5.0 Introduction
Correct hardware adjustments, regular maintenance, and calibrations will ensure
continued peak printer performance.
5.1 Media Sensor Adjustment
The laterally adjustable Media Sensor is used to detect media; it also detects
label TOF for all media types, except continuous stock (where TOF is
determined by the label format). To properly detect TOF, the gap, notch, or
black mark must pass under the Sensor Eye Mark, as noted in the table below. If
messages such as “Out-Of-Stock” or “Top-Of-Form” appear, the sensor’s
position may need adjustment.
Media Sensor Adjustment
Media Type* Selected Sensing Method Sensor Eye Mark Position
Standard die-cut Gap Near the middle of the label
Circular die-cut Gap Directly over the apex
Notched Gap Directly over the notch
Reflective Reflective Directly over the black mark
Continuous Continuous Near the middle of the label
*See Section 1.3.2 for an explanation of the media requirements.
To adjust the Media Sensor:
The printer powered ‘On’, media loaded, and the access cover open, rotate
the Printhead Latch forward to raise the printhead.
After ensuring that the media is passing through the Media Sensor, position
the Sensor Eye Mark over the label’s TOF mark (see drawing next page) by
grasping and moving the Slide Tab ‘in’ or ‘out’.
