Body | Note: This information can be found on page 15 of the J4000 user manual: J4000 User Manual and Quick Start Guide Adjusting the J4000 Gap SensorIf you are using circular die-cut labels or through-hole supply, use the instructions below to adjust the position of the gap sensor. The sensor can be adjusted using the slide bar on the inside of the printer. Below the slide bar is a measurement which represents the distance between the edge of the supply and the sensor. Measure the distance from the edge of the supply to the correct position on the label. Set the sensor so that the side of the slide bar lines up to this measurement. See dashed line in the figure below. The slide can be found by opening the cover and viewing from the back of the printer.
IMPORTANT! The gap sensor slide must be adjusted when loading irregular shaped labels.
 Circular Label SupplyWhen using circular supply, adjust the gap 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 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 supply that has multiple labels across make sure the sensor corresponds to a place on the supply that has a label and not a vertical gap.
The gap sensor can only be moved a maximum of 2 inches from the left side of the printable area. Which means that the maximum diameter circular label that can be printed is 4 inches. For supply larger than 4 inches in diameter, you must have a black mark printed on the back of the supply and change the supply sensor mode to reflective. The printer will now look for the black mark representing the beginning of the next label instead of the die-cut. For more information see: setting the suppply sensor mode. Set gap sensor to 1 1/8" for 2" circular label (1/8" liner edge gap).
 Through-hole SupplyIf you are using card stock or supply that has a hole punch or a notch to identify a transition from backing to label, you can adjust the supply sensor to position it over the identifying mark. |
