REFERENC EDGE
This parameter defines the edge of the label that must be used for label alignment.
Value “00“ selects leading edge, and “01” trailing edge.
Two cases of a meaningful set up:
Fig. 6-4
a) The choice of a straight label edge may result in more precise positioning than the edge of
odd shape labels (see Fig.6.4).
Fig. 6-5
b) If the distance between the photo sensor and the desired edge position is an integer multiple
of the label pitch, the ALPHA V40 is not able for a stable detection. In this special case the
reference edge stops exactly under the photo sensor (there is a +/- 1 mm dead zone).
Avoiding this, change the value to “01” (see Fig. 6.5).
