Label Stop Sensor

EasyCoder PM4i Printer User's Guide (Fingerprint Version)
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 (For help, see "Setting
Up the Printer" on page 51.) 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 from the inner edge of the media
path and 57 mm (2.24 in) outwards, which corresponds to the
centerline of full width media. There is one part of the sensor on
top of the upper media guide and another part underneath the
lower guide. Using a straight-slot screwdriver, turn the
adjustment screw until the point of detection on the upper sensor
becomes aligned with the center of the slots or marks in the
media, when you look into the print mechanism from the front
with the printhead lifted.
• Rotate the screw clockwise to move the sensor towards the
center section.
• Rotate the screw counterclockwise to move the sensor
outwards, away from the center section.
