Circular Labels
If you are using Circular Labels you must adjust the Stock
sensor to correspond with the very top of the label where the
circles are closest together. If the sensor is too far to the right or
the left the printer will still sense the label but the image may
be offset downward because the printer will start printing at
the wrong position. If you are using stock that has multiple
labels across make sure the sensor corresponds to a place on
the stock that has a label and not a vertical gap.
Through Hole Labels
If you are using card stock or label stock that has a hole punch
or a notch to identify a transition from backing to label, you
can adjust the Sensor Bar to position it over the identifying
mark.
The Sensor Bar has a guide in inches and milimeters that will
help you identify where to set the bar to align the sensor over
any identifying mark or top of a circular shape. To do this,
measure the distance from the edge of the label stock to
the correct position on the stock. Set the sensor bar to this
measurement. For example, if you have a two inch circular
die-cut label, measure from the edge of the label stock to the
center of the circle. For this example it should be about
1 1/8 inches. Set the Sensor Bar to this value.
