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 (black marks, gaps, notches, or holes). The media sensors also detect Paper Out conditions.

Use the handles on the lower media sensor to horizontally position it so that the left edge of the sensor’s visible red LED is aligned under the left edge of the adhesive label of the installed media.

The upper media sensor, located in the slot under the printhead cover (see figure on page 27), should be located directly over the lower media sensor.
