10.4 Threshold Setting
10.4 Threshold SettingFor the printer to maintain a constant print position it uses the transmissive 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.
■Threshold setting procedure

(2) Load a media roll in the usual way.
(3) Press the [PAUSE] key.

(5) Press and hold the [PAUSE] key for at least 3
seconds in the pause state.
(6) The sensor type is displayed.

(9) Press the [FEED] key again.
(10) The transmissive sensor (feed gap sensor) is selected.
(11) Press and hold the [PAUSE] key.
(12) The media is advanced until the [PAUSE] key is
