Adjusting the Movable Sensor for Web (Gap) Sensing

The movable sensor for web/gap sensing supports multiple positions.

The movable sensor’s default position is ideal for printing on most label types.

The adjustment range is from center to off-center positions. This adjustment is ideal for printing two labels side by side on a roll.

The movable sensor adjustment range covers sensor positions use by legacy Zebra printers.

Web (gap) sensing with the movable sensor only functions when the movable sensor’s alignment arrow points to any position on the alignment key.

1	Alignment key
2	Alignment arrow (default position)
3	Default gap sensing position
4	Center line

1	Center-aligned sensing position
2	Default sensing position
3	Maximum right sensing position

The following are Zebra printer fixed sensor position relative to a ZD Series printer:

Default — Zebra models G-Series fixed-position sensors: LP/TLP 2842, LP/TLP 2844, and LP/TLP 2042

Center aligned — Zebra model LP/TLP 2742
