Continuous, Black mark or with Inter-Label Gap and click
Submit.

• Click a test page to print it.
Sensor Threshold
Values • Trigger the printer to run a length (about 1m or 40”) of
labels while it records the reading of the gap/mark
sensor. At the end of the run, a comma delimited text
(.csv) file is generated. (See
Interpreting the Gap/Mark
Sensor Readings on page 42)
• Save and import this file into MS Excel or any
spreadsheet to chart the readings. This is useful for
evaluating if there is sufficient contrast (between the
gap/mark and label) for the printer to detect the
inter-gap/black mark reliably and help with adjusting the
sensor threshold to improve the detection.
• The user needs to open the clamshell and remove the
labels from the printer after each test run. (See Clearing
a Media Jam on page 70)
