5.0 Media Sensor Adjustment
The laterally adjustable Media Sensor detects the presence of media and the top-
of-form of all media types except continuous stock, which is set through
programming. For proper detection, the Sensor Eye Mark should be positioned
as noted in the table below. If messages such as ‘Out Of Stock’ or ‘Top of Form
Fault’ appear, the sensor position may need adjustment.
Media Type* Sensor Type Sensor Eye Mark Position
Standard die-cut Gap Near the middle of the label
Circular die-cut Gap Directly over the apex
Notched Gap Directly over the notch
Reflective Reflective Directly over the black mark
