Lbl Missing Flt
Allows the Label Taken Sensor to first detect the presence of a label at the
tear bar for Peel and Tear Off Media Handling Mode only.
•
Enable. The printer generates a fault condition if a missing label is
encountered.
•
Disable. The printer does not generate a fault condition if a missing label
is encountered.
The default is Enable.
Clip Page
This option determines how the printer handles images that are too large for
one physical page length when using gap or black mark media.
•
Enable. When the user-selected page length is greater than the physical
page length, the printer clips the excess data to fit the physical page. The
excess data is lost. The media sensor constantly looks for the gap, notch,
hole, or black mark and when detected, uses it as the Top-of-Form
position for the next label and clips any remaining data from the label
being printed.
•
Disable. When the user-selected page length (logical length) is greater
than the physical page length dictated by the gap, notch, hole, or black
mark on media, the printer continues to print the remaining excess data
onto the next physical page.
The media sensor looks for the gap, notch, hole, or black mark only after
the media has advanced the distance specified by the Label Length value
in the MEDIA CONTROL menu or by the Host Forms Length value sent
via the software. Any gaps, notches, holes, or black marks that exist prior
to reaching the Label Length or Host Forms Length value are ignored.
When Clip Page is set to Disable, Mark and Gap media sensing reliability
can be improved and the sensor problems described below can be fixed:
•
The image starts to print at an erroneous distance from the top-of-
form, especially towards the end of a roll where the media is severely
curled or scalloped.
•
The image is incorrectly positioned as a result of the media sensor
triggering off of a dark, pre-printed image on the label or multiple gaps
within the label.
•
The printer starts to print one label and then another all on the same
physical label, especially at the end of a roll where the media is
severely curled.
•
An occasional blank label appears within a print job (in between
printed labels).
