1. Install media. If a break
occurred, reinstall the
media. Press the PAUSE
key to clear the fault
message. Check the
media installation
procedures on page 28.
2. Verify the lower media
sensor is properly
positioned under the
media. If Advanced Gap or
Advanced Notch is
selected, verify the upper
media sensor is positioned
above the lower media
sensor. Run Auto Calibrate
to improve the ability of the
sensor to detect the
installed media.
3. Check if the Gap/Mark
Threshold is too high or the
Paper Out Threshold is too
low. Lower the Gap/Mark
Threshold or raise the
Paper Out Threshold
value.
4. If using media with no gaps
or black marks, perform
Auto Calibrate to establish
a valid Paper Out
Threshold.
5. If the printer detected a
false PAPER OUT when
changing from Advanced
Gap or Advanced Notch to
Gap or Mark sensing or
vice-versa, press the
PAUSE key and run Auto
Calibrate.
