4.6.2 Label Alignment = AUTO
In this mode, the printer automatically calculates the ‘ALIGN LENGTH’ thus eliminating the need to physically measure
the label. This mode is usually preferred in applications that require frequent media changes to labels of different lengths.
To perform an Auto Alignment, in Normal Mode press and hold the
FEED
button (about 4 seconds). The printer will
feed labels to calculate the label length. Following the calculation, the printer will save the measurement and align to the
top of form position. Auto Alignment can result in wasted labels during the measurement process (the longer the label
length the greater the waste).
Auto Alignment with the Present Sensor enabled:
If the printer is equipped with the Present Sensor option and that feature is enabled, while the label length is calculated the
printer will pause and illuminate the
STOP
light after each movement. The operator must press the
PAUSE button for the
alignment to continue. This allows the operator to remove any labels as required; however, labels should not be forcibly
removed since they may not actually be positioned for removal, but at an interim position required for measurement.
4.6.3 Label Alignment = NO
When Label Alignment is not enabled (i.e., set to NO), printing begins at the current label position without alignment,
assuming the label is at the start of print position. Additionally, if the label length is short, labels between the printhead and
the media sensor may be unused.
