Position the lower media sensor for detecting gaps, notches, or holes in
media with a white background. Place the upper sensor above the lower
sensor to provide a consistent background.

hole.
2. Check the position of the lower sensor by looking through the long,
narrow opening in the media guard. Use the visible red light emitting from
the lower sensor as a reference pointer.
3. Use the sensor handle to manually position the sensor to the center of the
gap, notch, or hole in the media.
4. Set Gap/Mark Sensor to Gap in the CALIBRATE CTRL menu. See
