Adjust Media Sensors

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 front panel LCD displays ERROR CONDITION PAPER OUT, even though there are labels loaded in the printer.

Note • The upper media sensor can be positioned along the inside half of the media (the side closest to the back of the printer) or the outside half of the media (the side farthest from the back of the printer).

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.Locate the upper media sensor (Figure 27). The upper media sensor eye is directly below the adjustment screw head.

3.Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, slightly loosen the upper media sensor adjustment screw.

4.Using the tip of the screwdriver, slide the upper sensor along the slot to the desired position (for non-continuous media with a notch or hole in the media, the sensor must be directly above the notch or hole).

5.Tighten the adjustment screw to secure the upper media sensor.
