Troubleshooting and Maintenance

backing, try label stock that has a black mark on the back

to show where the label begins. You will need to change

the Stock Sensor Mode in the Status Monitor.

3. Insufficient Label Gap Distance. See Section 2A for label

specifications.

4. Page Size is Bigger than Label Stock Size. If the page size

set in the driver is larger than the actual label stock, ink

will be printed on the gaps and the sensor will start

looking for a gap too late. This can cause label skipping

or inconsistent print starting points.

5. Portrait / Landscape. If the Portrait / Landscape setting

does not correspond to the label stock installed this will

also cause the printer to print over the gap and onto the

next label. Make sure this is set correctly.

6. Stock

Sensor Position

. Circular, nonstandard label shapes

or multiple labels across will require precise adjustment of

the label sensor. If you are using circular or other non

rectangular die-cut labels see Section 2C for instructions.

Three things can affect this issue.
Label Stock Loading. It is very important to correctly load the

label stock so that there is no space between the throat guides

and the label liner edge. If there is a gap between the throat

guides and the label stock it may "walk" back and forth

causing inconsistent horizontal printing. See section 2B for

label stock loading instructions and tips.
Left Margin Offset. This adjustment is found on the

Alignment tab of the PTStatus monitor. See Section 4D.
