Label pitch _______________________________________________________LPIT
Distance between 2 labels on the label web, measured from leading edge to leading edge. The
distance could be set manual or an automatic length measurement is also possible. In case of
automatic mode the length is measured with the INIT function. This should be normally done,
so label material could be easy changed. Only under special condition the manual mode has to
be used.
There are three different modes:
AUTO Select automatic measuring mode
A111 The automatic mode is on and a distance of 111 mm was measured
M111 The manual mode is selected and a length of 111 mm was entered.
Range: AUTO or 5 ... 999 mm.
Label contrast __________________________________________________ CONT
With this function the sensitivity of the standard label sensor could be adjusted. If AUTO is

labels. In case of another type of sensor (mechanical or capacitive) the setting has to be
manual.
There are three different modes:
AUTO Select automatic measuring mode
A111 The automatic mode is on and a contrast of 111 was measured
M111 The manual mode is selected and a contrast of 111 was entered.
Range: AUTO or 1 ... 200.
