the information in this guide, please contact Datasouth Service for additional

The printer will detect situations requiring assistance from the operator. The

The printer cannot detect media in the label guide block. If the printer appears
to have media properly installed, one of the following conditions has produced
the message.

through the inside label guide block. The media must travel between the
sensors embedded in the guide block. After adjusting the media press the
ENTER
PRINT
key to print the label.
2. The sensor’s sensitivity is incorrectly adjusted: See Adjusting Sensor
Sensitivity in this section.
3. If printing new or modified PAL label file, the /_MediaSenseLevel
setpagedevice command may have an incorrect sensor sensitivity level.
4. The media sensor system requires repair or replacement. Contact qualified
service personnel.
