Adjusting the Label Mark Sensor

The mark sensor detects the mark on the back of continuous media stock. The
output is then used to determine the start of print point. This sensor is located
under the label pathway across from the platen roller. Two adjustments affect
the performance of this sensor, its physical position and sensitivity. To perform
this procedure, you need the following tools:

Digital multimeter

#2 Phillips screwdriver

Small straight-slot screwdriver

To position the label mark sensor

1. Remove the media cover.

2. Use your finger to reach underneath the lower guide.
