Adjust Media Sensors

The transmissive sensor consists of two sections: a light source (the lower media sensor) and a light sensor (the upper media sensor). The media passes between the two.

Adjust these sensors only when the printer cannot detect the top of the label. The control panel LCD displays ERROR CONDITION PAPER OUT, even though there are labels loaded in the printer.

Note • For most models of XiIIIPlus, the upper media sensor can be positioned along the inside half of the media (the side closest to the back frame of the printer) or the outside half of the media (the side farthest from the back frame of the printer). However, for the 220XiIIIPlus, you cannot move the sensors to the outside half of the media.

Upper Media Sensor—Inside Half of Media

To adjust the upper media sensor for the inside half of the media, complete these steps:

1.Remove the ribbon (if ribbon is used).

2.See Figure 12. Locate the upper media sensor. The upper media sensor eye is directly below the adjustment screw head.
