Adjusting the Supply Sensor

Each format design calls for a specific supply size. If you load
supplies that are a different length than the format calls for,
you’ll see an error message when you try to print a batch. To
correct the problem,

Load the correct supply size.

Press

E

to clear the error message.

If you have the correct supply size loaded and you still get the
error message, the supply is not being fed at the correct
length. When this happens, you’ll have to adjust the supply
sensor.

The supply sensor in the printer controls how much supply
feeds between tags or labels. The supply sensor reads black
marks or feed apertures. To read black marks or apertures,
the sensor must be aligned with the black mark or aperture on
the tag. Otherwise, you’ll see an error message when you try
to print a batch.

The sensor adjustment knob moves the sensor in and out.
You can move the black indicator to show the sensor’s position
on the supplies. When the pointer is above the aperture or
black mark on the supply, the supply sensor is aligned
correctly.

When moving the sensor:

Turn the sensor adjustment knob clockwise to move
the sensor away from the inside edge of the supply.

Turn the sensor adjustment knob counterclockwise to
move the sensor toward the inside edge of the supply.

Gently pull the black indicator toward you as you turn the
sensor adjustment knob to accurately position the pin.
