Heat-shrink tubing
Question Answer Explanation
Back to the table of contents
I am using a Pro series LabelStation to print on heat-shrink tubing and I have fitted the plastic guides to centre the tubing. Why does the red error light illuminate persistently? Calibrate the Gap Sensor.

Ensure that LabelDirect is set to ‘Continuous’ (as opposed to ‘Gap’).

Note that heat-shrink tubing does not pass under the Gap Sensor when the plastic guides are used, making sensor recalibration necessary.
I am using a Pro series printer with narrow heat-shrink tube and I cannot centre the tubing because the label guides don’t come close enough together.  How can I remedy this? Fit the heat-shrink tube guides (Tube guides loose.jpg), order code: Q-LSTGUIDE.
