(2) Transparent sensor (SA TRA Sen PCB) and reflective sensor (SA Ref Sensor
PCB)
The transparent sensor and the reflective sensor are used together to detect labels stuck on
the liner or U-shaped notches on tag. On the other hand, the reflective sensor alone is used to
detect black marks printed on the bottom surface of tag. Both sensors are also used to detect
the media end.
The upper side transparent sensor is the phototransistor, and the lower side reflective sensor
consists of 2 LEDs and 1 phototransistor. Media passes between these sensors.
Transparent sensor and reflective sensor (for detecting labels or U-shaped notches):
When the portion of the liner where no label stuck on it passes between both sensors, the light
emitted from the reflective sensor’s LEDs reaches the transparent sensor, passing through the
liner only. Thus, the transparent sensor (phototransistor) conducts and the voltage
corresponding to the amount of light is applied to pin 96 (SNSTRA) of the CPU (U1A).
Meanwhile, when the portion of the liner where the label stuck on it passes between both
sensors, the light is blocked by the label and the transparent sensor (phototransistor) turns
OFF. Thus, pin 96 (SNSTRA) of the CPU goes to “Low” level. From these levels, the CPU can
detect the arrival of the label leading edge. When media runs out, since the light emitted from
the LEDs directly falls on the transparent sensor continuously, media end can be detected. In
this case, pin 96 (SNSTRA) of the CPU will go to “High” level.
