Youcanrunalengthoflabels(about1mor40”)torecord
thereadingsoftheGap/Marksensorwithoutactually
printing.
TheprinterwilloutputaCommaDelimitedText(.csv)file
containingthemeasurements.Youcanthenplotthese
readingsandanalyzeifthereissufficientcontrastforthe
printertoreliablydetecttheinter‐gap/blackmark.Youmay
thenadjustthesensitivityofthesensortoimprovethe
detection.
Followthesequencebelowtorunthetest,
1. SelecttheTestmediatype.
2. Specifythelengthofthelabel(min.1”)andclickSubmit
toapplythevalue.
3. Loadthemedia.
4. ClickTESTforrunthetest.
5. Savetheresulting.csvfileandimportintoMSExcelor
anyspreadsheettoplotthereadingchart.Alternatively,
youmayalsoclickon
GRAPHtoplotthereadingsover
thelengthofthemedia.
