6. 6 MANUAL THRESHOLD SETTING
6-12
The threshold setting result is indicated with one of the following icon types.
No.

Icon name
Explanation
1
OK (Mid.)
Print position is detectable with the media sensor.
Threshold is at the midpoint between the peak
and the baseline.
2
OK (High)
Threshold is near the peak voltage, so detection
of a gap/black mark may fail if the voltage
difference is very small. (Adjusting the threshold
to the midpoint between the peak and the
baseline enables more accurate detection.)
3
OK (Low)
Threshold is near the baseline voltage, so
detection of a gap/black mark may fail if the
voltage difference is very small. (Adjusting the
threshold to the midpoint between the peak and
the baseline enables more accurate detection.)
4
NG
（
1
）
Print position is not detectable with the media
sensor. Sensor adjustment is necessary.
5
NG

Print position is not detectable with the media
sensor. Sensor adjustment is necessary.

6
NG

Print position is not detectable with the media
sensor.
(Calibration may enable print position detection,
but it is very difficult.)

The calibration result and the threshold voltage
are displayed.
Pressing the [RIGHT] key enables setting a
threshold fine adjustment value.
Pressing the [LEFT] key returns the display to
the calibration result display.
(Supplementary Explanation)
(1) When the [PAUSE] key is released within 3 seconds while the printer is paused, the [PAUSE] key is
invalid.
(2) To program the threshold, 1.5 pieces or more label shall be fed. (If the label feed amount is
insufficient, the threshold may not be properly programmed. In this case, the threshold setting is
required again.)
(3) While the head is lifted, the [PAUSE] key is invalid even if the [PAUSE] key is held down for 3
seconds or more.
(4) When the proper print position is not obtained even after threshold setting, the sensor may be
improperly adjusted. In this case, readjust the sensor in system mode, and program the threshold.
When the backing paper of the label is too thick, the transmissive sensor needs to be readjusted.
In addition, make sure that “3: Transmissive sensor (when using the preprinted label)” or “4:
Reflective sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” is selected for sensor type of the Feed
Command and the Issue Command.
