The correct positioning of the media sensors is important — it can make
the difference between a perfect label and a call to Technical Support!

The web or gap sensor, better known as the “transmissive sensor,” detects
the gap between labels.

The transmissive sensor actually consists of two sections: a light source
(the lower media sensor) and a light sensor (the upper media sensor). The
media passes between the two.

The upper media sensor must be positioned:

• Directly over the hole or notch, or

• Anywhere along the width of the media if there is a gap between labels.

NOTE: If you are using continuous media, position the upper media

sensor over the media so that the printer can detect an
out-of-paper condition.
