Printer Configuration
Mark Sensing Mark Sensing
Front
Possible Values: Front*, Back, Gap (Back* for LP Models)
Mark Sensing is used to identify form or label position marking and must be set to match the media being used.
The use of Black Mark or Gap sensing is associated with the design of the application program that is
controlling the printer. For more information on Black Mark or Gap sensing, please refer to the MtP400 Series
Programmer’s Manual.
Note: This feature is only available in MtP400 LP models.
Mark Sensitivity Mark Sensitivity
0
Possible Values: -10 …0* …+10
This feature allows the Black Mark/Paper sensor to be adjusted to allow for variations in media materials and
Black Mark printing methods. The following list will help determine if, and how, the Mark Sensitivity should
be adjusted.
• If the printer is not detecting black marks reliably, set the Mark Sensitivity to a lower value.
• If the printer is detecting false Check Paper conditions, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
• If the printer is detecting black marks where none exist, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
Gap Sensitivity Gap Sensitivity
0
Possible Values: -10 …0* …+10
This feature is used to adjust the sensing of gaps between labels when using precut labels that are provided on a
removable backing. The following method should be used to adjust the gap sensor.
• If the printer is not detecting gaps between labels reliably, set the Gap Sensitivity to a higher value.
• If the printer is detecting gaps where none exist, set the Gap Sensitivity to a lower value.
Note: This feature is only available in MtP400 LP models.
Tear to Mark Distance Tear to Mark Dst
0.0000”
Possible Values: -0.7092” …0.0000”* …1.7927”
This feature is used to set the distance from the tear position on the paper/labels to the black mark. If the tear
position is above the black mark, the value is negative. If the tear position is below the black mark, the value is
positive.
