Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Printer
54 EasyCoder PD42 Printer User’s Guide
If you are having detection problems, you can test the LSS in
Setup mode. The tests can determine if the sensor unit is not in
position, if it is blocked by dust or stuck labels, or is defective in
some way. There are two test functions:
• LSS Auto – this is the standard function for checking that the
label stop sensor works properly and is able to detect gaps,
slots and black marks.
• LSS Manual – shows the sensor setting established by the
latest Testfeed. It is also possible to try other settings. LSS
Manual is intended for service and is not described in this
document.
To run the LSS Auto test function
1 Check that the printer is correctly set up for the type of media
loaded in the printer (Setup () > Media > Media Type).
2 Press Testfeed ().
3 Make sure that there is a label–not a gap or mark–at the
sensor (“point of detection” as described above)
4 Check that the media runs as close to the center of the printer
as the guides allow.
5 Press Setup ().
