The assembly can be adjusted by loosening the green sensor knob located underneath the label transport assembly and sliding the label sensor unit to the desired position. The gap sensor can be adjusted from a minimum of 0.67 in. (17mm) to a maximum of 2.5 in. (64mm) and the "Eye-Mark" from a minimum of

0.25 in. (6mm) to a maximum of 2.1 in. (53mm) from the fixed position, "inside label guide".
