Adjusting The Media Sensor - Brady BP-1244 Operator's Manual

3.2 Adjusting the Media Sensor

The printer is available with a Fixed Media Sensor or an Adjustable
Media Sensor (AMS). To identify the type of sensor in your printer:
1. Open the cover.
2. Push down the Printhead Latch and raise the Printhead Carrier
Assembly.
The Adjustable Media Sensor, shown below, may need to be positioned.
The sensor needs to be positioned so that the printer can detect the
presence of media and the label top-of-form (TOF). The table outlines
the suggested sensor positions for the various media types.
