to have media properly installed, one of the following conditions has produced

sensors embedded in the guide block. After adjusting the media press the

2. The sensor’s sensitivity is incorrectly adjusted: See Adjusting Sensor
Sensitivity in this section.
3. If printing new or modified PAL label file, the /_MediaSenseLevel
