2.13 Threshold Setting

2.13 Threshold Setting	To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media sensor to
	detect a print start position according to the difference of voltage between
	a print area and a gap or black mark. When the media is pre-printed, the
	darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper
	jam errors.
	To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.
	If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be
	manually set.

Automatic threshold setting procedure

1.Turn the power ON. The printer is in online mode.

2.Load a pre-printed media roll.

When using a label stock, move the Feed Gap Sensor so that it is in line with the centre of the label.

When using a tag stock, move the Black Mark Sensor so that it is in line with the centre of a black mark.

3.Press the [PAUSE] key.

4.The printer enters the pause mode.
