AutoSense, Configuration Label and Dump Mode

AutoSense sets the sensitivity of the transmissive (gap) sensor, measures and stores the form (label) and gap lengths.  For more details on media sensing and sensors see Top of Form Sensing.  To activate the AutoSense feature:

  1. Load labels into the printer.  Verify that the reflective sensor's location (red light) is under the transmissive sensor for label mode operations. (Click here for diagram)
  2. Turn OFF printer power.  Set Batch mode.  Do not use the peel mode.
  3. Press and hold the FEED button while turning ON printer power.
  4. Release the FEED button when the status indicator begins to flash and the label will begin to advance.
  5. The printer will advance 3-4 labels while performing the sensor adjustment.  When the adjustment is complete, a status summary label will be printed and the printer will be placed in Diagnostic Dump mode.
  6. Press the FEED button to exit the Dump mode. Remove excess labels.
