Position the Transmissive Sensor
This printer uses two types of media sensors: transmissive and reflective. By default, the
printer uses the transmissive sensor, which you can adjust for optimal print performance. The
reflective sensor is a secondary media sensing system that is activated only if the transmissive
sensor cannot be used to calibrate the media.
The transmissive sensor is equipped with a slide-on sensor sleeve (Figure 4). This sleeve has a
notch on one end and a hole in the middle, which help the printer calibrate media that has an
edge notch or an intra-label gap.
Figure 4 • Transmissive Sensor and Sensor Sleeve
The lower section of the transmissive sensor has two white vertical positioning marks and a
movable adjustment tab pointer (Figure 5). The positioning marks correspond to the notch and
hole in the sensor sleeve.
