Conditions That Trigger Label Near End; Conditions That Trigger Ribbon End; Conditions That Trigger Ribbon Near End - SATO CL4NX Operator's Manual

If there are multiple sheets between the print head and paper end sensor when a paper end error
is detected, a paper end error will occur only after finishing the label currently being printed.
(1) Print head position
(2) Paper end sensor
(3) Amount of media remaining
(4) Amount of printing remaining

Conditions That Trigger Label Near End

Label near end is detected by the label near end sensor.
Label near end occurs when the amount of label remaining is less than approximately 12 meters (39.4
feet) (media thickness: 160 μm (0.0063"), label diameter: approximately φ96 mm (3" core)).
• This feature is supported on printers from serial number 6B~ and above. Although this
setting appears on printers with serial number 6A~ or below, it is not supported.
• Detection of the label near end is only for reference. The timing of label near end and
paper end may overlap, or the paper end may occur before the label near end occurs
depending on the label thickness and the top and bottom fluttering of the paper core.

Conditions That Trigger Ribbon End

Ribbon end error is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. Ribbon end error
occurs when the printer detects that the ribbon in the ribbon supply spindle has not moved (rolled)
more than 15 mm (0.59") after feeding the media.

Conditions That Trigger Ribbon Near End

Ribbon near end is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. Ribbon near end
occurs when the amount of ribbon remaining is approximately less than 15 meters (49.2 feet) (ribbon
diameter: approximately 36 mm (1.42")).
• The amount of ribbon remaining (15 meters (49.2 feet)) is only for reference. The
timing of ribbon near end varies depending on the ribbon thickness and the reading
status of the ribbon sensor.
