5.5 Adjusting the Sensitivity of Paper Sensor
Before using black mark paper (BM paper) or label paper, adjust the sensitivity of the
paper sensor by using actual paper.

This printer has three types of built-in paper sensors.
In case of label, set it so that label is positioned on the label light receiving sensor
and label light emitting sensor. In case of black mark paper, set it so that the printable
portion (other than black mark) is positioned on the black mark sensor. With this
state kept, closing the printer cover causes ERROR LED to blink with the buzzer
sound.
