Position the Label Sensor

There are two media sensors in this printer: reflective and transmissive.

Adjust the Reflective Sensor

The reflective sensor detects the start-of-label indicator (the notch, hole, black mark, or gap between die-cut labels).

The reflective sensor must be positioned:

•directly under the notch, hole, or black mark

•anywhere along the width of the media if there is a gap between labels

The glow of the red light through the media may help you accurately position the reflective sensor.

Note • If you are using continuous media, position the reflective sensor anywhere under the media to detect an out-of-paper condition. The reflective sensor is compatible with most types of media. If you have difficulties with calibration, use the transmissive sensor. See Select the Transmissive Sensor on page 86.
