To accommodate a variety of media types the printer is equipped with three sensors. A dual position
transmissive sensor (for gap and notch type label media) and a reflective sensor (for "black mark" type
label media). Several media types and their proper sensor settings are shown below:

Setting (Inner or Outer)
Most applications that use Gap Label Media will use the default setting of "Gap Inner". However if "black
mark" or custom notch media is being used this setting must be changed.
The Media Sensor setting can be changed using the DMXConfig utility, see section 3.3 for more
information.

The Media Sensor settings can also be configured using the printer's internal web pages via a LAN
connection. Simply enter the IP of the printer in your browser to access these pages.
