Intro: Sensor Types
When making changes in this section, there are certain implications that need to be understood because
some menus are intimately related. For example, when the menu Sensors > Control > Gap/Mark Sensor is
changed, this has an effect on other menu defaults as shown in Table 2.

Sensors > Control > Gap/Mark Sensor
The available options specify the sensor type needed for detecting the
Top-of- Form position on media with label length indicators (gaps, notches,
holes, or black marks).
Disable
Select when using media with no label length
indicators (no gaps, notches, holes, or black marks), or
when you want the printer to ignore all existing label
length indicators on the installed media.
Mark
Select when using media that has horizontal black
marks located on the underside of the label liner or tag
stock. The Top-of-Form position is the leading edge of
the black mark.
Gap
An alternative to Advanced Gap. The Top-of-Form
position is the leading edge of the die cut label (trailing
edge of the gap, notch, or hole).
