Positioning The Media Sensors

Your printer is equipped with upper and lower media sensors that

detect the top-of-form position on media with label length indicators

(black marks, gaps, notches, or holes). The media sensors also

detect Paper Out conditions.

Use the handles on the lower media sensor to horizontally position

it in the center of the installed media. Slide the upper media sensor,

located in the slot under the printhead cover (see figure on

page 23), directly over the lower sensor.
