5 Test Functions
5.9 Label Prole
Function not available at A2+ !
The Label prole function carries out a longer label advance. It saves the values measured by the label sensor
here and then prints them out in two diagrams. The printout is used to check label detection in conjunction with
the optical properties of the label medium. The printout occurs using the heat level and print speed specied in the
Setup > Print param. menu.
Notice!
The printout of the diagram occurs without taking the label gaps into consideration. This is why endless
media are most suitable for the printout.
Select the label sensor to be tested in the menu Setup > Print param. ( "4.1.3" on page 16).
Load the label medium to be tested into the printer.
Press the menu button.
Select Test > Label prole print menu.
Start the function with the button.
The printer performs a longer label advance. The label sensor measures the transparency/reection capacity of
the label material here. The message Test print OK appears in the display once the advance is complete.
Insert printable medium (labels, endless paper) which extends across the entire printing width.
If the printout is to occur using thermal transfer printing, insert transfer ribbon with the maximum width.
Start the diagram printout with the button.
The following gure shows an example label prole. The top diagram shows the gradient determined for label
detection. The rise (rst derivative) of the gradient is represented in the bottom diagram. The starting end of the label
is located at the point where the rise of the gradient exhibits a minimum (see vertical dotted line).
