10.6.1 Outline of Threshold setting
When a label stock is printed, the printer automatically corrects the print position by detecting gaps
between the labels by using the transmissive sensor to maintain a constant print position. However,
when pre-printed label stock is used, print positions may not be detected correctly depending on ink
type used for preprints. In this case, it is required to manually set the transmissive sensor threshold
through key operations and store the value in the non-volatile memory.
This threshold stored is used for printing by selecting “3: Transmissive Sensor (when using the pre-
printed label)” for the sensor type of the Issue Command, and data is printed at a constant print position
correctly since the print positions are detected based on this threshold.
When the media with black marks printed on the back side is used, the printer automatically corrects
the print position by detecting the black marks by using the reflective sensor. However, if there is
reflective rate variation on the media except for the black marks, the print position cannot be corrected
properly. In this case, it is required to manually set the reflective sensor threshold through key
operations and store the value in the non-volatile memory.
This threshold stored is used for printing by selecting “4: Reflective Sensor (when using a manual
threshold value)” for the sensor type of the Issue Command, and data is printed at a constant print
position correctly since the print positions are detected based on this threshold.
