OUTLINE EO10-33013B 1.5 ELECTRONICS SPECIFICATIONS Feed gap sensor (Transmissive sensor) This sensor detects the difference in potential between the backing paper and the label to find the print position of the label. The feed gap sensor is located at 8 mm to the right of the black mark sensor.
  • Page 15 1. OUTLINE EO10-33013B 1.5 ELECTRONICS SPECIFICATIONS (5) Slit sensor (Transmissive sensor) This sensor detects the rotation count of the ribbon shaft and the ribbon motors. The ribbon motors torque works to take up slack in the ribbon and is dependent on the detected count. The slit sensor is a photo coupler combining an LED and a transistor.

    Detail specifications and other information on the media and ribbon are described in Supply Manual by model. It is issued by and sent from TOSHIBA TEC H.Q (Sales Division) upon release of new model or manual's revision. When purchasing the supplies locally, be sure to refer to the Supply Manual for details.
  • Page 18 When marking black marks on the label rolls, they should be marked at the gaps. “On the fly issue” means that the printer can feed and print without stopping between labels. There are restrictions in use of the media which is narrower than 50 mm. For details, refer to TOSHIBA TEC Head Quarters.

SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS EO10-33013B (Revision Date: Apr. 24, 2008) 2.4 SPECIFICATION OF RFID TAG (for B-9704-RFID-U1-US/EU-R, H1-QM-R) 2.4.3 Location of RFID Tag The location of an RFID tag on a label influences on the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. It is impossible to define the one best location for every RFID tag on labels because the best location depends on the type of RFID tag and RFID tag antenna.
  • Page 24 An RFID tag chip or the print head may be damaged when the print head passes over the chip. This can be prevented by using the ribbon saving module (standard feature for the B-SX5T and optional for the B-SX4T). The print head is lifted by the ribbon saving module when it passes over the chip to prevent it from touching the chip.
