• No offset: 0.0mm
• Minimum offset against feed direction: -5.0 mm
Punch mode
Determine whether the sensor threshold level is set manually or automatically.
Automatic Use this setting for materials with a contrast zone or gap in the label.
Automatic is the default setting, suitable for all materials with which there is a
difference in the transparency between the product and gap of more than 2 values
Manual Use this setting for materials with several varying contrast zones.
Settings are made using the parameter PRINT PARAMETER > Punch level.
The range of the value automatically measured by the gap detection can be defined
specifically for the product material. This allows materials with high-contrast proof
points within the product to be processed, which would otherwise be measured as
'false' gaps by the system. The corresponding setting value is then equal to, or smaller
than, the value measured at the actual gap.
Punch level
Only shown if PRINT PARAMETERS > Punch mode is set to Manual mode. The
screen displays in real-time the current sensing value of the photoelectric sensor, and
allows for a default threshold to be manually set.
xxx Setting range: 0 to 255; Unit interval: 1
The value xxx stands for the current sensing value within the photoelectric switch
of the material which has just been inserted.
yyy Setting range: 0 to 255; Unit interval: 1
The value yyy stands for the current threshold level the sensor will use.
Example of correctly setting the threshold level:
Self-adhesive material with black bars lengthways across the label
• Reading:
– Masking paper: 30
– Masking paper + label: 60
– Masking paper + label + black bars: 190
• Setting value: 20
A setting value of 20 means that all readings over 20 are considered product,
therefore the printer will not see the differences between the labels.
• Setting value: 100
A setting value of 100 means that all readings over 100 are considered product,
therefore the printer will consider the black bars as the product, and nothing else.
• Setting value: 50
