The media sensor looks for the gap, notch, hole, or black mark only after
the media has advanced the distance specified by the Label Length value
in the MEDIA SETUP menu or by the Host Forms Length value sent via
the software. Any gaps, notches, holes, or black marks that exist prior to
reaching the Label Length or Host Forms Length value are ignored.

NOTE: When Clip Page = Disable, the correct Label Length value must be
entered. If the value is too long, the printer will ignore the actual gap
or mark it needs to detect. When using Gap sensing, the Label
Length value is equal to the physical length of a die cut or removable
label. When using Mark sensing, the Label Length value is the
physical distance from the leading edge of one black mark to the
leading edge of the next black mark.

NOTE: When Fault Reprint is set to Enable and a RIBBON OUT condition
occurs, some labels may not reprint. This depends on the label
length, print speed selected, and the additional time it takes to detect
this condition. Be sure to verify that all labels were reprinted after a
RIBBON OUT condition by using the Ribbon Low indicator as
described on page 82.
