GL408-412e Operator's Manual
Unit 4: Printer Configuration
ADVANCED MODE (TABLE 4-3)
This menu sets a value that when exceeded by the output of the media sensor, is recognized by
the printer as a gap or eye-mark. When Auto or Manual Paper Calibrate is performed, the value
displayed is equal to the gap/eye-mark threshold value set by this procedure. If running the
procedure does not provide a reliable top-of-form detection (e.g., when using unusual media), the
Gap/Mark Thresh value can be manually set to th desired value.
The factory default is 171 with a range of 000 to 255.
Note: If the Gap/Mark Sensor (in ADVANCED MODE) is set for gap sensing, the factory default is
140. The factory default is 75 for eye-mark sensing.
This menu allows selection of a value that when exceeded by the output of the media sensor, is
recognized by the printer as a paper-out condition. When Auto or Manualcalibrate is performed,
the value displayed is equal to the paer-out threshold value set by this procedure. If running this
procedure does not provide a reliable paper-out detection (e.g., when using non-standard media),
the Paper Out Thres value can be manually set to the desired value.
The factory default is 171 with a range of 000 to 255.
Note: If the Gap/Mark Sensor (in ADVANCED MODE) is set for gap sensing, the factory default is
160. The factory default is 150 for eye-mark sensing.
This menu provides another method of improving the printer's media sensing and is only used
when Auto Calibrate has failed or the Gap/Mark Threshold or Paper Out Threshold values
derived from Auto Calibrate do not improve the media sensors' gap or eye-mark sensing
capability.
Is the final stage of the Run Manual Cal process. The printer uses the statistically derived values,
advances media, stops at the top-of-form position, and momentarily displays the Sensed
Distance. When complete, the Gap/Mark threshold, Paper Out Threshold, and the Sensed
Distance values the printer will use is changed. These value changes take effect immediately
within the current configuration menu.
This menu prompts the operator to manually insert just the liner (paper backing) for Gap sensing,
or the black bar (eye-mark) for Mark sensing. Ensure that either is underneath sensor prior to
pressing the ENTER key of the preinter's operator panel.
This menu prompts the operator to manually insert both the liner (paper backing) with label for
Gap sensing, or the black bar (eye-mark) with label for Mark sensing. Ensure that either is
underneath sensor prior to pressing the ENTER key of the preinter's operator panel.
Is the first menu screen of a sub-menu set within Sensor Setup of the ADVANCED MODE. The
sub-menu to follow determines if the printer will perform a self-test and automatic calibration
when the printer is powered on.
Allows determination of whether the printer will perform a self-test and automatic calibration when
the printer is powered on. If enabled, once the automatic calibration is complete, the printer will
momentarily display the determined Sensed Distance.
• Enable - factory default. Automatic calibration will be performed at power up initialization.
• Disable - automatic calibration will not be performed upon initialization.
