Use Hold Print Sensor: TSP100IV SK Online Manual

Use Hold Print Sensor

TSP100IV SK is equipped with the hold print sensor.

The hold print sensor detects whether the printed label is removed from the paper exit of the printer.

When the hold print sensor is enabled, printing of the next label will not start until the printed label is removed.
The next label printing is possible after the printed label is removed.

This function prevents troubles, such as consecutively printed labels being stuck to each other.

The default setting for the hold print sensor function is “Enabled”.
It is recommended to use the device with the function “Enabled” to prevent troubles such as paper jamming.

If you want to continuously print without holding papers, set the hold print sensor to “Disabled” by referring to the procedure described below.

Caution

If you print consecutively with the hold print sensor function set to “Disabled”, a trouble may occur, such as the ejected labels becoming stuck to each other or a label sticking to the printer or mounting surface.
Be sure to fully verify operation before beginning actual use.
