LABEL SENSING The OKIPOS X400 printers can use eye-mark (black bar), gap or notch label sensing. The gap and notch sensor is a transmissive or see-thru type with an infrared light source directed through the label from above and detected by a separate sensor underneath the label. A reflective sensor is used to detect eye-marks printed on the 9

PRINTER CONFIGURATION
The OKIPOS X400 printers are different from other OKI models in that they do not use DIP switches for printer
configuration. Instead, all printer configuration is done via software commands. The parameters that can be
configured are:
z

z
Protocol Codes
z
Print Darkness Range

RS232 Parameters
z
Label Tear-Off Position

Backfeed Enable/Disable
Because there are no DIP switches to indicate the current printer settings, a Test Label can be printed that lists
the active settings in the printer. This Test Label lists all of the information a user needs to ascertain the printer
configuration. Test Labels can be printed out by sending a command by software (see page 92) or by using the
FEED button (see User’s Guide).
LABEL SENSING
The OKIPOS X400 printers can use eye-mark (black bar), gap or notch label sensing. The gap and notch sensor
is a transmissive or see-thru type with an infrared light source directed through the label from above and
detected by a separate sensor underneath the label. A reflective sensor is used to detect eye-marks printed on the
