Adjusting the Label Stop Sensor

28
The label stop sensor (LSS) controls the media feed by detecting
gaps between labels, or slots or black marks in continuous stock.
For best results, the LSS should be aligned with the gaps, slots, or
black marks, or with the front tips of irregularly shaped labels.
To adjust the label stop sensor
• Turn the LSS adjusting screw clockwise to move the LSS
towards the back wall of the media compartment, or
counterclockwise to move away from the back wall. Move the
LSS until the center point of the upper sensor is aligned with
the center of the gaps or slots to be detected.

media
Positioning the Label Stop Sensor: Align the center point of the upper
sensor with the gaps to be detected. The printhead is omitted here for
clarity.
You can also position the LSS by using the linear markings on
the lower guide plate as a reference. The markings are 1 cm
(.4 in) apart. This method is especially useful for black marks.
Measure the lateral position of the marks before loading the
media, and adjust the LSS accordingly.
