EasyCoder 4420 and 4440 Bar Code Label Printer User's Manual
Note: Intermec sets the label gap sensor to 1.3 cm (0.5 in) from the inner
edge of the printer at the factory. You should be able to leave it in this
position for most labels wider than 2.5 cm (1.0 in).
To adjust the label gap sensor
1Remove the media cover.
*
*2 Turn the label gap sensor knob approximately 1/2 turn
counterclockwise to free the sensor for adjustment.
*3 Slide the label gap sensor knob to the position where the label gap
sensor is optimized for the label stock.
Here are some guidelines for you to follow:
*• If the labels are less than 2.5 cm (1.0 in) wide, position the label gap
sensor in the middle of the label.
*• If the labels are greater than 2.5 cm (1.0 in)wide, position the label
gap sensor over the straight edge of the label (not over the label
radius).

position.
*5 Try printing a label to see if the printer is detecting the start of the label
(top of form).
*6 If the printer is still not detecting the top of form, slide the label gap
sensor a little further toward the outer edge of the lower media guide.
*7 Replace the media cover.
