Label Stop Sensor

Detection Slots
Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – User's Guide
The label stop 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"). The LSS should 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 label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) can be moved laterally
within a range of 0 to 50 mm (0 to 1.96 inches) from the inner
edge of the media path. There is a screw running through the
outer lower gable. Turning the screw clockwise will move the
LSS inwards and vice versa. The position of the LSS in relation
to the media is best checked by looking head on into the print
unit when the printhead is raised. Align the centerpoint of the
V-shaped upper sensor with the center of the slots or marks to
be detected.
The linear markings on the lower guide plate can also be used
for positioning of the LSS because they are spaced with an
interval of exactly 1 cm (0.39 inches.) This method is especially
useful for black marks (measure the lateral position of the black
marks with a ruler before loading the media.)
