Positioning the Media Sensor
The correct positioning of the media sensor is important. It can make the difference
between a perfect label and a call to Technical Support!
There are two media sensors in this printer: “reflective” and “transmissive.”
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, or
�
anywhere along the width of the media if there is a gap between labels
The glow of the red light through the media will help you to accurately position the
reflective sensor.
NOTE: If you are using continuous media, position the reflective
sensor anywhere under the media so that the printer can detect an
out-of-paper condition.
NOTE: The reflective sensor is compatible with most types of media.
However, if you encounter difficulties with calibration, use the
transmissive sensor. See “Transmissive Sensor” on page 12.
