Getting Started

If the media is not being sensed, try adjusting the label sensor position by turning the adjustment knob for the movable sensor. The gauge behind and below the Printhead can be viewed for making this adjustment. If the label’s edge is not detected within 12" (305 mm) of feeding, the Printer will stop and the paper/ribbon light will remain on. In this case, check the threading of the media around the bottom of the upper and lower Media Guides.

If the paper only feeds forward about 1-inch (26 mm) each time you press the feed button, and does not seem to be stopping on a label edge, the ribbon switch, (shown in Figure 1-5) was probably turned on without thermal-transfer ribbon being installed. Slide this switch toward the front of the Printer for direct-thermal printing. In addition this condition can occur if the media is improperly routed.
