The label stop sensor (LSS) is a photoelectric sensor that controls
the printer's paper feed by detecting gaps between labels, slots
in paper strip, or black marks, depending on the printer's setup
in regard of media type (see chapter 7 "Setting Up the Printer").
A prerequisite is obviously that the LSS is aligned with the slots
or black marks.
The label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) can be laterally adjusted
within a range of 0 to 50 mm (1.96") from the inner edge of the
paper by means of a screw accessible through the outer lower gable.
Turning the screw clockwise will move the LSS inwards and vice
versa. The position of the LSS in relation to the paper is best checked
by looking head on into the print unit when the printhead is lifted.
Align the centrepoint of the V-shaped upper sensor with the centre
of the slots or marks to be detected.
The linear markings on the lower guide plate can also be used for
positioning of the LSS as they are spaced with an interval of exactly
1 cm (0.39") from the edge that guides the paper. This method is
especially useful for black marks (measure the lateral position of the
black marks with a ruler before loading the paper).
If using irregularly shaped labels, align the LSS with the front
tips of the labels.
