8.9 TAG SORTING METHOD
There are two different tag sorting methods using a batch separator (marking on the side of a tag with black
ink) and a separator (changing the tag length to be cut).
8.9.1 Batch Separator
A batch separator is used for the tag (Center hole, Side hole, Edge (Notch) and I-mark) and it comes in handy
to sort out the tags by its category after taking the printed tag out of the stacker. Some competitors have been
making various efforts such as cutting the tag longer than usual or changing the tag direction for sorting out
the printed tags. For SATO's products, black ink is applied to the side of a tag as a batch separator. Many
users, deploying the batch separator, start printing the price tag after the header tag, and the header tag
carries the batch separator.
The batch separator is available only when being specified by the online command (ESC I1). When more than
two tags are specified for printing, only the first tag will carry the batch separator.
Important:
Assembly position of solenoid may affect the position and size of batch separator. Please refer to the batch
separator position and size in this document only as a guide.
If you are sorting the labels (pitch 0.75” or 19 mm) continuously, the labels may not be sorted depending on
the pitch sensor reading conditions. Make sure to use the labels (pitch 0.79” (20 mm) or more) for this job.
