Chapter 2 QUICK SETUP Menu
• Gap. Select when using media with a liner space between
die cut labels or when using tag stock with notches or holes as label
length indicators on white background media. The
top-of-form position is the leading edge of the die cut label (trailing edge
of the gap, notch, or hole).
• Advanced Gap. Select when using media that has liner gaps between
die cut labels with black background. The top-of-form position is the
leading edge of the die cut label (trailing edge of the gap, notch, or hole).
• Advanced Notch. Select when using media with notches or holes that
interrupt a black vertical line on the underside of the media. The top-of-
form position is the leading edge of the die cut label (trailing edge of the
gap, notch, or hole).
The default is Disable.
Gap Sensing for Smart Labels
If your smart labels have a horizontal black bar located within each liner gap,
set Gap/Mark Sensor to Gap. When you examine a Media Profile printout,
you will see that the black bar provides a much higher amplitude pulse than
that of any antenna, which will provide excellent top-of-form reliability.
If your smart labels have no horizontal black bar located within each liner gap,
you must choose between Gap and Advanced Gap sensing. Run an Auto
Calibrate (page 21), then make a Media Profile printout. Choose the sensing
type that provides the highest liner gap amplitude compared to the amplitude
of the antenna line. If you select Gap sensing, and then see that the Media
Profile printout shows very little amplitude difference for the liner gap
compared to the amplitude of the antenna line, select Advanced Gap sensing
instead.
Advanced Gap sensing (often called transmissive) uses an LED array for the
upper sensor and a receiver in the lower sensor to detect infrared light
through the liner gap. This sensing has the advantage of detecting the liner
gap as a positive amplitude pulse and the antenna line as a smaller, negative
pulse.
Save Config.
Allows you to save up to eight unique configurations to meet different print job
requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for
each new job. The configurations are stored in memory and will not be lost if
you turn off the printer.
The default is 1.
Power-Up Config.
You can specify the Factory configuration or any one of the eight possible
saved configurations as the power-up configuration.
The default is Factory.
