1.2 Intended Use

• The devices are options only for cab SQUIX label printer to dispense of
material which approved by the manufacturer. Any other use or use going
beyond this shall be regarded as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier
shall not be liable for damage resulting from unauthorized use; the user
shall bear the risk alone.

• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or
service technicians.

Attention!

The use of a Present Sensor requires a printer model designed for
the peel-off mode (SQUIX 4P/4MP).

Internet.

1 Introduction

4 42 Product Description

In peel-off mode print jobs will by split in cycles with the following steps:

• A label will be printed, peeled-off from the liner and presented in the peel
position.
The print job stops.

• The label will be removed from the peel position.
Then depending on the printer settings a label backfeed will be carried
out. That way the front edge of the next label will be fed back ahead of the
printing line.

The cycle will be repeated till the end of the print job.

PS800

• Detection of labels in peel-off position by a

see-through sensor with xed sender.

• For SQUIX 4P with left-aligned material guide only.

• Distance between operating point of the sensor and
material edge 7 mm.

PS900

• Detection of labels in peel-off position by a horizontally

adjustable reective sensor.

• on SQUIX 4MP:
for all applications,
Distance between operating point of the sensor and
middle of the material 0 - 50 mm to the left.

• on SQUIX 4P:
for operating e.g. circular labels
Distance between operating point of the sensor and
material edge 9 - 59 mm

PS1000

• Detection of labels in peel-off position by a

see-through sensor with xed sender.

• For SQUIX 4MP with center-aligned material guide
only.

• Operating point of the sensor aligned to the middle of
the media.
