UBI EasyCoder 501 – Technical Manual
The Label-Taken Sensor (LTS) is a device, which enables the
printer's software to detect if the latest printed label, ticket, tag etc.
has been removed before printing another copy.
The label-taken sensor is usually factory-fitted, but it is also
available as a kit for upgrading of existing printers. It cannot be
fitted in combination with a paper cutter.
The label-taken sensor consists of a photoelectric sensor with a
bracket and a connection cable. The sensor is fitted inside the front
door, see illustration below.
The photoelectric sensor emits a narrow beam of light, which will
be reflected back to the sensor by any label, ticket, tag, piece of strip
or backing paper, that has not been removed from the outfeed area.
A prerequisite is that the web is fed out along the inner wall of the
printer.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by means of a potentiometer, as
described on next page.
