5.5 THRESHOLD SETTING

5.5.1

Outline of Threshold Setting

When a label is printed, the printer detects the gap between the labels using the transmissive
sensor, and corrects the print position automatically to obtain a constant print position.
However, when a preprinted label is used, some inks may prevent proper positioning correction.
In this case, determine the transmissive sensor threshold manually by key operation and store
the value in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
A constant print position can also be obtained when printing on a preprinted label since the print
position is always corrected using the threshold stored in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) by
selecting "3: Transmissive Sensor (when using the preprinted label)" for the sensor type of the
Issue Command.
When a label is printed by detecting the black mark on the back of the label, the reflective rate
variation of a place other than the black mark may prevent the proper positioning correction. In
this case, determine the reflective sensor threshold manually by key operation and store the
value in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
A constant print position can also be obtained when printing on a tag since the print position is
always corrected using the threshold stored in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) by selecting
"4: Reflective Sensor (when using a manual threshold value)" for the sensor type of the Issue
Command.
