Adjust Media Sensors
This section describes how to adjust the media sensors.
Black Mark Sensor
The optional black mark sensor is in a fixed position and is enabled via the control panel (see
Set the Sensor Type on page 81 for details).
Transmissive Sensor
The transmissive sensor, which is used to detect web media, 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.
Adjust these sensors only when the printer cannot detect the top of the label. The control panel
LCD displays
ERROR CONDITION PAPER OUT , even though there are labels loaded in
the printer.
Upper Media Sensor
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.
To adjust the upper and lower media sensors, complete these steps:
1. Remove media and ribbon.
2. Locate the upper media sensor (1). The upper media sensor “eye” is directly below the
adjustment screw head.
Note • If you are using continuous media, position the upper media sensor over the media
with the lower media sensor directly below it so that the printer can detect an out-of-paper
condition.
