Positioning The Media Sensors
Your printer is equipped with upper and lower media sensors that
detect the top-of-form position on media with label length indicators
(gaps, notches, holes, or black marks). The media sensors also
detect Paper Out conditions.
Use the handles on the lower media sensor to horizontally position
it in the center of the installed media. Slide the upper sensor directly
over the lower sensor.
Running Auto Calibrate
Due to manufacturing differences in media and ribbon, the media
sensor may have difficulty distinguishing between the label and the
liner (gap).
To ensure proper operation, you must now run Auto Calibrate:
1. Power on the printer by pressing the power switch. (For the
location of the power switch and various panel keys, refer to
“Controls And Indicators” on page 9.)
2. Press the PAUSE key until “OFFLINE” displays on the LCD.
3. Press the
and keys together until “ENTER SWITCH
UNLOCKED” displays.
