Label Stop Sensor

The label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) is a photoelectric sensor that
controls the printer's media feed by detecting gaps between labels, or slots
or black marks in continuous stock, depending on the printer's setup
in regard of media type (see Chapter 6, "Setting Up the Printer"). An
obvious prerequisite is that the LSS must be aligned with the gaps, slots,
or black marks. If using-irregularly shaped labels, align the LSS with the
front tips of the labels.
The LSS can be moved laterally between 5 fi xed positions. There is one
part of the sensor on top of the upper media guide and another part
underneath the lower guide. These must be adjusted individually to the
same position. Using a small screwdriver, push them inwards as far as
they go and then pull them out—one at the time—while counting the
clicks from the snap-locks. A hole in the bottom plate facilitates adjust-
ment of the lower sensor package.
The various detection points of the sensor in relation to the inner edge of
the media are as follows:
One click out
Two clicks out
Three clicks out
Four clicks out
Five clicks out
