Getting Started
Adjusting the Transmissive Media Sensor Assembly
Position
When the XiII printer is powered on, it performs a self test and configures its
operating characteristics. Some of these characteristics are determined by
the position of the Transmissive Media Sensor. See Figure 4 on page 16.
The factory-set position is sufficient for most types of media. However, if
media sensor adjustments are needed, follow the procedures below.
Note: The Reflective (Black-Mark) Media Sensor position is not adjustable; it is
positioned to accommodate all black-mark media that meets the specifica-
tions listed in “Media Specifications” on page 86.
Note: If you are using continuous media (no gap, notch, or hole between labels) or
black-mark media, position the transmissive sensor over the media so that
the printer can detect an out-of-paper condition. The factory-set position
should be sufficient for this purpose.
The Transmissive Media Sensor Assembly consists of two sections. The
media passes between a light source and a light sensor. The light source is
positioned below the media, while the light sensor is positioned above the
media.
This adjustment aligns the position of the light sensor with the notch or
edge of the label.
