2.10 Threshold Setting
To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media
sensor to detect a print start position according to the difference of
voltage between a print area and a gap or black mark. When the
media is pre-printed, the darker (or more dense) inks can interfere
with this process causing paper jam errors.
To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold
setting.
If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be
fine adjusted.
Threshold is a voltage level by which the printer determines
whether a print area or a gap/a black mark is being detected by the
media sensor.
The threshold is a boundary between a print area and a gap/black
mark, and should be a midpoint of their voltage levels.
(1) Load the media to be used.
(2) Choose 1) or 2) depending on the sensor type to be used,
then press the [ENTER].
(3) Hold down the [PAUSE] until more than 1.5 labels (tags) have
been fed.
The media will continue to be fed until the [PAUSE] is
released. (An automatic threshold setting for the selected
sensor is completed by this operation.)
(4) The result of the threshold setting is displayed.

NOTES:
1. Failure to feed more than 1.5
labels may result in an
incorrect threshold setting.
2. Ensure that a paper end or
ribbon end error will not
occur during paper feed.
