Routine Care and Adjustments
Position the Label Sensor
Position the Label Sensor
There are two media sensors in this printer: reflective and transmissive.
Adjust the Reflective Sensor
The reflective sensor detects the start-of-label indicator (the notch, hole, black mark, or gap
between die-cut labels).
The reflective sensor must be positioned:
• directly under the notch, hole, or black mark
• anywhere along the width of the media if there is a gap between labels
The glow of the red light through the media may help you accurately position the reflective
sensor.
Figure 38 • Adjusting the Reflective Sensor
Note • If you are using continuous media, position the reflective sensor anywhere under the
media to detect an out-of-paper condition. The reflective sensor is compatible with most types
of media. If you have difficulties with calibration, use the transmissive sensor. See
Select the
Transmissive Sensor on page 86 .
