* The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label. ** This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness. 1. The ability for the printer to pull the paper through the print area. 2. The ability for the sensor to read through the backing if the sensor is set to die-cut. If you are printing in continuous or reflective label sensing mode number 2 does not apply. The fact that the printer must read...

Circular Labels If you are using Circular Labels you must adjust the TOF sensor to correspond with the very top of the label where the circles are closest together. If the sensor is too far to the right or the left the printer will still sense the label, but the image may be offset downward because the printer will start printing at the wrong position. If you are using stock that has multiple labels across make sure the sensor corresponds to a place on the stock that has a label and not a vertical gap. The sensor can only be moved a maximum of 2.3 inches (58.4mm) from the left side of the printable...
