 ===== Additional method to manually force the printer to sense the gap =====
-There is a way to have the Zebra TLP2844 printer recalculate the gap sensor, that should work for many of the other zebra models as well. It is to turn off the printer, then turn it back on while holding the Feed button. You need to let go of the feed button as soon as the light starts flashing red. The printer will do a bunch of feeding and detecting of the gaps. This will fix some problems up.
+These procedures are to be run when the Zebra printer fails to sense the gap in the labels.
+Use only the labels provided by [[http://www.zebra.com/|Zebra Technologies Corporation]].
+Turn off the printer using the rear power switch. While holding the red light button down, turn the printer power switch back on.  Release the depressed red button as soon as the power comes on.  The printer will perform a calibration and the red button should change to a green glow.
+There is a big distinction between the Zebra printer and Z Designer. Make sure you're using the correct driver and printer.
