1.5 Setting Sensor Positions
After loading the media, as outlined in the previous paragraphs, it will usually be necessary to set the Media
Sensors used to detect the print start position for label or tag printing.
Feed Gap Sensor Position Adjustment

labels are round.
Black Mark Sensor Position Adjustment

If the Black Mark is printed on the top of the tag media then simply rotate the Green Sensor Adjust Gear to
move the Sensor Ass’y so that the Black Mark Indicator ( ) is directly in line with the Black Mark on the top
of the paper.
2) If the Black Mark is printed on the bottom of the tag media then fold the media back to be able to see the
Black Mark and its relationship to the Sensor Ass’y as shown in the figure below.
