The gap sensor is used to sense the start of each label so the printer knows where to start printing. With most square or rectangular media the default position of 0.3" from the left edge is sufficient to accurately detect the gaps between each label. However, when printing to other shapes such as circles you need to adjust the gap sensor to intersect with the leading edge of the label. This video explains the process to find and adjust the gap sensor on a Primera Color Label Printer LX910 or LX3000. Other LX series printers have gap sensors that are at different locations. The gap sensor uses LED lights and light (photo) sensors to detect the difference between light shining through the media. More light passes through the liner only (the gaps) than through the liner + the label. The difference in light detection can be used to determine the start of the label.
If labels are printing horizontally offset, try the solutions in this article: Labels are printing horizontally offset (left to right). The image is printing too far to the left or right. The LX series printer decides where to start printing by ...
Continuous Media is label stock that has no black mark, die-cut, or through-hole. When ordering custom label stock, you may select the continuous check box. However, this is not a typical option to select. Only the width applies to continuous ...
The printer will skip one label before printing for the first time after loading a new roll of label stock. This is to prevent jamming of labels and cannot be disabled. The printer should not skip labels between consecutive print jobs. If the printer ...
Labels must be "wound out" for all Primera Printers and Applicators! Orientation depends on the type of container you are using. For the AP362/360: most round containers will use Copy Position 3 or 4. For the AP550: containers can be rotated to ...
