2.3.1 AMS Adjustment
For the proper detection of media and the label top of form (TOF), the table below indicates suggested AMS
positions for various media types.
Adjustable Media Sensor Position
Media Type Suggested Sensor Placement TOF Sensing Used
Continuous* Near the center of the media Continuous
Die-cut Near the center of the label Gap
Notched Near the center of the notch Gap
Reflective Near the center of the black mark Reflective
*The printer must be configured to use continuous media, see Section 3.4.
To properly position the AMS, you will need to know where the TOF mark is located on your media. (For more
information on media, see Appendix A - Specifications.)
Depending of your media type, take a measurement from the left-justified media edge across to the center of
the TOF mark as suggested in the table above. The following example illustrates the measurement of notched
media.
