Adjustment of the Lateral Position
The label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) can be laterally adjusted
within a range of 0 to 50 mm (1.96 inches) from the inner edge
of the media path by means of a screw accessible 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 as they are spaced with an interval of
exactly 1 cm (0.39 inches) from the edge that guides the media.
This method is especially useful for black marks (measure the lat-
eral position of the black marks with a ruler before loading the
media.)
If using irregularly shaped labels, align the LSS with the front tips
of the labels.
