2 Media Handling (When Using Front Sensors)
The front sensors consist of the transparent-type and reflective-type photosensors and the
position of a label or tag is detected as follows:
Transparent-type photosensor: Detects paper gap between labels and tag paper notch.
Reflective-type photosensor: Detects black line.
Note: Check that the adjustable sensor is set to ‘AJSensOF.’ (See Chapter 2.)
