1.7 Product sensor setup
The Linx 8900 printer can use a product sensor to detect the presence of the product.
Normally, the message is printed when the printer receives a trigger signal from the
product sensor.
Figure 3. Product sensor setup
Normally, the product passes the product sensor first, then the printhead. The distance
between the printhead and the product sensor must be less than the distance between the
products.
Figure 3 shows the product sensor (A) and the printhead (B). The arrow shows the direction
of movement of the product along the production line.
The Print Delay parameter controls the distance between the product sensor and the
printed message. For information on how to adjust the Print Delay, see ‘Print Delay’ on
page 76.
