the media is fed
out and the status
becomes error.

"Media detection

"Media detection (blackmark/gap)" of the printer and
the media used may be different.
Check "Media Detection Settings" of the printer and the
media used.

"Paper settings" on page 69
The blackmark is out of
the specifications.
When the reflective rate of the blackmark is higher than
the specified value, the blackmark may not be
recognized.
Infrared light is used for blackmark detection and the
infrared light reflective rate must be below the specified
value.
Check the specifications of blackmark printing, and use
the blackmark conforming to printer specifications.
Also, recognition may be possible by "Automatic
adjustment of gap and blackmark detection sensor".
Start the PrinterSetting from the printer driver. Select
"Detailed settings" and "Advanced settings" and execute
"Adjust media detection sensor".
For details, refer to
"Advanced settings" on page 106

damaged.
If it had been working properly, the sensor may be
damaged. Request a repair.

Media gap
detection cannot
be selected with
fanfold paper.
This is the specification
of the product.
To avoid paper jams, the mount of fanfold paper is
specified thicker than roll paper.
Because the mount is thick, gap detection may not be
possible even on genuine paper.
The usable label media range becomes wider by
adjusting the threshold value of the gap detector from
the printer driver; however, this is not guaranteed for all
media.
Therefore, gap detection cannot be performed on
fanfold paper by the specifications.
In the case of roll media, gap detector can be used in
the specifications because the same original roll/mount
are specified.
