The printer sensing for standard media uses transmissive (see-through) sensing. Transmissive (area) sensing does not work out of the default sensing position.
The movable sensor for web/gap sensing supports multiple positions.
The movable sensor’s Default position is ideal for most label types.
The adjustment range is from the center to maximum right positions which are ideal for printing two labels side by side on a roll.
The movable sensor adjustment range covers sensor positions used 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.
