Automatic
Automatic mode, for material with a contrast zone = gap in the label.
"Automatic" is the default setting, suitable for all materials with which there is
a difference in the transparency between the label and gap of more than 2
values (see Description, sensor check).
Manual
Manual setting, for material with several varying contrast zones. Settings are
made using the parameter
PRINT PARAMETER > Punch level
.
The range of the value automatically measured by the gap detection can be
defined specifically for the label material. This allows materials with high-con-
trast proof points within the label to be processed, which would otherwise be
measured as 'false' gaps by the system. The corresponding setting value is
then equal to, or smaller than, the value measured at the actual gap.

= „Manual“.
xxx
Setting range: 0 to 255; Unit interval: 1
The value xxx stands for the current contrast within the photoelectric switch
of the material which has just been inserted. This serves to determine a
threshold value for the inserted material.
xxx = current measurement at the punch sensor
yyy = set threshold value
Example
Self-adhesive material with black bars lengthways across the label
y
Reading:
– Masking paper: 30
– Masking paper + label: 60
– Masking paper + label + black bars: 190
y
Setting value: 60
A setting value of 60 means that all readings over 60 are ignored, therefore
also the reading 190 at the black bar.
