Overview
The GP1A05 is a slot-type optical limit and position sensor (a photo-interrupter) used as a home or travel-limit switch on compatible DTF and eco-solvent printers. A flag or tab passing through the slot breaks an infrared beam so the printer can tell where the carriage or mechanism is.
- Part number GP1A05, offered in LC and HR versions
- 5 V DC slot-type optical sensor
- 0.20 in (5 mm) sensing gap
- 3-pin connector
LC and HR are not interchangeable. Match the version printed on your current sensor before you order. If you're not sure this is the right replacement, contact our team with your printer model or a photo of the sensor.

Compatibility
The LC and HR versions have opposite output logic (LC is normally closed; HR is normally open) and are not interchangeable. Choose the version that matches the LC or HR marking on the sensor you are replacing, and confirm the connector and 5 V supply.
These sensors are commonly used as carriage home or travel-limit sensors on DTF printers and on many wide-format and eco-solvent printers, including machines in the Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh families and various other DTF and inkjet frames. Some 14 in and 24 in DTF printers, and models such as the DTF-19H2i and DTF-30H2, are specified with the LC version. Always confirm against the part already on your machine.
Printers, wiring, and connectors vary. If you're not sure, send your printer model and a photo of the current sensor through our contact page before you order.
Installation tips
- Power the printer off and unplug it before you start.
- Note the version marking (LC or HR) and the orientation of the sensor you are removing, including which way the slot and connector face.
- This sensor runs on 5 V DC only. Do not connect it to a different voltage, and do not guess the pin order.
- Seat the 3-pin connector fully without forcing it. Keep ink, dust, and cleaning liquid out of the optical slot.
- Make sure the interrupting flag or tab can pass freely through the slot without hitting the housing.
- After install, power on and test homing or travel limits carefully before you run a job.
- If you're not comfortable replacing printer electronics, have a qualified technician do the swap.
