About the Label Waste Prevention Function

The Label Waste Prevention function allows you to print on the first label by aligning the loaded label with the print start position. This allows you to prevent waste of labels that occurs by feeding several blank labels to align positions.

When the Label Waste Prevention function is enabled, the icon is displayed in the Online/Offline screen.

This function is executed at the following times.

•	The first time the product changes to Online mode after being powered on

•	When the product changes to Online mode after the top cover is opened/closed

Setting Method

On the [SETTINGS] menu, use [Tools] > [Media Startup] or [Media Profiles Registration] to batch set the settings related to the Label Waste Prevention function.

If you are using only one type of media, use [Media Startup] to do the settings.

If you are using multiple types of media, first use [Media Profiles Registration] to register a profile for each media. After that, apply the profile for the media you are using to the product.

Adjusting the Label Top Sensor

With the Label Waste Prevention function, the label top sensor, which is located at the media discharge outlet, detects the leading edge of the media and aligns the media to the print start position.

If the print start position is misaligned, try adjusting the position and sensitivity of the label top sensor.

•	Adjusting the Position of the Sensor

[Printing] > [Advanced] > [Adjustments] > [Label Top Sensor]

•	Adjusting the Sensitivity of the Sensor

[Printing] > [Advanced] > [Calibrate] > [Auto-calibration] > [Label Top]
