Media Sensor

Handle (2)

Your printer is equipped with upper and lower media sensors that detect the top-of-form position on media with label length indicators (gaps, notches, holes, or black marks). The media sensors also detect Paper Out conditions.

Use the handles on the lower media sensor to horizontally position it in the center of the installed media. Slide the upper sensor directly over the lower sensor.

Running Auto Calibrate

Due to manufacturing differences in media and ribbon, the media sensor may have difficulty distinguishing between the label and the liner (gap).

To ensure proper operation, you must now run Auto Calibrate:

1.Power on the printer by pressing the power switch. (For the location of the power switch and various panel keys, refer to “Controls And Indicators” on page 24.)

.

2. Press the .. key until QUICK SETUP displays.

NOTE: For a complete description of the QUICK SETUP menu, see page 40.
