Label eye sensor for detecting label gaps and black marks. Sensor can be moved manually
along the 2 rods (indicated with yellow arrow on picture above).
Requirements for the format of the blackmarks are the same as for label gaps as
blackmarks practically act as label gaps. Due to inter-page actions the printed labels
require:
• Minimum 2.2 mm high blackmarks at 6 IPS mode (height measured according to print
direction)
• Minimum 3 mm high blackmarks at 12 IPS mode (height measured according to print
direction)
Gap size and speeds
The minimum gap size and print speed have a dependency due to the image processing in the
printhead. Therefore, we recommend these minimum gap size settings:
Note: The complexity of the image may also influence this. A very simple bar code image may
allow for shortened gap sizes.
The T2-C press will display an error in the 'Error'-field: 'Missed TOF or datapath underrun' if this
occurs.
