4.6 Media sensor adjustments
The printer is equipped with the upper and lower media sensors that are moved separately.
Both media sensors detect the presence of media and top of form of media except continuous roll media.
The media should be positioned for the media sensors as described in the following table.
Media Using media sensor Sensor position mark
Black mark tag Lower sensor Directly over the black mark
Die-cut label Lower and upper sensors The middle of media
Center-punched hole tag Lower and upper sensors Directly over the hole
Notched tag Lower and upper sensors Directly over the notch
Positioning the sensor
To adjust the media sensor position, perform the following operation:
1 Open the top cover all the way until it stops at hinges, unlock the printhead assembly by pushing the
printhead release lever and open it towards the left side of the printer all the way until it stops and
stands upright and at the same time unlock the transparent sensor guide by pushing the release lever
and open it towards the left side of the printer all the way until it stops.
2 When the media is a black mark tag, align the black mark with the lower sensor position mark ‘R.’
Then lower the transparent sensor guide fully to the end and push it to lock and route the media over
the platen out to the front of the printer.
