Accurately Detecting the Start of a Label

If you experience problems such as the printer skipping labels or the printer
stopping and the yellow LED flashing, you may need to adjust the label gap
sensor. You are most likely to experience any of these problems if you are using
very narrow label stock and the label gap sensor is not in the correct position.
You can adjust the label gap sensor from 0 to 1.0 inch from the inboard edge of
the printer.
Note: Intermec positions the label gap sensor 0.5 inch from the inboard edge of the
printer at the factory. You should be able to leave it in this position for most labels
wider than 1.0 inch.
To adjust the label gap sensor
1. Remove the media cover.
2. Turn the label gap sensor knob counterclockwise and slide the sensor all of
the way to the inboard edge of the lower media guide.
3. Tear off one of the labels from your roll of media and line it up with the 0
(zero) on the lower media guide.
4. Slide the label gap sensor knob to the position where the label gap sensor
indicator (the tab on the label gap sensor that is visible from the top of the
lower media guide) is in the middle of the label.
Here are some guidelines for you to follow:
•
If your labels are less than 1.0 inch wide, position the label gap sensor in
the middle of the label.
•
If your labels are greater than 1.0 inch wide, position the label gap
sensor over the straight edge of the label that comes out the front of the
printer.
•
If your labels are round, position the label gap sensor over the middle of
the radius edge.
5. Turn the label gap sensor knob clockwise to secure it in the new position.
