The MP Nova printers are equipped with media positioning sensors (MPS). The MPS detects the media and can be set to three different modes depending on how and where gaps and marks are positioned on the media:

1.Outer sensor mode – detects label gaps about 16 mm from the edge of the media.

Note: This is the default setting.

2.Inner sensor mode – detects label gaps about 5 mm from the edge of the media.

3.Black mark sensor – detects black marks on the reverse side of the media, about 5 mm from the edge of the media.

4.To change the settings, see the Printer settings menu on the Getting started CD.

Note: Changes in the printer settings should be made by qualified personnel.

For more information about ticket, tag and label specifications, see the Media specification sheet.
