Blowhole settings cause the printer to use its transmissive sensor to detect the backing
material between labels or an actual hole in the media.
3.4.11.1.2 Settings - Darkness
This sets the darkness or contrast that the printer uses to image. As the value increases,
the higher the thermal temperature setting is used for imaging. The lowest temperature that
produces quality images should be used to extend the printhead life.
3.4.11.2 Media tab - Feed Options
The Feed options handle post printing dispensing and media options that are used by the
printer to properly register the media from page to page.
3.4.11.2.1 Feed Options - Mode
The Mode is used to select the type of dispense option used after the printer has printed.
The options include None, Advance when idle, Advance every label, Cut after label, and Cut
with LPD.
Selecting the “None” option will disable the dispense modes. The printer will print the job
and then stop without performing any dispense option.
The Advance when idle dispense option causes the printer to advance the Dispense
Distance after the printer’s communication port has gone idle. This mode does not require a
label present sensor to function. For example: If printing 5 jobs, the printer would advance
after printing the fifth job.
The Advance every label is a dispense mode that does use the printer’s label present
sensor. The printer will print a job and then advance the job by the Dispense Distance. A
second job will not be processed until the printed/dispensed job has been taken (the LPD no
longer detects the advanced job). Once the job has been taken, the printer will process the
next print job. The Advance/Retract delay is also used in conjunction with this command.
This delay starts after the label has been taken.
Cut after label causes the printer to advance the Dispense Distance after the job has been
printed and then cycles the cutter. This mode does not use the Label Present Sensor.
The Cut with LPD is a mode that the printer will advance the Dispense Distance after
printing and cut the label. The LPD is used to prevent the next job from printing until the
current job has been taken by the user.
3.4.11.2.2 Feed Options - Gap Height
This field is used to specify the height of the backing material between labels typically found
on die cut media types. As the media is moved through the printer, the height of the Gap
would be what the printer’s transmissive sensor would detect and use for page to page
registration.
3.4.11.2.3 Feed Options - Blackline/Blowhole Height
This field is used to specify the height of the blackline or Blow hole that is used for
registration on media types containing a blackline of blowhole. The printer uses its reflective
sensor to detect the blackline as the media is passed through the printer and would use its
transmissive sensor to detect the blowhole.
