Adjusting The Media Sensors; Feed Gap Sensor; Black Mark Sensor - Toshiba BV410D-GS02-QM-S Owner's Manual

11. Adjusting the Media Sensors

The two types of media sensors are equipped in this printer as below.
Feed gap sensor (transmissive): Detects the length between the labels.
Black mark sensor (reflective): Detects the black marks printed on the back side of the media.
 When the media is changed to another one, it is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of these two sensors.
 Otherwise, printed black marks are not detected and an error will occur as a result.
 Feed gap sensor
 The position [1] of the feed gap sensor is fixed. Align the protrusion of the black mark sensor [2] to the position as
shown in the figure below.
 Be sure to perform calibration of the media sensors whenever you change the media type.
For details, refer to "BV400 Series Key Operation Specification" in the CD-ROM.
The feed gap sensor is positioned 6.27 mm right from the media center.
 Black mark sensor
Slide the black mark sensor [2] toward the right or left to align it to the center of the black mark
