. Adjust the Moveable Sensor so that it is located in a position to sense the label gaps or black
marks.
2. Turn the Printer Off and press and hold the PAUSE Key.
3. Turn the Printer On while holding down the PAUSE Key.
4. The Printer will beep 3 times and the LCD will display “Auto Sensing Mode” then release the
PAUSE Key.
5. The Printer will now detect and record the label size/length.
6. The LCD will display the measurement in dots and the Printer will go back into Standby Mode.
NOTICE!
Generally, the Printer should be set to Auto Mode and the Auto Sensing
procedure will detect the label stock correctly. Some label stock has gaps
AND black marks. This can cause the Printer to NOT correctly detect the
label stock. If this happens, the Auto Sensor Option should be set to Black
Mode or Gap Mode based on what you wish to base the label size on.
