9.4 Threshold Setting

9.4 Threshold Setting

For the printer to maintain a constant print position it uses the feed gap sensor to detect the gap between labels by measuring the amount of light passing through the media. When the media is pre-printed, the darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper jammed errors. To get around this problem a minimum threshold can be set for the sensor in the following way.
