EO18-33027 6. ON LINE MODE 6.1 THRESHOLD SETTING 6.1 THRESHOLD SETTING When a label is printed, the printer detects the gap between the labels using the transmissive sensor, and corrects the print position automatically to obtain a constant print position. However, when a preprinted label is used, some inks may prevent proper positioning correction. In this case, determine the transmissive sensor threshold manually by key operation and store the value in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).

RFID ANALYZE TOOL When an RFID module is installed, the printer will be able to write data on an RFID tag as well as print data on the surface of the RFID-tag embedded label. To properly issue RFID tags, it may be necessary to adjust the RFID tag position so that it stops just above the antenna of the RFID module. A proper adjustment value is obtained by using RFID Analyze Tool. following conditions.
